Refractories
- Refractories are material having high melting points, with
properties that make them suitable to act as heat-resisting barriers between
high and low temperature zones. Refractories are inorganic nonmetallic material
which can withstand high temperature without undergoing physical or chemical
changes while remaining in contact with molten slag, metal and gases.
Raw
Materials - Principal raw materials used in the production of refractories
are: oxides of silicon, aluminum, magnesium, calcium and zirconium and some
non-oxide refractories like alumina,carbides, nitrides, borides, silicates and
graphite.
Uses -
Refractories are used by metallurgy industry for flow control and also in the
internal linings of furnaces, kilns, reactors and other vessels for holding and
transporting metal and slag. In non-metallurgical industries, the refractories
are mostly installed on fired heaters, hydrogen reformers, ammonia primary and
secondary reformers, cracking furnaces, utility boilers, catalytic cracking units,
coke calciner, sulfur furnaces, air heaters, ducting, stacks, etc.The Slide
Gate Refractories Plant was started in the year 1984. Indo Flogates was a joint
venture with Flogates Ltd, UK and an exclusive Indian Licensee of Flocon Slide
Gate Systems, developed by US Steel Corporation through their wholly-owned

Outlook - Global
steel demand remain week due to uncertainty surrounding trade policies,
volatility
in the
financial markets and China's deceleration however Indian economy provides
domestic
demand for
wide range of ongoing infrastructure projects which are likely to support
growth in steel
demand
above 7% in both 2019 and 2020. India already the second largest steel producer
in the
world
after china is targeting for 300MT/annum capacity by 2030 from 100MT/annum now
due to
rise in
per capita steel consumption.
Valuation - IFGL has
reduced debt significantly and now it is a net zero debt company and book
value has
increased from Rs.70 in FY13 to 220 in FY19. IFGL has closed FY19 with 946
crore of
