Steel ladles play a crucial role in the steelmaking process, transporting molten steel between different stages of production, but high heat losses in every stage of the production can affect quality and increase energy costs. Promat Microporous insulation have extremely low thermal conductivity, making them highly effective in minimizing heat losses, preventing steel temperature drops, boosting energy efficiency, and extending ladle lifespan by reducing outer shell temperatures. This ensures consistent steel quality and reduces operational costs, enhancing overall production efficiency.

Steelmaking demands advanced thermal insulation to enhance efficiency, cut energy costs, and reduce environmental impact. High-quality insulation minimizes heat loss in processes over 1600°C, optimizing energy use and ensuring reliable output. Promat’s high-performing microporous and vermiculite backup lining materials offer effective solutions for energy savings in extreme temperatures, supporting a more efficient steelmaking process.

Discover how Etex — the parent company of URSA — is leading the sustainable transformation of the construction sector, with key results in decarbonisation, circularity and innovation

In 2024, Etex - the global building material manufacturer and pioneer in lightweight construction - took significant steps to position itself for future growth. This is particularly notable across several key dimensions: sustainability, financial performance, customer focus, manufacturing, safety and teammate engagement. These results are highlighted in the company’s latest combined annual report, presenting together its economic, social and environmental footprint, as well as performance.

On the 13-15.05.2024 in Bielsko Biała in Poland was the 6th international tunneling forum. The event was dedicated to the various topics relating to tunnel construction, maintenance and future projects.

This ambitious project involves the use of advanced materials and techniques to ensure the tunnels meet modern standards.

The Tunnel de Cointe in Liège is undergoing a significant renovation, marking the second phase of a comprehensive project aimed at enhancing its safety and functionality.

A true pioneer in the development of lightweight, sustainable products, Etex, through its flagship brand Siniat, has designed a standard plasterboard made from 100% recycled gypsum recovered after use, using almost exclusively circular materials for its other constituents, with the same performance as a conventional plasterboard.

Etex, a global lightweight construction materials manufacturer, has officially opened its 200 million euros expansion of its plasterboard production facility in Bristol, United Kingdom. It is Etex’s largest production investment ever and a commitment to UK manufacturing as the industry grows.
