Many times Durocast are contacted by clients regarding the gelling times of Refractory products due to either accelerated or retarded setting problems.
Unfortunately this seems to be an ever growing problem within the industry.
To a certain extent this can be solved by using additives but only if the parameters are known beforehand, if not then in certain instances they can be added onsite. A temperature between 10°C and 27°C should be used as an optimum guide for the placement of material, in some applications it could be difficult to meet this criteria, without changes to the product mix so it is important to give the manufacturer this information beforehand.
Please contact Durocast for more information.
