The global Environment-Friendly Anhydrous Taphole Clay market size is predicted to grow from US$ 702 million in 2025 to US$ 902 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Taphole clay is a functional refractory material used to seal and protect the iron outlet, and its quality directly determines whether the blast furnace can operate safely and stably. At present, it can be divided into two categories: water taphole clay and anhydrous taphole clay. The former is used in small and medium-sized blast furnaces with low top pressure and low degree of enhanced smelting, while the latter is used in large and medium-sized blast furnaces with high top pressure and high degree of enhanced smelting.The composition of environmentally friendly waterless taphole clay can be divided into two parts - refractory aggregate and binder. Refractory aggregate refers to refractory raw materials such as corundum, mullite, and pyroxene, as well as modified materials such as coke and mica. The binder is organic materials such as water or tar pitch and phenolic resin, and SiC is also added, Si3N4? Expansion agents and additives, etc. The aggregate is composed of a matrix with a certain particle size and weight, and is mixed with a binder to give it a certain degree of plasticity, so that it can be used to block the molten iron by hitting the iron mouth with a mud cannon.At present, waterless taphole clay is mainly used. Initially, tar was used as a binder for waterless taphole clay, but tar would produce smoke during use, deteriorate the working environment, and affect the physical and mental health of workers. Japan, the United States, Europe and other countries have developed waterless iron gun mud with resin as a binder. This type of gun mud not only eliminates the environmental pollution caused by tar as a binder, but also quickly hardens, reducing the unit consumption of gun mud (for example, the consumption of iron gun mud per ton of Chiba 4500 m3 blast furnace in Japan is only 0.25 kg/t), greatly improving the performance of waterless taphole clay.
