Safety and health

Pay attention to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before installing this product. In the MSDS all relevant
information regarding potential health, safety and environmental hazards and protective measures for these
hazards can be found. The MSDS also specifies the appropriate personal protective equipment to be used
when installing this product.

Storage and shelf life

The optimum storage temperature for goods in their original, unopened packaging ranges from 15 to 25 °C.
Keep in a dry place away from sunlight. If these conditions are met, the goods may be stored for a minimum of
12 months.
Inappropriate storage may lead to the formation of lumps, in which case the material must no longer be used
since parts of the binder have already reacted.
Do not stack more than 2 pallets on top of each other.

Processing
This compound can be processed by casting and rodding or by spraying.
Processing below 5 °C is not recommended !!
Optimum processing temperature of the material: 15 to 25 °C

If the recommended temperatures cannot be kept, corresponding measures have to be taken.

Mixing process
Processing by casting and rodding
Mixing liquid: drinking water (temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C)

Mixing device: clean high intensity mixer, free from impurities

Volume of mixing compound needed: 26,0-30,0 litres /100 kg dry material

Dry mixing time: 1 minute
Addition of mixing compound
Wet mixing: 2 to 3 minutes, depending on mixing device

26,0-30,0 l/100kg

Processing by spraying
Mixing liquid: drinking water (temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C)

26,0-30,0 l/100kg

Lining machine: rotary chamber gunning machine

26,0-30,0 l/100kg

The quantity of water stated in the datasheet of the gunning mix is a guideline; the actual quantity must be
adjusted manually at the gunning nozzle.
The material must be gunned as wet as is necessary to achieve optimum gunning results and the typical
product characteristics.
The rebound losses will strongly depend on the skill of the gunning team, the place of installation and the
operating conditions; experience has shown that rebound losses will normally range between 5 % and 20 %.

Preparation of adjoining areas
Contact surfaces that could draw water from the concrete (insulation, brickwork) must be free from dust and
made to be water-repellent. Suitable ways to achieve this are: coating with liquid sodiumsilicate, forming oil,
grease or paraffin and/or covering with film.

Preparation of templates
The entire surface of the template must be treated with a suitable form release agent.

Lining
Do not mix more material than can be used up within 30 minutes! (Take transportation into account!)
Lining of the individual components must be done continuously and without interruption. Layer formation must
be avoided!

Removing the template

The template may only be pulled out after dimensional stability has been reached.

Air drying
After stripping, the components have to be exposed to air for a minimum of 24 hours to set. During this time,
the elements have to be kept moist or covered with film. Do not start heating before this minimum period of 24
hours is over.
Installed material needs to be protected from frost until it is heated.

Drying and heating

To prevent structural damage, the drying and heating recommendations enclosed must be strictly observed for
newly lined components.
In combined lining, attention must be paid to the refractory wear layer.
The heating curve depends on the geometry of the unit and on the wall thickness. For precise monitoring of
the temperature curve we recommend using thermal elements in several areas (hot and cold side).
Enclosed please find a standard heating curve for a wall thickness of 150 mm.
For thicker walls, the heating time is correspondingly longer.
Heating curves for deviating conditions will be provided upon request.
