Basic Gunning Mass
Magnesia Gunning Mass is a spray-applied refractory material used to repair high-temperature industrial furnaces and equipment particularly converters, electric arc furnaces (EAFs), snorkels, and ladles. A blend of magnesia (MgO), binders, and additives is delivered by specialized gunning equipment and projected onto the target surface, enabling fast, efficient repairs, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Features
- Chemically basic: Suitable for areas lined with basic refractories (e.g., magnesia, magnesia-chrome).
- High durability: Excellent corrosion, erosion, and abrasion resistance; ideal for restoring damaged areas.
- Safer installation: Mechanised application improves worker safety.
Benefits
- Extended service life: Reduces the frequency of gunning interventions and maintenance time.
- Improved productivity: Minimises operational interruptions.
- Lower environmental impact: 100% recyclable, reducing waste and overall environmental footprint.
Applications
- Converter: Interior of working and safety (non-working) linings.
- EAF: Interior of working zones.
- Ladle: Intermediate zone and slag line repairs.
- Snorkel: Inside and outside surfaces.
