SUPER REFRACTORIES

REFRACTORY MATERIALS

• Refractory is a material that will retain its shape and chemical identity when subjected to high temperatures and is used in applications that require extreme resistance to heat, such as furnace linings. Refractory products are basically used in industries for heat resistant and containment.

• CUMI's manufactures Super Refractories (which can be in two forms fired refractories and monolithic) and also Refractory Fibre.

• The manufacturing process involves batching and mixing different raw materials based on unique formulations customized to suit specific applications. This does not require any firing. Monolithics are used, when the refractory material cannot be manufactured in a shape and form due to size and larger area to be covered.

• CUMI is a market leader in the manufacture of super refractory products in India since 1965 with technical know-how from Carborundum Company USA. The other players in the industry are ACE Refractories, Maithan Ceramics, Vesuvius etc. The acquisition of VAW, Russia has given CUMI a foothold in the Russian market for refractories. The acquisition has also given CUMI access to advanced technology.

• The key success factors in this industry are quality and application engineering support to customers. Technology and its absorption constitute major entry barriers.
