Abstract
Microtherm is effective in reducing shell temperatures in confined spaces w here compression is severe and much insulation is required. This material c an prove beneficial for applications such as cement and lime rotary kiln tr ansition and hot zones; copper converters and anode furnaces; steel and iro n ladles, tundishes, RH vessels, and blast furnaces; and aluminum filter bo xes, runners, and metal transporters.
