When you operate in primary and secondary aluminum and non ferrous metal processing, you need refractory products engineered specifically for aluminum contact and extreme heat conditions. Plibrico supports your operation with monolithic refractory materials for aluminum, including one of the first complete lines of non wetting aluminum contact castable refractories developed for demanding aluminum environments.

Al-Tuff Series

The Al-Tuff series of non wetting refractory materials is engineered to help you extend lining life, reduce aluminum penetration, and limit oxidation related wear. These aluminum contact refractories use a modified surface chemistry that increases wetting resistance and improves overall refractory durability in aluminum service.

Al-Shield Series

In high temperature aluminum and non ferrous metal applications, certain contact areas are exposed to aggressive aluminum alloys and severe aluminum service conditions. Plibrico offers Al-Shield castable refractories and gun mixes engineered specifically for these demanding aluminum environments.

These aluminum resistant refractory products use specialized additives that react with molten aluminum to form a dense, protective barrier at the refractory surface. This barrier helps limit aluminum penetration and chemical attack, resulting in longer service life, fewer unplanned outages, and more reliable performance in critical aluminum contact areas.

Exo-Set UNO Series

For general aluminum furnace areas and metal contact zones, Exo-Set UNO phosphate-bonded refractory materials deliver corrosion resistance, durability, and a fast return to service. These chemically bonded refractories are engineered for aluminum furnace applications where reliable performance matters most.

Plibrico’s Exo-Set UNO series includes castables, gun mixes, and plastic refractories designed specifically for aluminum furnaces. As single-component, “just add water” phosphate-bonded mixes, they enable quick, easy, and safe installation with accelerated dry-out schedules. These features deliver consistent, reliable performance and help operations get back up and running faster.

Phosphate Bonded Plastic Series

For aluminum furnace repairs and maintenance, you need refractory plastics that bond reliably and perform under extreme heat. Plibrico phosphate bonded plastics are formulated using Pliphos, a proprietary monoaluminum phosphoric acid blend that helps improve bond strength and extend refractory lining service life.

These phosphate bonded refractory plastics are low in impurities, iron, and alkalis, offering stable storage characteristics and consistent performance. Designed to bond securely to existing refractory linings, they resist aluminum penetration at very high temperatures, making them a durable, dependable solution and a preferred choice for maintenance driven aluminum operations.
