Abstract
A method for producing a feeder element is described. The method includes (a) producing composite particles having a particle size of less than 2 mm in a matrix encapsulation method with the following steps: (a1) producing droplets of a suspension from at least (i) one or more refractory substances, (ii) one or more of fillers having a bulk density in the range from 10 to 350 g/L, expandants, and pyrolysable fillers, (iii) as continuous phase, a solidifiable liquid, (a2) solidifying the droplets with the refractory substance(s) and density-reducing substance(s) are encapsulated therein, (a3) treating the hardened droplets to form composite particles, (b) mixing the composite particles with a binder and, optionally, further constituents to give a feeder composition, (c) shaping and curing the feeder composition to give a feeder element. Also described are a method for producing refractory composite particles and the use of the composite particles.
