DSF enabling green technologies

2023-03-01

Mar. 1, 2023 - DSF have a wide role to play in decarbonisation. In the glass industry we are working with glassmakers, furnace designers and research organisations on materials for hybrid furnaces, furnaces using alternative fuels such as hydrogen and oxy-methane melters. Bonded refractories manufactured at DSF with proven track records are already being used in glass melter crowns and superstructure, with other novel refractory compositions in development.

DSF are a critical supplier to the float glass industry for solar panel production and the fibreglass industry producing wind turbines and building insulation.

Refractory materials are available from DSF for Lithium and Nickel production for the battery market and new materials are being tested for use in autothermal reformer linings that will make blue hydrogen.

DSF are part of the solution for enabling green technologies and dynamic refractory development is essential to the decarbonisation of all the energy intensive industries.
