Reliable. Responsive. Refractory.
About us
OUTSTANDING QUALITY, PROVEN TECHNOLOGY, & CUSTOMER-FOCUSED SERVICE FOR 50 YEARS. A domestic leader in supplying high-quality engineered refractory solutions for over half a century, United Refractories Co. has always been in the business of out serving the competition. One of the last family owned & operated refractory manufacturers in the United States, URC comes from humble beginnings but has quietly become the secret weapon of contractors, installers, and end users in the know. When you choose URC, you’re not choosing to buy a product data sheet that meets a spec, you’re not choosing the next supplier on the list who can hit the timeline, you’re choosing a committed partnership that you’ll be hard-pressed to match in the top-heavy refractory world today. WHAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT, WITHOUT THE HEADACHES. At URC, our best-in-class “4U” service model puts the customer’s needs exactly where they belong – at the top of our priority list. With tailor-made solutions, strategically placed manufacturing facilities in the Midwest and Southeast, and our unmatched network of fully stocked distribution centers, we know how to listen, plan, and anticipate customers’ expectations. As a privately held, midsize manufacturer, we have all the latest refractory technologies, all the highest-quality raw materials, and all the industry-leading ISO-certified manufacturing processes you’ll find with larger outfits. What you won’t find is a lack of agility & responsiveness, the cumbersome weight of corporate inertia, and the cold, impersonal service you’ll find dealing with the competition. Rather than giving our customers all the reasons why we have to say “no,” we are laser-focused on figuring out how to say “yes.” At URC, our top priority is stakeholders, not shareholders. Come see the difference for yourself. Come see what we can do – 4U. www.URC4U.com

🛠️🔥 Boost Efficiency with Gunned Plastic Refractory Installations 🔥🛠️ Gunned Plastic refractory installations offer a powerful solution for high-performance industries, providing numerous advantages for demanding environments. Here’s why they’re a smart option: 🔹 Faster Installation & Dryout - URC Gunnable Plastics allow for quicker, more efficient application over traditional hand-held ramming methods, reducing labor and speeding up project timelines. Because of their unique bonding system, plastic refractories require no specified curing time. Dryout can begin immediately after installation. 🔹 Enhanced Consistency - With URC's OPTIMIZER, custom gunning equipment, and expert personnel on-site, gunnable plastic refractories can achieve uniform density, ensuring consistent quality and performance across the installation. 🔹 Improved Performance - Designed to withstand harsh environments, high temperatures, mechanical stress, and metal penetration, these materials deliver enhanced durability, minimizing the need for repairs and prolonging service life. 🔹 Cost-Effective Solution - Reduced installation time, lower labor cost, and minimized waste result in significant cost savings for companies, making gunnable plastics a cost-competitive option without compromising quality. Choosing URC Gunned Plastic refractories can optimize your next shutdown, enhancing reliability, and driving down maintenance costs.

Summertime temperatures regularly climb above 100°F across the United States each year. Those temperatures can wreak havoc on a #monolithic #refractory installation if you don’t properly prepare. At United Refractories Co., we understand that a comprehensive scope of work goes beyond material selection and includes a full analysis of the installation method, the timeline requirements, and the jobsite conditions. Recently, we answered a call to supply a multiple truckload emergency order of #monolithics to an #aluminum customer. The installation had to be completed in a facility where multiple #reverb #furnaces remained in operation and temperatures exceeded 130°F over the course of the job. By fully customizing the set times of each product needed for the repairs, we were able to pump over 60 tons of monolithics without a single blocked hose. If you’d like more information on how to reduce the timeline of your next outage or increase the length of your next campaign, reach out to our team today --> SALES@URC4U.COM HERE. 4U.
