Brief Introduction of Kerui Low Cement Refractory Castable
According to the industry standard, low cement castable contains 1.0-2.5% CaO. When the content of CaO is less than 1%, it becomes ultra low cement castable. What is different from ordinary refractory castable is that part or most of the calcium aluminate cement in the matrix of low-cement and ultra-low-cement castable is replaced by ultra-fine powder with the same or similar chemical composition as the material. At the same time, an appropriate amount of water reducing agent and a certain amount of delayed coagulant are also added. Moreover, Kerui supports customized castable refractory composition to help you succeed.

Performance of Low Cement Castable
The low cement castable has less high temp refractory cement. Therefore, the raw material has high purity. Moreover, Kerui low cement castable has higher service temperature. If your business has higher requirement on the castable product, this product is suitable for you.
Low cement castable exhibit good mechanical strength, ensuring that they maintain their structural integrity under high temperatures and mechanical stress. This strength is essential to prevent cracking or structural failure, especially in applications involving cyclic heating and cooling.
In many industrial applications, especially in steel-making and non-ferrous metal industries, materials come into contact with slag, which is a byproduct of the metal refining process. Low cement castable are formulated to resist the corrosive effects of slag, ensuring the material remains durable and functional over extended periods.
Stability in this context refers to the ability of the castable material to maintain its physical and chemical properties over time, even under challenging operating conditions. High stability ensures that the castable retains its strength, slag resistance and thermal properties throughout its service life, which contributes to the longevity of refractory linings.

Tips About Scientific Proportion of Low Cement Castable
Proper material selection and formulation are paramount to developing high-performance monolithic refractory materials. Here we can explore several key considerations that help you choose suitable low cement castable refractory.
1. High-Quality Aggregates and Fine Powder
Customers can choose high-quality aggregates such as high-alumina, mullite, or spinel. These materials should have excellent thermal and mechanical properties. The fine powder, often composed of reactive alumina and calcined alumina, should be carefully selected to ensure compatibility with the aggregates. Besides, you’d better determine the optimal ratio of aggregates to fine powder. This ratio affects the packing density of the mix, influencing its strength and thermal properties. A balanced proportion ensures a densely packed structure, enhancing the castable’s performance.
2. Micron and Ultrafine Powder Technology
The integrate micron and ultrafine powders into the mix. These fine particles fill voids between larger particles, enhancing packing density. This results in a more compact and cohesive structure, improving strength and thermal conductivity. Additionally, please pay attention to the particle size distribution of the powders. A well-graded mix with a range of particle sizes ensures optimal packing. Advanced powder technology allows for precise control over particle sizes, enhancing the overall performance of the alumina castable refractory.
3. Safe and Stable Binding Agent
It’s worth noting that choosing a stable binding agent, typically high-alumina or calcium aluminate cement, in appropriate proportions. The binding agent forms a strong bond between particles, ensuring the castable maintains its shape and integrity under high temperatures. Besides, you can ensure the binding agent is of high quality and consistent. Variations in the binding agent’s properties can significantly impact the castable’s performance. Regular testing and quality control measures are essential.
4. Water Reducing Agent
Use a water-reducing agent to enhance workability and reduce the water content. Lower water content leads to higher density and strength after curing and drying. Carefully measure the amount of water-reducing agent to optimize the mix. Moreover, Kerui Refractory Group helps you strike a balance between workability and water content. Excessive water can lead to porosity and reduced strength, while insufficient water can result in poor workability. Proper mixing techniques and the right amount of water-reducing agent ensure the mix is both workable and high-performing.
