Low-Wettability Precast Shapes Engineered to Resist Copper Oxide Penetration
Copper launders handling molten copper demand refractories with low wettability and resistance to copper oxide attack. Sharadaa’s Low Cement Castable Precast Shapes (PCF 10SC / PCF 35SC) are formulated to resist copper penetration and maintain dimensional integrity throughout the casting process.
Copper smelting and refining operations require refractory materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and corrosive molten metal environments.
Sharadaa Ceramics offers specialized refractory solutions for launders and metal transfer channels used in copper processing facilities.
Precast prefired refractory shapes such as PCF 10SC and PCF 35SC provide excellent resistance to molten copper corrosion and mechanical wear. These materials ensure smooth metal flow while maintaining dimensional stability in continuous production environments.
Sharadaa refractory solutions help copper producers achieve improved durability in metal transfer systems, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced operational reliability, supporting efficient copper smelting and refining processes.

Case Studies
Product introduction was carried out in a 15 Mt ladle which undergoes frequent pouring and casting.
It completed 20 ladles of circulation as compared to single ladle usage with bottom pouring sleeves
It has also been developed for the higher capacity 30 Mt ladle and is under circulation.
