Elkem Carbon

Elkem Carbon graphitised cathode blocks provide the basis for a long pot life and stable operation. The high density and wear resistant block is produced with carefully selected raw materials prepared with Elkem Carbon’s proprietary technology.

ELSEAL^® is Elkem Carbon’s high quality cathode ramming paste product range. The products have proven performance in all reduction cell technologies, and are well suited for any installation method.

The flexible production setup of Elkem Carboderivados allows the company to meet the market needs quickly and deliver tailor-made products to its customers. Main products are liquid and spheroidal pitches, aromatic oils and naphthalene.

Elkem ELTAP™ products have proven performance as linings in furnaces producing silicon, ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, and as repair pastes to furnaces producing ferrochrome and ferromanganese. The ELTAP™ product range contributes to furnace linings that last for 10-20 years, stable furnace operation as well as increased load on small silicon furnaces. 

Elkem Carbon has developed a variety of electrode paste qualities for use in smelting processes world-wide. The properties of the baked electrode for a specific process requires a tailor made electrode paste to suit the conditions of the operating environment. This is crucial to ensure a successful operation.

The use of ELTAP™ products contributes to controlled tapping of metal and closure of taphole, increased lifetime of materials due to high oxidation resistance and less taphole work.
