ABRESIST
Wear-proof fused cast basalt for protection against frictional wear
Basalt is a variety of igneous rock with high density and a uniform mineral structure. Its hardness makes it the ideal raw material for the mineral-based, wear-resistant products used throughout the world under the brand name ABRESIST. ABRESIST fused basalt reliably protects plant components such as cinder channels, marl funnels or coke bunkers in the iron and steel industry or ordinary piping, such as flue ash piping in thermal power stations, from abrasive wear.
