TENMAT ADVANCED MATERIALS

Specifically designed for high temperature applications, materials such as FIREFLY, NITRASIL, SINDANYO and ARCLEX have
proven themselves to work even in the most arduous and harsh environments such as aluminium, steel and glass works, as well
as nuclear power plants.

SINDANYO is used in the potroom in strip form between pot covers and cathode frames and in pad or plate forms between the
anode support, the control gear and the super structure

SINDANYO is ideal material for crust breaker discs, busbar and primary frame insulation.

ARCLEX and SINDANYO provides the necessary electrical insulation of the cathode frame on its concrete base and to insulate
busbars from the steel retaining and cathode frames.

FIREFLY FF700 millboard is a popular choice for many sealing requirements including syphon tube gaskets in molten metal
transfer equipment.

FIREFLY FF700 millboard provides the insulating layer between the crucible and its hot face refractory lining, reducing heat losses
thereby maintaining melt temperature longer. It is also used underneath the pots. FF700 possesses the necessary strength to be
used as a permanent former when casting concrete.

Inside the electrolysis pot FIREFLY FF700 millboard shields the anodes in order to exclude alumina whilst gas heating takes place
during start up. Once operating temperature is reached the millboard becomes a sacrificial component in the pot.

RF1000 grade products are used as the insulation in crucibles, transport ladles and launder systems ensuring cost effective
maintenance of liquid metal temperature for long periods of time.

CS1150 pouring nozzles have replaced conventional calcium silicate and cast iron tubes for flow control of liquid aluminium.
