Refractory applications: key industries steel, cement, lime, glass
Refractory materials are used in the steel, cement and lime industries, in the production of glass and
nonferrous metals (e.g. copper or aluminium), in environmental and energy technology as well as in the
chemical and petrochemical industries. Refractories are indispensable to all industrial processes involving
high temperatures in excess of 1,200°C. As refractory linings RHI products ensure that a wide range of
aggregates (e.g. steel converters, steel ladles, cement rotary kilns, glass tanks) resist extreme thermal,
mechanical and chemical stress.

Sustainable management
RHI stands for sustainable management in all processes and customer requirements. On the one hand, sustainability means responsible management and control of the company keyed to long-term value creation. On the other hand, sustainability refers to dealing carefully with nature and raw materials and to assuming social responsibility and the responsibility towards society. RHI attaches great importance to open and transparent stakeholder management. For RHI, it includes establishing and fostering good relationships and contact with customers, suppliers, investors, employees, politicians, local communities, the media, social partners as well as international organisations and interest groups in the long term.
