Vitcas Refractory Mortar – Vitset 80 is a ready-mixed, high-alumina mortar that withstands temperatures up to 1750°C / 3180°F. It is air-setting and ideal for setting, dipping, coating, and spraying refractory bricks. Suitable for industrial applications like steel production and foundries.
Vitset 80 is a high-alumina refractory mortar, pre-mixed for convenient application. Formulated to withstand temperatures up to 1750°C / 3180°F, it is ideal for a variety of high-temperature industrial environments.
Key Characteristics
Strong Air-Set Bond: Vitset 80 creates a durable bond with all types of refractory bricks, whether applied by troweling, dipping, coating, or spraying.
High-Temperature Resistance: It maintains its integrity under extreme heat, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Thermal Expansion: The mortar expands at elevated temperatures, particularly around 1540°C / 2800°F, ensuring a tight seal and long-lasting performance.
Slag Resistance: Specifically designed to resist slag attack, Vitset 80 provides increased durability in harsh operating environments.
Applications
Steelworks: Perfect for high-temperature processes in steel production.
Foundries: Well-suited for setting high-alumina bricks in safety linings of pouring ladles, where exposure to extreme heat and slag is frequent.
Continuous Casting Tundishes: Ideal for setting bricks and purging nozzles, maintaining the integrity of continuous casting tundishes under intense heat.
