To meet the needs of the metallurgy and refractory industry, increasingly sophisticated solutions must be developed.

FMC Foret is present in these two industries, cooperating in the innovation and development of new products and applications.

Liquid Sodium Silicate is used mainly as a binder for molding sands. Both Liquid Sodium Silicate and Liquid Potassium Silicate are used as binders in the manufacture of electrodes.

In refractory mixes, Metasilicate is used as to provide adhesive and acid or high temperature resistant properties.

Phosphoric Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide are used in metal processing. Phosphoric Acid is used for metal phosphatizing and aluminum polishing, while Hydrogen Peroxide is used in pickling, polishing and burnishing as well as in bath purification/recovery.
