DETRICK CASING CEMENT
Detrick Casing Cement is a hard exterior finish originally developed for certain Detrick Sectionally Supported furnace enclosures. Casing Cement comes in dry form ready to be mixed with water at the job site. Hydraulic setting, it is usually troweled in place in the panels formed by supporting structural steel members. Maybe used in place of steel casings in many applications. Sets up to provide a neat protective covering for insulation, effectively sealing the enclosure.
STRONG - AIR-TIGHT
Since the main purpose of casings often is to provide a more air-tight enclosure, a monolithic application of Detrick Casing Cement is very effective. It is troweled into position 1/2" to 1" thick, keyed in place by perimeter supporting members or otherwise secured to the insulation previously applied. Casing Cement remains tight against the insulation and leaves no room for air movement through or behind the casing. Should an interior leak occur, it is easy to locate and repair. Casing Cement properly applied prevents blind leaks from short circuiting gases to an other part of the furnace enclosure.
APPEARANCE
After Casing Cement is troweled in place and has attained its hydraulic set, it may be left just as it dries to present a pleasing, smooth appearance. When desired, it may be painted in harmony with the steel panel structure around it.
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE
Detrick Casing Cement withstands repeated freezing-and-thawing cycles conducted per ASTM C-290 and C-291, without deteriorating. For this reason, it has been used as the exterior finish on many wall designs of oil refinery heaters, boilersff stress relieving furnaces, etc. , exposed to a wide variety of outdoor weathering conditions.
