The TUFFLOOR family of products is
for flooring that experiences rapid changes in temperature and frequent
thermal cycling. TUFFLOOR
products are designed to remain stable during intermittent contact with
molten metal splash, slag, dross, molten metal transfer equipment and
other harsh contact. Non-molten metal applications include furnace pits,
flooring around forging and heating ovens. TUFFLOOR resists spalling when in
intermittent contact with these high heat conditions.
American Precast Refractories
can manufacture precast shapes in virtually any size. Precast TUFFLOOR blocks can be easily
installed by the customer. A precast shapes offers all of the same
advantages as TUFFLOOR that is
cast in place, and eliminates the time involved in casting equipment set
up time. Although installation time is not eliminated, it can be
significantly reduced. Precast blocks are pre-fired, eliminating all the
free water before installation. A precast block floor system can be used
immediately, while a cast in place system requires curing time.
Our
Application Engineering capabilities allow us to design flooring systems
that will meet your requirements.
TUFFLOOR is used by steel mills, foundries, brass mills, aluminum
mills, forgers, heat treaters, and almost every other industry where high
temperature thermal cycling is a problem.
