The new castable product, called Si-Enhanced Anti-Creep High-Aluminum Castable (SEAC HAC), is created by adding silicon and other minerals to the traditional raw material such as bauxite so that the finished product has the characteristic of much lower probability of creep, which is a gradual change of shape under stress during high-temperature industrial processes, for heating furnaces at steel mills and other industrial plants.
On September 29, 2009, the Science & Technology Bureau of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province reviewed the testing results of Gengsheng's SEAC HAC and more than 10 industrial material experts from regional universities such as Wuhan Science & Technology University, Henan Science & Technology University, Zhengzhou University, and Henan Space Institute, as well as engineers from Shanghai Baosteel at the product evaluation event acknowledged the potential applications of this new product. Gengsheng has filed a patent for the SEAC HAC, which has also been confirmed to meet the Q/HGS 015-2009 national standards as published by China's National Refractory Product Quality Inspection Center.
"Gengsheng's pipeline for new products has never been stronger, thanks to our steady effort to ratchet up our R&D," said Mr. Shunqing Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Gengsheng. "After the introduction of our light castables as an energy-saving back lining in the industrial furnace, we are now announcing this more significant innovation, which has been accepted for trial use by four major steel companies in China. Our SEAC HAC can extend the lifespan of industrial furnaces by up to 30% and it has much wider application and greater market potential than all of our previous innovations, as high-aluminum castables currently make up almost half of China's $5 billion monolithic refractory market. Our strategy is to increase our marketing effort for this new product at industry shows, through positive feedback from our existing customers and with the endorsement of research institutes."
