Calderys at ALUEXPO 2025: Introducing ALKON® FD Fast Drying Technology

From September 18 to 20, 2025, our team will be present at the 9th ALUEXPO International Aluminium Technology, Machinery and Products Trade Fair, held at the Istanbul Expo Center in Istanbul.

Join us on booth n°H2-D160 to exchange with our Aluminum experts!

As a trusted refractory partner to the aluminum sector, Calderys is excited to highlight its proven solutions designed to increase efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in aluminum production. We are particularly proud to showcase ALKON® FD (Fast Dry), our innovative range of monolithic refractories engineered for faster, safer, and more efficient furnace lining installations.

ALKON® FD sets a new standard for Aluminum producers.

The Calderys Fast Dry technology, a specially designed refractory formulation, allows for reduced drying and heating-up times, allowing furnaces to return to service faster.

  • Robust performance: ALKON® FD combines high refractory strength with simplified drying, ensuring durability and operational reliability during thermal cycling.
  • Energy and cost efficiency: by minimizing downtime and optimizing heating schedules, ALKON® FD supports lower energy consumption and reduces operating costs.
  • Complete furnace solution: the ALKON® FD range can be applied consistently across all zones, delivering uniform performance and easier installation logistics.

At ALUEXPO 2025, Calderys will demonstrate how its refractory expertise helps aluminum producers meet today’s challenges: from maximizing furnace availability to achieving energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
