For successful castings!
OLIMAG Sands offers its range of MAGFILL® refractory sands for filling the casting nozzles of electric arc furnace crucibles.
Balanced particle size distribution
MAGFILL® sands have perfectly balanced particle size distributions to ensure maximum opening of the casting nozzles and a free and rapid flow of molten steel.
Basic pH
MAGFILL® sands have a basic pH that does not cause chemical reactions that could damage refractory materials, thus helping to increase their useful life and the duration of casting campaigns.
Chemically homogeneous sand
OLIMAG's high-temperature calcination process removes impurities to produce a chemically homogeneous sand with optimal refractory properties. It forms a perfectly sealed plug on the surface of the casting nozzle with minimal subsurface melting.
World-renowned effectiveness
The effectiveness of MAGFILL® sands is appreciated in more than forty steel mills in Canada, USA, Mexico, Panama, Chile, Argentina, Trinidad and Spain.
