Sprayable Hard Compound


 

KALCRET® Hard Compound

Trowelled, Cast or Sprayed on Wear Protection
for System Components and Pipes



KALCRET Cement bonded hard compound for a jointless lining of plant components where high wear and temperature occur. Applying KALCRET® creates a strong, high temperature resistant protection lining.
Casting. Spraying.
   
KALCRET® casting into molds can be formed to fit your abrasion resistance needs. Trowelling KALCRET® is another option where high wear and high temperature occur.
Casting. Trowelling.

KALCRET hard compound is the general term for cement bonded wear protection materials. These are based on inorganic materials of high strength and good wear resistance.

The specific density is attained by a well balanced particle size distribution of the individual components. The pores between the cement portions are filled by the addition of superfine particles of micro silica.

KALCRET reaches high compressive strength after 8 hours. It is excellently suited for repairs. The mixture includes defined additives and is made up of:

  • Hard aggregate materials
  • Cement binder
  • Micro silica

A specific portion of steel fibers is added to enhance the structural strength. The type of steel fibers used depends on the thermal, chemical and corrosive stress to which the wear protection will be exposed. Expansion joints will be provided when KALCRET is used at higher temperatures.

Concerning its chemical resistance KALCRET is more stable than regular concrete. However, KALCRET can not be used as acid protection.

Ideal for material combinations
KALCRET is also fit for combination with other materials from the Abresist Corp. wear protection program, such as with

Installation: by trowelling, casting in molds, or spraying.
Application temperature: up to 1200°C / 2192°F depending on material,
application and geometry.
Advantages: highly wear resistant, strong and jointless lining,
highly temperature resistant.

KALCRET® molds into any shape or form you need, providing maximum protection.
Uniform tiles or shaped elements are prefabricated at Abresist.   Pipes and pipe bends lined with KALCRET® are produced with an inside diameter of more than 40 mm.
Tiles and shaped elements made from the cast compound are prefabricated at the Abresist Corporation plant and equipped with well-known attachment hardware, such as steel corner inserts.

KALCRET®-S Sprayable Hard Compound

Sprayable Abrasion Resistant Lining for
Large Surfaces, Installs Quickly, Even Overhead



KALCRET®-S significantly reduces wear and abrasion on system components and pipes in many industries including cement, power, glass, iron/steel, mining, and refuse incineration.New spray system applies abrasion resistant KALCRET®-S wear compound to large surfaces quickly and reliably, in a uniform, compact layer, free of joints. KALCRET®-S significantly reduces wear and abrasion on system components and pipes in many industries including cement, power, glass, iron/steel, mining, and refuse incineration.

KALCRET®-S hard compound is a mixture of hard aggregate materials ranging in size from 0-4 mm and consisting of bauxite or corundum (depending on application), cement binder and micro silica. Defined amounts of steel fibers add structural strength.

  • Spray system delivers a continuous, uniform layer.
  • Spray horizontally or vertically to achieve a joint free lining.
  • Surface can be smoothed immediately after spraying.
  • No sandblasting required before application.
  • Fast application rate > 5m²/Hr. (54 sq. ft./Hr.)
  • 24 hour setting time.
  • Use at temperatures up to 1200°C (2192°F).
  • Excellent thermal shock resistance and oxidation stability.
  • Thicknesses range from 20 to 100mm (.78" to 3.93"), depending
    on severity of wear.
  • Use wire mesh or anchors for mechanical attachment.
