Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castable Refactory

Description of Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castable

Low Cement Non-Penetrating Refractory Castables are unshaped refractory materials designed for applications requiring high resistance to chemical attack and penetration. Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castables are characterized by a low cement content and resistance to penetration by molten metal or slag. The reduced cement content helps minimize the formation of the calcium aluminate phase, which is susceptible to chemical attack and penetration by molten metal or slag.

Low-cement, non-permeable castables are customizable, allowing the selection of a suitable low-cement, non-permeable castable for a specific application. You can contact us to customize LCM non-permeable refractory castables from factors such as operating temperature, chemical exposure, mechanical stress and permeation resistance to ensure optimum performance and durability.

Characteristics of Fireramo low cement non-permeable refractory castables

Permeability

Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castables are formulated to resist penetration by molten metal or slag. They have excellent non-wetting properties, which means they do not readily react with or absorb molten metal. This property helps prevent penetration and erosion of the refractory lining.

High strength

Despite their low cement content, low-cemented, non-permeable castables have high mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. They can withstand mechanical stress and thermal expansion and contraction in high temperature applications.

Chemical resistance

Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castables are highly resistant to chemical attack by molten metals, slag and other corrosive substances. They can withstand the harsh environments of metal refining, steelmaking and other industrial processes involving molten metals or aggressive chemical agents.

Thermal shock resistance

Low-cement, non-permeable castables typically have good thermal shock resistance and can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or spalling. This property is particularly important in cyclic heating and cooling applications.

Versatility

Low cement non-permeable castables can be used in a variety of industries including steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, cement and petrochemicals. They can be used in ladle linings, intermediate ladle linings, furnace linings and other applications where resistance to permeation and chemical attack is critical.

Easy to install

Low cement non-permeable castables are usually supplied as pre-mixed dry powders or ready-to-use wet mixes. They can be installed using standard casting or gunning techniques. The low cement content contributes to improved flow and ease of installation.

Applications for Fireramo low cement non-permeable refractory castables

Ladle linings

Low-cement non-permeable castables are used as linings for ladles, which are containers for the transportation and pouring of molten metal. Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castables have excellent resistance to penetration and erosion by molten metal, slag and other corrosive substances.

Intermediate Ladle Lining

The intermediate ladle is an intermediate vessel used to control the flow and distribution of molten metal in the continuous casting process. Low Cement Non-Penetrating Castables are used as intermediate ladle linings to prevent penetration and erosion by molten metal and slag.

Furnace Lining

Low Cement Non-Permeable Castables are used as linings in all types of furnaces, including those used in steelmaking, non-ferrous metal processing and other high temperature applications. They offer excellent resistance to chemical attack and penetration of molten metal and slag.

Pipe and flue linings

Low cement non-permeable castables are used as pipe and flue linings to resist penetration and erosion by hot gases and corrosive combustion by-products. They provide thermal insulation and chemical resistance in high temperature environments.

Incinerators and waste-to-energy plants

Low cement non-permeable castables are suitable for the construction of incinerators and waste-to-energy plants to resist penetration and erosion by combustion gases and corrosive substances. They help maintain the integrity of the refractory lining and improve the overall performance of the system.

Petrochemical industry

Low cement non-permeable castables are used in a variety of equipment in the petrochemical industry, including reactors, vessels and piping systems. They resist chemical attack and penetration of corrosive substances encountered in the petrochemical process.

Aluminum Industry

Low Cement Non-Permeable Castables are used for the lining of various equipment in the aluminum industry, such as crucibles, ladles and furnaces. They resist penetration and erosion by molten aluminum and other corrosive substances, ensuring the service life and performance of the refractory lining.

Cement industry

Low-cement non-permeable castables are used in the cement industry for the lining of rotary kilns, preheaters and cyclones. They resist chemical attack and penetration by hot gases and alkaline compounds in cement production.
