Shaped refractories are materials used in the construction and lining of industrial vessels that operate at very high temperatures ( >1000 °C). They are pieces with a standardized form: bricks, wedges, or special pieces. mouldable, etc. ).

ITMA works with companies of the sector refractory specifically in the following aspects:

• Comprehensive Thermomechanical characterization of conforming units.
• Comprehensive chemical-physical characterization of conforming refractories.
• Post-mortem studies.
• Formulation Design.
• Conditioning and processing of raw materials: aggregates and powders.
• "Semidry" and "wet" non conforming through: uniaxial press and isostatic pressing, extrusion and injection.
• Design and evaluation of heat treatments: drying, tempering and sintering.
• Machining of moulded parts.
• Design and modelling of parts and refractory lining.
• Development of R + D + i projects.
