Stein Mag CSD quality is a new super duty form of Stein Mag CK. The use of new high purity raw materials combined with a special high firing technique has allowed us to produce a Magnesite Chrome Refractory with greatly increased refractoriness under load and volume stability. Its resistance to oxides and slags is much increased and the spalling resistance is greatly improved. MgO 68.7%
