Shotcrete for Molten Metal Handling
Minteq International Inc. (MINTEQ) specializes in iron- and steel-ladle applications for cold construction and maintenance as well as hot repair of these vessels. We also specialize in hot repair and maintenance of vacuum degasser snorkels and vessels. Our shotcrete products are tuned for specific performance:
- Excellent hot and cold installed strengths
- Slag corrosion resistance optimized for specific slag chemistries
- Shotcretes designed to withstand physical and mechanical abuse typical in de-skulling operations
For cold construction and repair we focus on the following shotcrete products:
- OPTISHOT® 60: 60 percent alumina silica, low cement bonded, utility refractory castable shotcrete material
- OPTISHOT® 85: 85 percent alumina silica, low cement bonded, high performance refractory castable shotcrete material
- FASTFIRE® 60: 60 percent alumina silica, rapid dry-out refractory castable shotcrete material technology for operational efficiency
- OPTISHOT® ALM: Spinel-forming refractory castable shotcrete material technology
- OPTISHOT® SP: Pre-formed spinel refractory castable shotcrete material
- OPTISHOT® MG88: 88 percent magnesia, high-performance refractory castable shotcrete material
For hot repair in these vessels we focus on the following fine grain shotcrete products:
- OPTISHOT® MG-FG: Magnesia-based refractory castable shotcrete material
- OPTISHOT® SP-FG: Spinel-forming refractory castable shotcrete material
- OPTISHOT® MX-FG: Magnesia/Alumina refractory castable shotcrete material
In all settings and scenarios, the global steel industry benefits from MINTEQ’s commitment to providing the ultimate, application-specific solutions for reduced costs, increased vessel life, and enhanced productivity.
