How to distinguish refractory cement from furnace casting

Like fireproof cement, and furnace casting are shapeless refractory materials, used in high temperature thermal equipment. Nevertheless, there are many differences between them, which can be distinguished by user, form and method of production.

Refractory castings and refractory cement have various applications

Refractory cement is mainly used for repairing and bonding refractory materials, such as fire bricks and fire boards, for repairing masonry structures or filling brick cracks. It is often used for repair and construction work in small areas. Fireproof castings are mainly used for large area fireproof structures, such as pouring refractory layers of kilns, boilers, heating furnaces and other equipment.

Refractory castings and refractory cement have different shapes

Refractory cement powder, while refractory castings consist of large and small particles and fine powder.

The methods for producing furnace casting and refractory cement are different

Refractory casting material is produced by vibration casting. Before construction begins, it is necessary to force the equipment to pour mixed casting material into the construction area, and then release air bubbles using vibration to achieve a uniform building effect. Refractory cement is commonly used as an additive, and not by itself. It is used to uniformly repair the construction site by spreading.
