Refractory Castable Grade 1700°C

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:

1. Prepare the area: Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
2. Mixing: Pour the dry refractory mix into a clean container. Gradually add 2 litres of water per 25 kg bucket.
3. Consistency: Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth, workable consistency-neither too runny nor too thick.
4. Application: Use a trowel or formwork (such as a plastic pipe) to shape and apply the mixture as needed.
5. Drying: Allow the mixture to air dry for 24-48 hours, depending on thickness and ambient conditions.
6. Final Steps: Once dried, carefully remove any formwork or shuttering, if used.
