Electrode paste

Electrode paste

Electrode paste is intended for the production of continuous self-baking electrodes of electrothermal furnaces of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy and chemical industry. It is used in the production of ferroalloys, calcium carbide, phosphorus, abrasive materials. Main raw materials for the anode paste production are gas- or electrically calcined anthracite from Gorlovskoye deposit, artificial graphite and coal pitch.

The paste is produced in the form of briquettes or cylinders depending on customer requirements.
