ABM Week is Latin America's leading technical, scientific, and business event focused on the metallurgy, materials, and mining sectors. Held annually by the Brazilian Association of Metallurgy, Materials, and Mining (ABM), the event brings together professionals, researchers, and companies to discuss the latest innovations and challenges facing the industry.

It will be a unique opportunity to share knowledge, network, and catch up on the latest trends. 

Advanced solutions for high-temperature materials - Come by stand #50 and meet our experts and leadership team.

We look forward to sharing ideas on how our specialty chemicals can deliver essential performance to the steel industry

• Sol-gel binders - Levasil^®colloidal silica improves agglomeration of iron ore and works as an inorganic binder for high-temperature materials.
• Wetting agents - Petro^® and Ethomeen^® surfactants imprve mixing and blending of dry additives.
• Flow-control additives - Alcosperse^® dispersants enable optimal mixes for castables, monolithics, spraying and gunning applications by improving dispersion and flow of inroganic components.
• Rheology modifiers and green strength enhancers - Finnfix^® and Bermocoll^® cellulose ethers control formulation stability and rheology in refractory applications while providing green strength for demolding and further processing.
• Set control agents - Dissolvine^® chelating agents delay setting by binding metal ions.
