Anti-Pipping Compound (APC)
Anti-Pipping Compound (APC) is a specialized refractory compound employed in steelmaking operations to mitigate the risk of nozzle clogging and metal oxidation during casting processes. Applied to ladle nozzles and tundish openings, APC forms a protective barrier that prevents the adhesion of slag and metal droplets, ensuring unimpeded metal flow and reducing the likelihood of casting defects. With its ability to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, APC contributes to the smooth and efficient operation of casting systems, enhancing productivity and product quality.
