Imerys showcases its sustainability commitments to the Refractories community at UNITECR 2022

2022-03-17

Mar. 16, 2022 - As a historical member of the American Ceramics Society, Imerys is a proud sponsor of this year’s UNITECR 2022 17th Biennial Worldwide Congress on Refractories taking place in March in Chicago. Imerys team members are presenting on wide range of innovative material solutions for refractories across four technical papers.


At this year’s event Imerys is collaborating jointly with their partners across the industry, contributing to four technical papers. Imerys' Science & Technology Director for Refractories, Christoph WOHRMEYER is presenting a paper dedicated to MagArmour product and its use in monolithic materials. Other team members are co-authors on a diverse range of topics & applications including increasing understanding of the MULCOA range in monolithic materials, ZIONIC Stabilised Zirconia in thermal shock applications and MagArmour reducing oxidation in MgO-C applications. 


Scot GRADDICK, Customer Application Engineer, is the chairperson for six individual technical sessions during the conference over the course of three days - Raw Materials, Steelmaking (Mag-Chrome brick), Steelmaking (Dry Vibe / Ramming Mixes), Iron Making, and Steelmaking (Argon Plugs and Slidegate).


As part of the event, Imerys is co-sponsoring the Women in Science and engineering session with Allied Minerals as well as the Young Professionals event. Through this sponsorship, Imerys is keen to demonstrate its ambition to welcome more women and new talents to its teams.


Philippe BOURG, Senior Vice President of Imerys’ Refractory, Abrasives and Construction Business Area comments “This year’s UNITCER is very special as it is our first opportunity to meet again in person with our customers and partners since the last edition in 2019. We have much to highlight and share: our talented refractory scientists and engineers are presenting their latest technical papers highlighting Imerys’ commitment and dedication to new sustainable products for our customers worldwide. Nancy BUNT’s testimonial towards Women in Science and Engineering will be another highlight as she inspires so many to follow in her footsteps. And last but not least, I will be delighted to meet and network with young professionals as we seek to showcase the refractory industry as a purposeful place to work."
