VERSAFLOW® 70 PLUS

II I
Product Data 4/15: 2833

Description: 70% Alumina, Low-Cement Castable


Features:  Excellent abrasion resistance.
 High hot strength at 2500°F (1370°C).
 High refractoriness.
 Can be vibration cast, conventionally cast, or pumped with slight adjustment to water content.
Uses:  Iron and steel foundries—replacing brick, plastics, and other castables in foundry ladles and forge furnace car decks.
 Aluminum furnaces—upper sidewalls and roofs.
 Steel industry—ladle covers, tundish covers, tundish safety linings, and precast shapes for tundishes.
 Rotary kilns—nose rings, lifters, firing hoods, coolers, and preheater maintenance.
 Incineration—charging zone, burners, and rotary kilns.
