Cost savings are the main reason for adding stainless steel fibers. In all areas of high thermal and mechanical shock, fibers will at least double refractory life. Fiber costs up to 50% lower than comparable products. Our low cost but high performance melt extract steel fibers provide the quickest payback. Our quality product costs substantially less because we produce our molten steel and spun fiber on-line in one fully integrated manufacturing plant. We are able to keep fiber manufacturing costs to a minimum, which is reflected in the very competitive prices.
