VITCAS Refractory Castable 1700 is ideal for industrial purposes and home foundry projects, particularly for lining a metal drum to create a small-scale crucible furnace. With its ability to withstand temperatures up to 1700°C (3090°F), it is even suitable for melting cast iron, ensuring excellent performance and durability in high-temperature applications.
VITCAS Refractory Castable 1700 offers superior quality, performance and longevity for all high-temperature applications. VITCAS Castable Refractory tolerates extreme heat up to 1700°C (3090°F), making it ideal for a range of industrial applications such as furnace linings and lining barrels, as well as a great choice for home foundry projects including lining metal drums to create small-scale crucible furnaces. Its high-temperature tolerance makes it suitable even for melting cast iron. Its unique formulation ensures excellent resistance to abrasion, erosion, and chemical attacks, guaranteeing long-lasting durability.
Key Features:
Exceptional Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 1700°C (3090°F).
Superior Durability: Resistant to abrasion, erosion, and chemical attack.
Versatile: Perfect for furnace linings, kilns, and incinerators.
Convenient Packaging: Available in a 25 kg dry mix bucket for easy mixing.
Easy to Use: Simply mix with water to achieve a workable consistency.
Applications:
Furnace Linings: Ideal for lining furnace interiors, providing excellent insulation and structural protection at high temperatures.
Incinerators: Withstands high heat and chemical exposure, making it perfect for incinerator linings.
Cast Iron Work: Its structural strength and heat resistance make it suitable for cast iron work where durability is key.
Home Foundry Projects: Great for hobbyists creating crucible furnaces, moulds, or linings for melting metals or glass.
Instructions for Use:
Prepare the area: Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
Mixing: Pour the dry refractory mix into a clean container. Gradually add 2 litres of water per 25 kg bucket.
Consistency: Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth, workable consistency-neither too runny nor too thick.
Application: Use a trowel or formwork (such as a plastic pipe) to shape and apply the mixture as needed.
Drying: Allow the mixture to air dry for 24-48 hours, depending on thickness and ambient conditions.
Final Steps: Once dried, carefully remove any formwork or shuttering, if used.
Hi, Is it possible for me to order just 10kg, I've already used 2x 25kg containers and am just a little short for finishing my project. I don't really want to order another 25kg, the project has already gone way over budget.
Thanks, Andrew
No, the VITCAS Refractory Castable Grade 1700 is only available in a 25kg bucket.
