| SiO2 |
about 50% |
| CaO |
about 11% |
| K2O |
about 3% |
| Ti02 |
about 1% |
| Fe2O3 + Feo |
about 4% |
| Na2O |
about 1% |
Chemical and Physical Composition
| Refractory binder |
about 40% |
| Chamotte |
about 60% |
Installation
- Remove dirty and dust from the parts to join;
- Put in a container 2,5l of water every 10 kg of RefMix. Pour slowly and mix until obtaining an elastic mixture;
- Spray water or wet with a sponge parts to join;
- Apply RefMix spreading it homogeneously (minimum 10 mm of thickness) and join the parts;
- When work completed, keep parts wet, for a few hours, to allow RefMix to adhere homogeneously.
