Specialised refractory, insulation and moulding materials developed in-house for demanding industrial environments.
Heatconsult develops materials in-house and only manufactures a formulation when it offers a meaningful advantage. The technology archive is designed to match or quickly adapt materials to the actual service environment.
Most materials are batched in 8 kg to 25 kg bags to minimise segregation variation from bag to bag. The in-house QA system is geared toward research, development and application fit.
Technical servicesThe rebuilt catalogue keeps the original technical information, product guidance, installation notes, physical properties and reference images.
Abrasion resistant materials are difficult to select. "Abrasion" covers a wide range of conditions from impact by rocks to wear by fine particles in an air stream. All abrasion resistant mat…

Explore →Technical category1. Thermal Cups: These are similar to the “beads” on the wiring of toaster and iron. They allow flexing while keeping the cable enclosed.
Explore →Technical categoryHeatconsult does not manufacture standard castables, since there are a large number of companies already making them. We do make a few special castables
Explore →Technical categoryCellular insulation is a new concept in refractories, developed by Heatconsult. The materials are based on cenospheres; tiny hollow ceramic balls, which give very good insulation properties,…
Explore →Technical categoryThese criteria are difficult to meet. Keratab Dump Mix was eventually perfected to display all of these properties. It turned out to be ideal for certain applications in furnace roofs. The b…
