With more than 80 years of experience in the market, IBAR presents its complete portfolio of solutions in refractory materials in Metallurgy. The solutions include Aluminous and Silico-aluminous Bricks, concrete and refractory mortars, ceramic fibers, rock wool and specialized services aimed at installation, demolition, drying and controlled cooling for the optimization of industrial processes.
The company demonstrates to the market how refractory materials technology can be a direct ally of productivity, durability and reduction of operating costs.
Among the markets served with refractory solutions are steel, foundry, cement, glass, ceramics, boilers, industrial furnaces, petrochemical, steel, metallurgy and energy industries. Solutions include products that are resistant to extreme temperatures and highly aggressive environments.
One of IBAR’s great differentials is its fully verticalized production, with self-sufficiency in raw materials and industrial processes, which ensures greater quality control, regularity in supplies and flexibility to develop customized solutions according to customer needs.
REFRACTORIES FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS
IBAR highlights its wide range of products and services aimed at high-performance refractory solutions. Formed and unformed refractories are available in different compositions for the most varied thermal and chemical requirements. Rock wool and ceramic fiber are thermal insulators that combine lightness, resistance and energy efficiency.
Complementing the products are specialized application, drying, heating and controlled cooling services, which add technical and operational value to customers. IBAR’s products have a high competitive advantage thanks to the total control of its production chain, with inputs coming from its own Magnesita mine in Brumado, Bahia. The extraction of the essential raw material for the refractories is done with environmental responsibility and guarantees the quality and traceability of the final products.
In addition to the logistical advantage, verticalization is directly reflected in the results for customers, who receive products with greater consistency of performance, less variation in quality and longer operational useful life, critical factors for severe thermal applications that require total reliability.
In addition, IBAR continuously invests in research and development, anticipating trends in the global refractory market and offering materials with specific properties to resist thermal shock, abrasion, chemical corrosion and other challenges typical of modern industrial processes.
ABOUT IBAR
Founded more than eight decades ago, IBAR has consolidated itself as the Brazilian representative in the development of advanced solutions in refractory materials technology, serving the most demanding industrial markets. The company operates prominently in the supply of refractory bricks and concretes, mortars, custom parts, rock wool and ceramic fiber, among other materials applied mainly in heat treatment and heat containment processes.
IBAR operates with complete integration between mining, beneficiation, production and distribution. This allows the company to have autonomy, security of supply and customization capacity, in addition to maintaining a constant technological evolution of its materials.
Headquartered in Poá (SP), IBAR has branches strategically located in the cities of Joinville (SC), Porto Alegre (RS) and Belo Horizonte (MG), ensuring logistical agility and technical support close to the main industrial centers in the country. The mining arm, IBAR Nordeste (Brumado/BA), is responsible for the extraction and processing of Magnesita, reinforcing the company’s commitment to excellence in raw materials and sustainability of the production chain.
