Castable Refractory

Refractory castable is the most mainstream type of monolithic refractories. It is prepared by mixing refractory aggregates, powders, binders and additives in a specified ratio. After mixing with water (or liquid), it is cast and vibrated to form, then cured and baked to form an integral furnace lining.

  • Describe
  • Refractory castable is the most mainstream type of monolithic refractories. It is prepared by mixing refractory aggregates, powders, binders and additives in a specified ratio. After mixing with water (or liquid), it is cast and vibrated to form, then cured and baked to form an integral furnace lining.

    II. Core Characteristics 

    • Good integrity: No brick joints; air tightness, erosion resistance and penetration resistance are far better than brick masonry.
    • Flexible construction: Can be cast into any shape, suitable for complex structures, repair and integral lining.
    • Complete product range: Covers low temperature to ultra-high temperature, wear resistance, slag resistance and thermal insulation.
    • Short construction period: Fast on-site installation, ideal for maintenance and emergency repair.
    • High strength: Stable medium and high temperature strength, adjustable thermal shock resistance.

    III. Classification by Binder (Most Critical) 

    Cement-bonded castable (Most commonly used)水泥结合浇注料

    • Binded by aluminate cement (high alumina cement)
    • Typical products: Low cement castable, ultra-low cement castable, ordinary cement castable
    • Advantages: Easy construction, high strength, moderate cost
    • Applications: Ladle, heating furnace, rotary kiln, blast furnace trough, etc

    Water glass-bonded castable

    • Good acid resistance, moderate high temperature strength
    • Applications: Chimneys, flues, acid working conditions

    Phosphoric acid / phosphate-bonded castable

    • Extremely high medium and high temperature strength, excellent wear resistance
    • Applications: Wear-resistant linings, burners, impact zones

    Sol-bonded castable (High performance)

    • Ultra-low impurities, excellent high temperature stability
    • Applications: Clean steel production, glass furnace, high-end furnace linings

    IV. Classification by Material / Chemical Composition 

    Fireclay / High alumina castable

    • Al₂O₃: 40%~80%
    • General-purpose, service temperature 1300~1500℃
    • Applications: Heating furnaces, flues, hot air ducts, general kilns

    Corundum castable

    • Al₂O₃ ≥ 90%, high-purity corundum aggregateAl₂O₃≥90%
    • High temperature resistance, strong slag resistance, good wear resistance
    • Applications: Ladle walls, slag line, burners, gasifiers

    Magnesia / Magnesia-alumina spinel castable

    • Basic material, extremely strong alkaline slag resistance
    • Applications: Ladle slag line, converter repair, cement kiln burning zone

    Lightweight thermal insulation castable

    • Porous structure, low thermal conductivity
    • Applications: Back insulation, insulation layer, not in direct contact with molten slag

    Wear-resistant castable

    • High density, high hardness
    • Applications: Iron trough, launder, coal powder pipeline, cyclone cylinder

    V. Classification by Cement Content (Important Industrial Grade) 

    • Ordinary cement castable: Cement content ≥15%
    • Low cement castable (LCC): Cement 3%~8% (Most mainstream)
    • Ultra-low cement castable (ULCC): Cement <3%
    • No cement castable (NCC): 0 cement, sol / colloid bonded

    Lower cement content → better high temperature performance, better thermal shock resistance, smaller shrinkage

    VI. Typical Applications (Full coverage in metallurgy /building materials /chemical industry) 

    • Iron & steel: Ladle, tundish, iron trough, slag trough, heating furnace, walking beam
    • Cement: Preheater, calciner, cooler, kiln inlet
    • Petrochemical / Coal chemical: Gasifier, cracking furnace, heating furnace tube lining
    • Waste incineration: Incinerator, flue
    • Industrial furnaces: Heat treatment furnace, soaking furnace, chimney lining

    VII. Key Performance Indicators (Essential for Bidding Documents)

    • Refractoriness
    • Cold modulus of rupture / Cold compressive strength
    • Permanent linear change on firing
    • Apparent porosity / Bulk density 
    • Thermal conductivity (for insulating castables)
