Solutions for refractories

> The SECAR rangeCIMENT FONDU and SECAR 51 are fused products with a mineralogy focused on calcium aluminates (CA) to give strong hydraulic activity and impart excellent mechanical properties to conventional concretes.These cements are recommended when rapid hardening properties are required. They are adapted to all types of placing methods, particularly casting and gunning. The low iron oxide content of SECAR 51, when combined with appropriate aggregates, makes it particularly suitable for concretes having to withstand carbon monoxide reducing atmospheres. SECAR 71 is a pure cement with carefully controlled balance of CA and CA2 phases, allowing refractory producers to create products of excellent stability, optimum workability and high temperature performance. SECAR 71 shows outstanding additive compatibility allowing a high degree of performance optimisation in all types of deflocculated systems.

SECAR 712 possesses all the attributes of SECAR 71 and incorporates a leading edge technology that provides time stability not only to cement but also to low cement castables. SECAR 80 is a formulated cement with alumina and additive additions to enhance formulation simplicity and performance level in conventional and medium cement castables.

SECAR Plenium is an innovative engineered binder designed for dense castables with a reduced lime content. SECAR Plenium provides simplicity and flexibility of castable design, high fluidity and a competitive advantage for high performing formulations such as alumina rich castables with or without reactive fillers or magnesia containing systems.

> The Calcium-Magnesium-Aluminate rangeCMA 72 is the first inroad into a new generation of binder that provides highly reactive spinel, develops unique microstructure and gives rise to superior corrosion resistance. CMA 72 displays similar placing properties to SECAR 71 and demonstrates synergetic effect with Peramin AL.

> The Peramin additive range for refractory applicationPeramin AL 200 and Peramin AL 300 are two fluidifying agents specifically designed for low cement alumina and alumina-spinel based castables.

A BROAD PORTFOLIO OF PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS

> Ensuring SECAR quality and reliabilityKerneos maintains an ambitious programme of worldwide quality management systems and this includes an active transfer of best practices around the network of industrial sites. These actions have been supported by major capital investments in new plant and leading edge laboratory equipment and analysis capability such as XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) or XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence).

As a result, measuring capabilities are uniform across all industrial sites and ultimately leads to better product consistency.

As part of an enhanced customer service, a Quality Data Management (QDM) system has been installed which allows personalised information relating to product conformity and quality certificates to be efficiently communicated to our customers.

Different levels of quality data presentation can be offered and customised according to specific customer needs. This quest is

driven by the necessity to provide customers with more pertinent information relating to the conformity and characteristics of our products.

> Guaranting delivery through a high performance supply chain

Kerneos is committed to a high level of excellence with respect to its supply chain. Every day, for each order, Kerneos monitors the delivered service level, a demanding indicator measuring the combination of service acceptance (delivery date commitment) and service execution (effective timely delivery). Over time, Kerneos achieves at least 95% score for this indicator illustrating reliable logistics systems. Data can be shared with customers and dialogue is encouraged to achieve better forecasting and understanding of order flow as well as the impact of these parameters on business performance.

Other services provide ways to optimise the supply chain with customers. Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), Service Level Agreement (SLA) and original logistic solutions can be investigated upon request.

> Sharing and developing expertiseAs the pioneer in calcium aluminate technology, Kerneos has developed strong local and central teams in order to assist customers with optimised applications, to develop new products, and to participate in problem solving such as managing issues linked to interactions with other raw materials.

This support is provided by:

A network of technical development managers who support customers in the development of new products and in the scientific understanding of their applications,

An expertise in and access to many complex test methods as well as sophisticated diagnostic and analytical techniques through its laboratories and plants worldwide,

The availability of products with well defined and harmonised characteristics from multiple plants around the world.

QUALITY, PROXIMITY AND RELIABILITY
