Bulk Density - 100 – 150 kgs per cu. m.
Particle size - 4 mm - 0.150 mm
Moisture content - 0.5%
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
SiO2 | 71 – 75%
Al2O3 | 12 – 18%
Fe2O3 | 0.5 – 1.0%
CaO | 0.5 – 1.0%
N2 | 3 - 4%
K2O | 4 – 5%
Application:
Used as a lightweight – insulating ingredient with low iron content in castables. Such refractories were originally developed for catalytic reformers, which required product with less than 1% iron content to avoid poisoning of catalyst. Because of its ability to withstand atmospheres containing carbon monoxide and high percentage of hydrogen its use has spread to other applications requiring a high purity material of lightweight and high insulating efficiency to ensure economic linings. Mainly used in sponge iron, petrochemical chemical and refinery catalytic reformers, boiler top decks and arc furnace insulation etc. Maximum service temperature 1100 C.
