Gunnable for Molten Metal Handling

Minteq International Inc. (MINTEQ) offers a complete line of magnesia, alumina silica, and spinel-forming gunnables for iron and steel ladles, and degasser snorkel and vessel maintenance. This provides the steel maker with improved brick performance via periodic maintenance and repairs to the brick lining. MINTEQ delivers these advantages with our patented MAG-O-STAR® spray coating systems, designed for steel ladle slaglines, and vacuum degasser snorkel maintenance systems. Traditional gunning of these vessels is also an option; we supply the complete package of gunning refractory, installation equipment, and steel mill service.

MINTEQ formulates and even custom-tailors these products to the specific operational conditions and the slag chemistry in each operation. 

Our patented MAG-O-STAR® sprayable coating system line is as follows:

  • MAG-O-STAR® is a magnesia-based sprayable coating refractory material
  • MAG-O-STAR® ALM is a spinel-forming sprayable coating refractory material
  • MAG-O-STAR® AL20 is an alumina silica-based sprayable coating refractory material
  • MAG-MIX™ DG sprayable coating refractory material is specifically tuned for vacuum degasser units

MINTEQ also offers world class magnesia gunning products designed for specific applications.  EUROSHOT™, DURATEQ®, and MONO-LINE® refractory linings form the core of this product offering. To find out which system best fits your need, contact MINTEQ for a plant survey.
