Our ladle covering compound is a highly insulating powder with strong spreadability, helping reduce temperature loss and stabilize molten steel during casting windows.
Radex style ladle covering compound forms an insulating top layer over molten steel. This reduces radiation loss and helps maintain ladle temperature over longer holding times.
The blend is tuned for quick spreadability and coverage, helping protect liquid metal from atmospheric exposure in steel plant operations.
