Gun method of installation. Insulating monolithics 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 containing Kaolite monolithics reduce the amount of supporting furnace steel work required and provide more insulation capability with a thinner lining. These products can be cast, poured, or gunited. Kaolite 1600 is a very lightweight, low thermal conductivity vermiculite based monolithic designed for backup insulation applications up to 1600°F (871°C). Kaolite 1600 contains Portland cement which limits use temperature to 1600°F (871°C); however, this makes it an economical product based on cost per cubic foot.Information provided by Morgan Advanced Materials |
