Pour Basins

pour basins provide long life and thermal insulation for your molten metal pouring needs. Rex Materials has developed a family of fused silica products. was specifically developed for pour basin applications. Pour basins can be ordered with a special BN coating to make them nonwetting to aluminum and other metals. Long life, thermal shock resistance and thermal insulation are the key characteristics of pour basins.

Pour Basins can be manufactured to your exact specifications or our team of engineers can design one for you.

Features:	Benefits:
Low coefficient of thermal expansion	Excellent thermal shock resistance & dimensional stability
Low thermal mass and conductivity	Thermal insulation, minimizes temperature loss
Chemical inertness	Long life, corrosion resistance
High hardness	Long life, wear resistance
Unique cast technology	Cost effective, complex shape capability

represents a family of high purity fused silica materials tailored to achieve optimum properties required for molten metal applications. products are precision cast into a wide variety of sizes and shapes, from small and intricate to extremely large, including shapes with complex internal features – typically without the need for costly machining.

is made from fused silica that has been sintered to a high temperature. Today they are used in many non-ferrous applications, including but not limited to, tapblocks, trough liners, filter bowls, flue port blocks, pour basins, spouts, control pins, dipping ladles, and stalk tubes. Rex Materials' ability to supply quality shapes cost-effectively enables you to use parts in applications where ordinarily fused silica products have been too expensive.

pour basins are made with a unique process allowing us to be very cost effective. pour basins come in sizes up to four feet wide. Standard or custom designed pour basins are available.
