Thermal Ceramics Kaolite 1600 Super Lightweight Insulating Castables
Categories: Ceramic; Oxide

Material Notes: Super lightweight Kaolite castables reduce both the quantity of heat storage and heat transfer through the lining producing significant savings in furnace fuel consumption. The lower densities of these vermiculite based Kaolite castables reduce the amount of supporting furnace steel work required and provide more insulation with a thinner lining. These products can be cast, poured, or gunited.

Kaolite 1600 is a super lightweight, low thermal conductivity vermiculite based castable designed for backup insulation up to 1600°F. Kaolite 1600 contains Portland cement which limits use temperature to 1600°F; however, this makes it an economical product based on cost per cubic foot.
