I can once again confirm that Saint-Gobain Refrax® ProGUN 80 shotcrete is highly effective in protecting the tube wall of the combustion chamber in our EfW on the Isle of Man.
The first application was made more than six years ago, and we have experienced no problems with the product. As we have seen together, the overall condition of the lining is still excellent.
Using Refrax® ProgGUN 80 has proved to be very effective for us as it protects the pipe wall and eliminates the need for the regular, extensive repairs previously necessary when using other products. I highly recommend Refrax® ProGUN 80 shotcrete, and we are happy to have Saint-Gobain as our material supplier.
