INDUSTRIES
Power
Boiler systems demand reliability. We support power facilities with precast burner tiles, floor blocks, and Emisshield coatings that enhance heat transfer and extend refractory life. Our thermography services help detect wear before failure—reducing downtime and fuel costs.
INDUSTRIES
Heat Treat
Consistent thermal performance is critical. We provide precast burner blocks, hearth components, piers, and Emisshield coatings to support uniform heating and cycle stability. Fiber and cast solutions help improve insulation, reduce energy use, and extend furnace uptime.
INDUSTRIES
Cement & Lime
High-heat zones, such as riser ducts and cooler hoods, require resilient linings. Our precast burner tiles, inlet/outlet shapes, and Emisshield applications enhance performance under cycling and abrasion conditions. Modular shapes streamline installation and reduce operational delays.
INDUSTRIES
Aluminum
Molten metal systems demand precision linings. We supply precast furnace lids, riser blocks, and tundish covers that resist oxidation and maintain shape. Emisshield boosts radiant efficiency, while fiber linings and custom fab services enhance thermal reliability.
INDUSTRIES
Iron & Steel
Reheat and ladle systems are prone to extreme wear. We offer precast tundish furniture, tube seals, and wall and floor blocks designed to withstand high loads and repeated cycling. Emisshield coatings support heat uniformity, while thermography helps plan maintenance before failures occur.
INDUSTRIES
Boilers
We support boiler systems with refractory materials, precast shapes, and burner tiles engineered for high thermal cycling. Emisshield coatings enhance combustion efficiency, while thermographic diagnostics pinpoint wear zones—helping to reduce unplanned outages and fuel consumption.
INDUSTRIES
Crematories
Crematories operate under constant heat stress. We offer custom precast shapes, burner tiles, and Emisshield applications that enhance performance and extend service life. Lightweight fibers and castables enable faster heat-up and improved thermal insulation.
INDUSTRIES
Ethanol
Burner doors, boiler plugs, and burner tiles are common wear points in ethanol plants. Our precast components and Emisshield coatings enhance durability and radiant efficiency, while our fabrication services facilitate the retrofitting or replacement of high-wear zones with minimal downtime.
INDUSTRIES
Biomass
Biomass combustion presents challenges related to abrasion and slag. Our precast burner blocks and floor tiles are engineered for durability when used with various fuels. Emisshield coatings enhance thermal efficiency and thermography services aid in optimizing refractory maintenance cycles.
INDUSTRIES
Glass
Thermal shock and chemical attack pose challenges to refractory linings in glass production. We offer precast shapes and Emisshield coatings engineered to withstand aggressive environments and improve radiant heat performance. Fiber modules help insulate and support temperature consistency.
INDUSTRIES
Kilns
Rotary and shuttle kilns demand precision linings. We supply precast car bottoms, piers, and hearth blocks to handle thermal cycling and loading stress. Emisshield boosts energy efficiency, and modular refractory systems simplify maintenance and replacement schedules.
INDUSTRIES
Thermal Processing
Industrial furnaces, dryers, and ovens require high-performance linings. Our solutions include precast modules, custom fab, and Emisshield coatings to optimize thermal uniformity and throughput. Thermography identifies problem zones to reduce energy loss and downtime.

Who is Chase Nedrow Industries?
We work with iron, steel, aluminum, petrochemical, refining, glass, cement, ethanol/biofuels, power generation, and other high-temperature processing industries across North America.
What is precast refractory and why use it?
Precast refractory shapes are engineered, molded, and cured off-site, allowing for faster installation, higher quality control, and reduced downtime compared to on-site casting.
What fabrication capabilities do you offer?
We provide custom metal fabrication for refractory support structures, burner components, ductwork, and other industrial applications—designed and built to meet your exact specifications.
What materials do you sell?
We stock and supply a wide range of refractory materials, insulation products, castables, firebrick, anchors, and related installation supplies.
What types of air tools do you carry?
We offer high-quality industrial pneumatic tools and accessories for refractory, demolition, and construction work, including chipping hammers, rivet busters, and needle scalers.
What is thermography and how can it help my operation?
Thermography uses infrared imaging to detect hot spots, insulation breakdowns, or structural weaknesses before they cause equipment failure—allowing for preventative maintenance and reduced unplanned downtime.
How does Chase Nedrow work with Emisshield?
Chase Nedrow Industries is the exclusive North American distributor and certified installer for Emisshield® High Emissivity Coatings. In addition to Emisshield services, we provide precast refractory solutions, custom fabrication, material sales, industrial air tools, and thermography inspection services.
What is Emisshield?
Emisshield® is a NASA-developed high-emissivity coating technology that increases heat transfer efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, lowers emissions, and extends equipment life in high-temperature environments.
How does Emisshield work?
The coating improves surface emissivity, allowing heat to be absorbed and re-radiated more effectively. This results in faster heat-up times, lower stack temperatures, reduced energy use, and improved throughput.
What are the benefits of using Emisshield?
Reduced fuel consumption and operating costs
Increased production efficiency
Lower NOx and CO₂ emissions
Extended refractory and equipment life
Potential for process debottlenecking
Where has Emisshield been installed?
Chase Nedrow has installed Emisshield in dryers, fired heaters, thermal oxidizers, reformers, boilers, furnaces, incinerators, and other high-temperature equipment throughout North America.
What is the installation process?
We manage inspection, surface prep, application, and curing—often during scheduled shutdowns to minimize production impact.
How long does Emisshield last?
Service life varies by conditions, but many installations remain effective for 5+ years.
