Sigma E is intended for aluminium and aluminium alloys as well as for zinc and zinc alloys melting in fuel-fired and electric furnaces.
Sigma HT is intended for melting copper-based alloys in fuel furnaces.
BNI, due to its shape, provides high resistance to flame attack and offers enhanced performance in heavy duty applications such as aluminium scrap melting and other fuel fired applications.
