LC 140 is a 1400°C castable refractory designed for applications like burner blocks in aluminum furnaces. It exhibits high strength at all temperatures up to 1400°C and good abrasion resistance. The castable has a density of 2440 kg/m3, cold crushing strength of 100 MPa after firing at 815°C, and thermal conductivity of 1.6 W/mK at 600°C. It is a hydraulic bond castable containing 52% alumina and 40% silica and should be mechanically mixed with 6-7% water and slowly heated the first time after installation.

Instruction for Use


Highest strength is obtained with castable refractory by using the least amount of clean mixing water that will allow
thorough working of material into place by vibrating. A mechanical mixer is required for proper placement (paddle type
mortar mixers are best suited).
After adding the recommended water mix for at least 4 minutes, place the material within 20 minutes after mixing. For
maximum strength cure 24 hours in a damp condition before initial heat-up. New castable installation must be heated
slowly the first time.
This must be installed under closely controlled conditions using mechanical mixers and vibration. The resultant concrete
has a dense, low permeability structure and care must be exercised during initial heating. At top water material can be
placed at minimum or no vibration.

Storage and Shelf Life


• Should be stored in dry conditions, unopened packaging on pallets. Do not store on ground. Keep out of rain and
damp conditions.
• Shelf life is of six months with original packaging, double shrink film and dehydrating agent provided if the monolithic
is stored under these recommended conditions.
