Think higher! Trust in tailor-made refractory solutions

For more than 130 years, RATH has been burning for refractory products and is a renowned specialist for refractory technology – especially heat treatment and melting furnaces in the metal industry.

RATH application engineers know the metal industry’s requirements and processes down to the last detail and are sought-after experts when it comes to processing and coordinating refractory supplies for melting and heat treatments worldwide. The broad refractory portfolio for a wide range of applications is developed and produced entirely by RATH.

Older industrial plants often have a poorer energy balance due to technological obsolescence. The refractory lining of furnaces has a major influence on their energy efficiency and RATH offers sound advice on improvement measures and innovative insulation concepts, which increasingly focus on state-of-the-art "lightweight" refractory linings with ceramic high-temperature modules. The "combi-module" developed by RATH incorporates two materials and has always combined cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency in one product.
