Tundish Linings

Working Linings

Benefits of Vesuvius tundish working lining solutions

• Improved safety
• Simplified installation
• Extended service life

Engineered materials

BASILITE* :  A range of sprayable, disposable Tundish working lining coatings that can be applied through our state of the art BASILITE* spray equipment or can be also be applied manually.
BASILITE* can be used cold or hot with custom designed high efficiency drying equipment.

• Low installed density
• Easy deskulling
• Low thermal conductivity resulting in reduced temperature loss from the steel
• Reduced hydrogen pick-up concerns
• Minimal alkali content to maximize permanent lining service life
• Simplified ramping and dry-out procedure
• Low thermal improvement insulation

BASIVIBE* / TUNDEX*: MgO based tundish vibratable material solution for both non-preheated and preheated tundish start up practice.

• Simplified installation
• Eliminates moisture as a source of hydrogen
• Low organic binder content to reduce possible hydrogen and carbon pickup
• Increased slag resistance due to low porosity
• Longer casting sequence lengths
• Consistent internal tundish dimensions
• Uniform lining to reduce steel pollution and maintain tundish flow pattern
• Reduced energy requirements for curing dry versus spray linings

TUNCAST*: A range of sprayable products for Tundish working linings. Environmentally friendly materials applied through custom designed mixing and robotic application equipment. TUNCAST* can be used with hot or cold tundish practice. Custom designed high efficiency drying equipment is also available.
