WHITE CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS FIBER. 1000* ROPE IS A PURE 98/100% WHITE CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS FIBER. APPLICATIONS OF C-E ASBESTOS ROPE . . HERE ARE SOME OF THE MANY SERVICES STEEL MILLS AND FOUNDRIES Uses lor C-E Asbestos Rope are almost endless. Sealing molds, vaeuunvpouring equipment (where leakage can ruin an entire billet), sand molds off from pouring ladles, calking joints in large cores which must be segmented. ATOMIC ENERGY ' 1000* is standard in the Industry because it withstands an integrated neutron flux of 101* NTV units. MARINE SERVICE C-E Asbestos Rope is essential in the Engine Room for general boiler service such as calking, filling and expansion joints, wrapping hard-to-reach steam lines and in emergencies, for quick repair of damaged steam lines. GENERAL INDUSTRY Anywhere heat sealing is required, whether heat-treating furnaces, boilers or processing operations. POWER PLANTS Between boiler walls and brick work to allow for expansion and contraction, wrapping steam and exhaust lines where space limitations preclude formed insulation, covering small ducts, calking hard-to-reach spaces, insulating hot, pipes passing through fire walls and bulkheads. It is the standard for use in grooves for door sealing, between boiler sections, expansion joints and in handling hot gases. ASBESTOS ROPE CAN HANDLE EFFICIENTLY AND ECONOMICALLY CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES C-E 1000* rope is successfully used as calking rope for bell and spigot joints in chemical lines. Because it contains no organic components, it is used as yarning rope for water lines. In addition to its heat-resistance, the chemically inert characteristics have made it a "standard" in other chemical-handling operations such as packing for carboy-stoppers, and in Cryogenic services, and other applications where this property is required. ALUMINUM PLANTS Anywhere the control of heat and sealing is needed--heat-treating ovens, grooves for door sealing, pouring ladles, vauum seals on crucibles, and in many other dry heat-sealing applications, C-E Rope is recommended. .

INC. ical UTILITY THERMAL FINISH CEMENT Utility Thermal Finiih Cement is composed of high quality mineral fiber, hydraulic binders, and other suitable materials. Utility combines the flexibility, high temperature resistance, and excellent insulating qualities of uniformly nodulated mineral fiber with the strength, low shrinkage, and smooth finish of hydraulic setting cement. The result is a quick setting, smooth finish, thermal resistant, single layer insulating finiih cement. For temperatures up to 1200CF. QUICK SETTING Utility Insulating Finish Cement develops a smooth, durable, protective finish within a few hours after application and without the presence of heat. Subsequent drying produces no excessive surface cracking or shrinkage in thickness, and occasional wetting does no damage after hydraulic set. Long drying periods under normal conditions are eliminated. Saves time in applying weatherproofing paint, or other finishes. Jobs are easier to schedule; sesffotding costs are reduced. ONE COAT APPLICATION * Utility is normally applied in a single layer application. A second layer is needed only when multiple layer thicknesses are specified. Utility is virtually an all-purpose insulating finish cement, designed primarily for use over Griptex block or blanket insulations. Utility is widely used for insulating valves, fittings, heated equipment, and as an anti-sweat insulation for cold water tanks, pumps, etc. Utility trowels with a good key on block insulation, blanket insulation and insulating cement. It has good wet adhesion to clean steel surfaces, such as valves and fittings. PLEASING APPEARANCE Utility dries to a smooth, light reflectant surface which as an interior finish, requires no further treatment. Utility, however, is easily painted if desired. Outdoor applications should be weather protected. Low temperature applications require e vapor seal type finish. EXCELLENT THERMAL QUALITIES Utility has a "K" factor of .79 at 600F. mean temperature. This excellent insulating value as compared to other finish cements is a very desirable advantage when figuring job and operating costs.

STORAGE Store in a cool, dry location until ready to use. EFRACT08JES A DIVISION OF COMBUSTION ^ENGINEERING. INC. PERMISEAL - THERMAL COAT Basically there are three types of asphalt mastics used in the insulation field. They are usually classified as water emulsion, solvent cutback, or chemical dispersion types. The thinning agent or dispersion chemical determines which basic classification will be given a particular product, and dictates the end use of the resultant product. It is important to know which thinning agent is used to determine the useful qualities of a particularly blended asphalt mastic. The quality and/or type of basic asphalt determines the service temperature of the product involved. WATER EMULSION ASPHALT MASTICS The water emulsion type of asphalt weather coating such as Thermal Coat, is normally a Wend of petroleum asphalt, asbestos fiber and Bentonite clay, emulsified in water. Water emulsions are primarily used as a breathing mastic, i.e., if suitable pressure is built up beneath its surface, moisture present will pass through to the atmosphere. However, atmospheric pressure is normally not sufficient to pass moisture back through to the insulation, except, of course, on low temperatury work. In this case, a vapor barrier type mastic such as Durisea! is essential. Summer grade water emulsions, becuase of the water present, will freeze and should be protected at all times prior to and during application. Alcohol is usually added to Winter grade emulsions. The amount used determines the resistance to freezing of the resultant product. Water emulsions should always be stored and used at temperatures above freezing in any event A water emulsion that has been frozen is useless and will "alligator*' if applied. Water emulsions usually are suitable only for trowel application and are used wherever a breathing mastic is required. Because they lack tke adhesive qualities and resiliency of a cutback type mastic, they should be mechanically bonded to poultry netting except on extremely small surfaces. They should be used in conjunction with a cutback or dispersion type flashing compound. Water emulsions can only be repaired with such types of mastics since they do not bond to themselves. It is imperative that they be repaired as soon as possible if a break in the applied surface should occur to insure service life of the product _ 44 Thermal Coat may be applied at temperatures up to 200 F, and will withstand a maximum temperature of 450F. after drying. CAUTION: Water emulsions are soluble in water and should not be applied if there is a possibility of rain washing the product within twelve hours of the initial application time. Keep Winter Grade above 20F. CHEMICAL DISPERSION TYPE ASPHALT MASTICS Chemical dispersion type asphalt mastics, such as PERMISEAL, incorporate a unique combination of the desirable qualities of the water emulsion and cutback types. They normally^ consist of petroleum asphalt dispersed in a non flammable chemical with suitable fillers, blended in one consistency suitable for brush, trowel or spray applications. Containing non flammable solvents, they are fire-safe for use around open flaroe, welding torches and similar hazardous job conditions. They have the breathing characteristic of e water emulsion for a period of sixty to ninety days after application. This controlled curing process prevents shrinkage of the surface film and permits trapped moisture to escape. The result is e flexible, blister free, vapor seal type coating of exceptional toughness. A good chemical dispersion product is not affected by freezing and resists most acids and alkalies. Howwer. solubility in water is a factor, depending upon humidity conditions, for a period of eight to twelve hours or longer after application. The anodizing and rust inhibiting agents contained in PERMISEAL make this product excellent for metal protection purposes. PERMISEAL has a useful service temperature up to 300*F. and a maximum of 400F. CAUTION: Dispersion type mastics should be treated the same as water emulsion types, in that they should not be applied if there is a danger of rain washing within eight to twelve hours of the application time. Under proper temperature and humidity conditions. PERMISEAL will be dry to touch in four hours or less. ... ; . C-E.RFRACTORIES`A-DIVISION OF.

Applied over masonry aettings, they dry slowly to form a black, fire-resistant, air-tight film that is impervious to v/ater exposure, chemical attack and normal abrasion. Duriseal Coatings also are used in conjunction with Detrick Thermal Coat where a flexible flashing compound is required to seat joints around openings, as a calking compound, and for low temperature stack linings to prevent corrosion. STANDARD TEMPERATURE GRADES (To 400 F) - For surface temperatures that will not be operated in excess of 350-400F the Standard Grades are recommended. Standard Type T-176 is made to a semi-viscous, troweling consistency. HIGH TEMPERATURE GRADES (To 700 F) When surface temperatures will exceed 400F during operation, but not in excess of 700F. Duriseal High Temperatury Coatings should be used. EASY TO APPLY I Duriseal Coatings may be applied over any coot, clean, dry surface, using suitable membrane between spray coats and for patching purposes. Where used, membrane should be lapped 4" et all joints or around patch applications. For ease of application, the best workable temperature range is 50F to 100F Storage temperature should not exceed 100F.Duriseal Protective Coatings require no thinning. COVERAGE Material requirements are estimated on wet coverage of approximately 5 to 6 square feet (1/4" thick) per gallon. CONTAINERS Duriseot Protective Coatings are shipped in 5 or 55 gallon steel containers. CAUTION: Surface during application should be above 100F for indoor applications or 130F for outdoor applications. Provide adequate ventilation and do not apply in vicinity of open flame, welding arcs, etc. Pyroscat it a special formulation of high-temperature aggregates, asbestos fibers, hydraulic binder and other materials. These ingredients are factory blended to a uniform dry mixture that is ready for application after mixing with water at the job site. Pyroscat is adapted to application by graying, casting and trowelling techniques, depending on job conditions. USES: Pyroscat provides a lightweight, fire-retardent protective treatment for structural steel columns, beams, tower skirts, LP gas tanks, and other exposed applications in refineries and chemical plants. Pryoscat sets up to a hard, durable sheath capable of withstanding for hours the 2000F. flame temperatures and high-pressure water streams commonly encountered in industrial fires. RECOMMENDED THICKNESSES: Fire-retardent materials are customarily rated in Hours, based on a given thickness used and on the method of application. For example, fire ratings for steel columns represent the number of hours required for heat from a "standard fire" to penetrate the protective treatment as applied, and to increase the cteel column temperature to a critical level (1200F.) The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a material are of some importance in an ASTM Fire Test. But the ability of the complete treatment to withstand thermal shock without destruction is one of the most significant factors in determining practical fire ratings in industrial installations. The Pyroscat thicknesses recommended below were determined by physical tests on a series of sprayed, cast and trowelled applications. Tests included direct exposure to 100 psi hose pressure, both before and after subjecting the Pyroscat treatment to severe flame conditions. THICKNESS OF PYROSCAT 1" 1-3/4" 2" APPROX. FIRE RESISTANCE RATING 2Hours 3Hours(UL-R-3960) 4Hours ADVANTAGES OF PYROSCAT SAFER WHILE FIGHTING FIRES . . . Many concrete aggregates and common bricks used for fireproofing purposes will spall and shatter when they are heated and subjected to hose stream. Pryoscat remains virtually unaffected after direct flame' exposure and saturation with a 200 psi hose stream. LIGHTER WEIGHT . , . Pyroscat weighs less than 55 Ibs./cu. ft. in place, compared to approximately 150 IbsVcu. ft. for conventional concrete fireproofing. Excess dead weight is eliminated. As usually sprayed or trowelied in a protective sheath, Pyroscat weights about 1/10 as much $ formed concrete at equivalent thickness per running foot.* *A C-E trade name. ..

Follow the hot face temperature (bottom of chart) vertically until it intersects the line connecting the cool face (left hand column) or B.l.u. loss (right hand column). Use the amount of Stic-Tite indicated on Use curve nearest the point of intersection. For example, assume operating temperature is 825F. and a cool face of 139* or 126 B.t.u. loss is desired. Follow the 825* line vertically until it intersects the horizontal 139* and 126 B.t.u. loss lines. The intersection -ts nearest the 3-1/2" Stic-Tite curve. Therefore. 3-1/2" of Stic-Tite should be used. At the same operating temperature if a coot face of 124* or B.t.u. toss of 96 is desired, the intersection would be nearest the 5" Stic-Tite curve. Therefore, S" of Stic-Tite should be used. > i i t i i i } t i i >t s iiu n u i HIATIOSJ n<*OVGH tNSUtATlOH I.T.V. M l SO. f t . t Mt.f WHERE STIC-TITE IS USED HOT IACS TIMFHAtUHS WO. FAHt.

It can be used in difficult places where other types of insulation are unsuitable-on intricate piping, on elbows and flanges, on slanting vertical or curved surfaces and rounded corners. Stic-Tite provides a monolithic, seamless, jointless covering which can be troweled perfectly smooth for appearance. EXCELLENT ADHESION--REALLY "STAYS ON" Stic-Titc Adheres permanently without lifting Off or tfuiking loose even when subjected to sever vibration, abrasion or impact. . STOPS HEAT LOSS The spongy mass of dead air cells checks air infiltration-prevents heat loss. Since dry Stic-Tite does not shrink or form cracks, the high Insulating efficiency is never impaired. EASY TO APPLY Stic-Tite, mixed with the proper amount of water, forms an easily workable, plastic mass which can be troweled or safety applied with the bare hands. The usual practice is to apply first a roughing coat over the area to be covered, then trowel smooth around Joints, over the surface and elbows, curves, etc. LARGE COVERAGE Since Stic-Tite dries with practically no shrinkage (an inch of Stic-Tite applied wet remains practically an inch thick when dry), less is required to provide sufficient insulating thickness. Mixed and applied as directed, 100 tbs. of the material cover 45 sq. ft. with a 1" thick layer. CAN BE REUSED if used at temperatures below 900F., old Stic-Tite can be removed from equipment, crushed, mixed with clean water and reapplied like new Stic-Tite. This makes equipment repairs less costly since the insulation can be saved. Reclaimed Stic-Tite is equal to the new product in insulating efficiency, adhesion and plasticity. SAVES LABOR AND MATERIALS Stic-Tite is so easy to apply on all types of regular and irregular surfaces and over other insulations that labor cost is very low. Skilled men are not needed. Since Stic-Tite adheres so strongly, reinforcing wires and other supports are unnecessary when used up to 1-1/2" thick. CONVENIENT PACKING Stic-Tite is shipped dry in heavy, lined, dustless p>aper bags containing 25 lbs. and 50 lbs. each. It does not deteriorate in dry storage-can be kept indefinitely if dampness or wet places arc avoided. HOW TO APPLY 1. Each 50# bag should be mixed with 12 gallons (100 lbs.) of fresh water. 2. After thoroughly mixing. Stic-Titc can be applied immediately, but better results can be obtained by allowing it to soak for at least a half hour or longer. 3. All surfaces to be covered should be free of paint, dust, dirt and grease. 4. Roughing coats can be applied by hand or trowel or combination of hand and trowel. 5. If hot surfaces are to be insulated with Stic-Tite, the material should be spotted in place with a trowel and dragged down to a feather edge. The spotted material will dry quickly and then a rough coat about 1" thick can be applied over and between the spots. 6. On cold surfaces for covering up to 1-1/2" thick, after being mixed according to directions on the Stic-Tite should be ppUed by spreading it over the surface to as even a thickness as possible. After the rough coat has dried out, a finish coat up to 1/2" thick can be applied over the rough surface and finished with a trowel to a smooth, attractive finish. Stic-Tite can be used up to 1-1/2" thick without reinforcing. ?. For covering over 1-1/2" thick, apply a rough coat about V' thick. When rough coat is dry apply another 1" coat and continue until desired thickness is obtained. Each coat should be dried before additional coats are applied. Prior to application of finish coat, we recommend reinforcing with #20 gauge 2" mesh chicken wire. 8. Finish coats should be applied from 1/4" to 1/2" thick, troweled to a smooth, hard finish. Where desired. Stic-Tite finish can be painted. Best results are obtained by painting with a glue sizing and paint over this. 9. If more Stic-Tite is mixed than can be used, the left over material can be laid aside and remixed with water at a later date when it is required. REFRACTORY & INSULATION CORPORATION UTILITY THERMAL FJNISH CEMENT Utility Thermal Finish Cement is composed of high quality mineral fiber, hydraulic binders, and other suitable materials. Utility combines the flexibility, high temper ature resistance, and excellent insulating qualities of uniformly nodulated mineral fiber with the strength, low shrinkage, and smooth finish of hydraulic setting cement. The result is a quick setting, smooth finish,, thermal resistant, single layer insulating finish cement. For temperatures up to 1200F. QUICK SETTING /j / V rSi-ion; WBH9S& Utility Insulating Finish Cement develops a smooth, durable, protective finish within a few hours after application and without the presence of heat. Subsequent drying produces no excessive surface cracking or shrinkagein thickness, and occasional wetting does no damage after hydraulic set. Long drying periods under normal conditions are eliminated. Saves time in applying weatherproofing, paint, or other finishes. Jobs are easier to schedule; scaffolding costs are reduced. ONE COAT APPLICATION Utility is normally applied in asingle layer application. A second layeris needed only when multiple layer thicknesses are specified. Utility is virtually an all -purpose insulating finish cement, designed primarily for use over Griptex block or blanket insulations. Utility is widely used for insulating valves, fittings, heated equipment, and as an anti-sweat insulation for cold water tanks, pumps, etc. Utility trowels with a good.key on block insulation, blanket insulation and insu lating cement. It has good wet adhesion to clean steel surfaces, such as valves and fittings. PLEASING APPEARANCE Utility dries to a smooth, light reflectant surface which as an interior finish, requires no further treatment. Utility, however, is easily painted if desired. Outdoor applications should be weather protected. Low temperature applications require a vapor seal type finish. EXCELLENT THERMAL QUALITIES Utility has a "K" factor of . 79 at 600F.mean temperature. This excellent insu lating value as compared to other finish cements is a very desirable advantage when figuring job and operating costs. May, 1964 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES /Service Temperature 1200F.

Remove dirt, scale or loose paint from the surface to be treated, then apply rust preventative paint or coating when specified. 2. For trowel applications to columns and beams, form 3/8" rib lath (or paper-backed lath) to box-in the member. Apply rib`lath with ribs turned in and spanned from flange to flange. On members 14" and larger, first weld 1/4" rods across the flanges approximately 12" to 18" on centers to provide additional support for the lath. Secure the lath in place with wire or bands. For gun application, use 2x2 #16 paper-backed-lath such as Steeltex. a) Provide 2"firestops on columns at 8* to 12' intervals (or as other wise specified). Form the metal lath into a horizontal shelf ex tending to and supported at the web. Apply Pyroscat 2" thick in the opening. Provide similar stops at the top elevation of the fire proofing. b) Plasterer's corner bead may be wired to the metal lath, forming and supporting it to attain the total Pyroscat thickness specified. Corner bead shall be of the type having open-mesh legs to facili tate complete filling of the corners. The corner bead may be spaced the proper distance from the flanges by means of cornetclips, rods, studs; or Pyroscat may be spotted-in to space the corner bead at specified fireproofing thickness. B. Application of Pyroscat 1. Mix Pyroscat to recommended consistency with clean, fresh water, before application. Refer to mixing instructions on the bag and use no more water than called for. Mix Pyroscat to a homogeneous plastic mass; avoid over-mixing, particularly with mechanical mixers. a) Apply Pyroscat well into the metal lath, installing approximately 1/2 the total thickness in the scratch coat. Leave the first coat rough or scratch the surface. b) On the underside of beams, the application may be in three coats. Apply a thin scratch coat first to Improve adhesion. c) If corner bead was not applied previously, wire it in place when the scratch coat has set. Let the scratch coat harden until well set (4 to 6 hours or longer), then double-back with the finish coat. Apply it flush with the corner bead. Sponge-float the surface to atextured finish or as otherwise specified. a) When application of the finish coat is deferred overnight orlonge wet down the scratch coat thoroughly before proceeding with tl finish coat. May, 1964 e . t --j-- % C. Curing Pyroscat ' l. Pyroscat is a cementitious material; to develop its strength, keep it moist for 72 hours or longer. Depending on atmospheric conditions when applied, the required water retention may be accomplished with wet burlap, periodic water spray or a hydrostatic (resin-base) sealer. 2 Following the curing period and when visual moisture has dried, apply a suitable flashing material at all intersecting joints and exposed ends of members treated (Duriseal T-178 Coating). 3. Pyroscat may be painted with (1) masonry paint, (2) two coats of asphaltbase aluminum paint, or (3) other finishes as specified for operating conditions involved. (Note: When conventional masonry paint of the hydrating-type is used, wet down the Pyroscat before painting to insure proper hydration). ALTERNATES FOR TOWER SKIRTS (VERTICAL) A-2 Attach a layer of 1M x l" square mesh reinforcing, positioned 1" away from the skirt, i.e., at the approximate center of the fireproofing thickness specified. a) Trowel or gun Pyroscat solidly through openings in the square mesh, bringing the scratch coat out approximately 1" thick. Start at the bottom of the skirt and work upward. Leave the surface rough, or scratch it when trowel applied. b) Screed strips may be attached temporarily over the square mesh reinforc ing, to accurately gauge the thickness of the second layer. c) When fireproofing is applied to skirts of heated vessels while they are in operation, heat conducted to the skirt may prematurely dry the initial layer of Pyroscat. Wet the first coat thoroughly, particularly at the top, before applying the final layer. ALTERNATES FOR HORIZONTAL TANKS A-2 Bolster barsare preferred for anchorage of the reinforcing mesh. The bolster bar selected would have legs extending from the tank surface approximately one-half of the total thickness of Pyroscat to be applied. Form the bolster bars to fit the tank curvature, then weld or wire in place circumferentially approxi mately 3* on centers. Wire the reinforcing mesh to the bolster bars. C-3 When tanks so fireproofed are to be operated below ambient temperature, suit able vapor-sealing treatment is recommended after the Pyroscat has been cured, dried and flashed.

These ingredients are factory blended to a uniform dry mixture that is ready for application after mixing with water at the job site. Pyroscat is adapted to application by spraying, casting and trowelling techniques, depending on job conditions. USES: Pyroscat provides a lightweight, fire-retardent protective treatment for structural steel columns, beams, tower skirts, LP gas tanks, and other exposed applications in refineries and chemical plants. Pyroscat sets up to a hard, durable sheath capable of withstanding for hours the 2000F. flame temperatures and High-pressure water streams commonly encoun tered in industrial fires. . . RECOMMENDED THICKNESSES: Fire-retardent materials are customarily rated in Hours, based on a given thickness used and on the method of application. For example, fire ratings for steel columns represent the number of hours required for heat from a "standard fire" to penetrate' the protective treatment as applied, and t6 increase the steel column temperature to a critical level (1200F.). The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a material are of some impor tance in an ASTM Fire Test. But the ability of the complete treatment to withstand thermal shock without destruction is one of the most significant factors in determining practical fire ratings in industrial installations. The Pyroscat thicknesses recommendedbelow were determined by physical tests on a series of sprayed, cast and trowelled applications. Tests in cluded direct exposure to 100 psi hose pressure, both before and after subjecting the Pyroscat treatment to severe flame conditions. Thickness of Pyroscat 1" 1-3/4" 2" Approx. Fire Resistance Rating 2 Hours 3 Hours - (UL-R-3960 4 Hours ADVANTAGES OF ROSCAT Safer While Fighting Fires .. Many concrete aggregates and common bricks used for fireproofing purposes will spall and shatter when they are heated and subjected to a hose stream. Pyroscat remains virtually unaf fected after direct flame exposure and saturation with alOOpsihose stream. May, 1964 An R (t I trade name.
