Insulation & refractory supply for Durban

Durban is the busiest container port in sub-Saharan Africa and the centre of KwaZulu-Natal’s industry: chemical and fuel storage in the South Basin, pulp, paper and sugar mills along the coast, and aluminium and heavy minerals at nearby Richards Bay. Humid subtropical summers make vapour-tight cold insulation essential.
