DEXOTERM is a granulated covering agent used in ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy. DEXOTERM is ideally suited as metal insulation for steel-timing and intermediate ladles and for hot-metal transfercars. Thanks to its unique low bulk density and low thermal conductivity properties, DEXOTERM provides perfect melt surface insulation.

Advantages:

• Reduction of heat loss in hot-metal transfercars;
• Reduction of power consumption for steel heating;
• Reduction of specific electrode consumption;
• Minimization of wear of steel ladle lining;
• Extension of ladle cover lifetime;
• Increased conformity of metal products thanks to provision of sufficient protection from secondary oxidation, lower overheating above liquidus curve and more stable steel temperature while pouring.
