Hex metal refractory lining is a hexagonal cellular mesh grating specifically designed for reinforcing both linings and flooring. The hex steel mesh acts as a surface framework to hold cement or refractory in position, and relieves stress in the lining's upper crust, which prevents spalling and cracking. As a result of hex metal's strength and unique design, abrasion and corrosion are retarded and refractory life is significantly extended. Even hot gaseous substances cannot erode the refractory because they are reflected away from the surface by the metal cellular grid.

The hexagonal hex steel has increased its fixing power with the lining material, hence effectively strengthening self connecting property of the lining material. It can keep the heat insulation layer from peeling off and raise the fastness of lining material.

Since hexmesh's flexibility allows it to be rolled, it easily conforms to circular shapes. It is ideal for lining ducts, furnaces, reactor vessels, cyclones, flue gas lines and other high temperature equipment of virtually any shape.

For refractories: 
The flexibility, high strength and erosion resistant characteristics of hex mesh make it an excellent choice for refractory linings in furnaces, reactors, cyclones, ducts and flues.
For floors: 
Hex mesh provides long term protection for armor applications inside industrial floors. Specifically, loading docks, ramps, high traffic aisles for forklifts and trucks. Hot floors for foundries, forge shops and steel mills. Refuse and recycle disposal plant floors and almost anywhere floors are subject to severe impact and rolling loads. All will benefit with hex mesh.

Hot gaseous substances can't erode the refractory because they are reflected away from the surface by the metal honeycomb- shaped grid.
