Why is the Refractory Industry Essential for our Modern Life?
Refractories are essential protectants for all heat-intensive production processes, including iron and steelmaking, cement production, glass, ceramics, aluminum, and nonferrous metals, paper and pulp, petrochemical processing, power production, and waste incineration.
Simply put, without refractories, these industries, and the products they produce, would not exist.
