foreword Founded a quarter century ago. the Refractory and Insulation Corporation has been constantly de veloping refractory and insulating materials of superior quality, utility and efficiency to meet the changing requirements of the many industries it serves. IN THE REFRACTORY FIELD, this Company originated and manufactured the first castable refrac tory cements, expanding their volume from a small quantity to the large tonnage now being used in modern furnaces, steam generators and coke oven plants, always meeting the new operating conditions set up by changing designs in equipment. Other refractory products, such as Super Bonding Cements and Chrome Base Cements have been de veloped through field contact of R & I sales engineers with heat generating problems and backed by careful laboratory research to meet the conditions presented by industry. IN THE INSULATION FIELD, the same cooperative, on-the-spot engineering investigation, laboratory studies and practical production methods have resulted in such products as Monolithic Insulations, WaterResistant High Temperature Block and Intermediate Type Insulating Block, which eliminate the need for double layer construction. Castable, pouring, filling and plastering type insulations are also manufactured to meet growing and ever changing requirements. New and improved types of R & I Refractories and Insulations have aided materially in the develop ment of the modern steam generating units, from small boilers to large power steam units in the million pound unit class now used in the larger plants. Our large plant at Port Kennedy, Pa., with its modem production, handling and storing equipment makes R & I an important, assured and ready source of supply for refractory and insulation products of uniform high quality. It is the purpose of this catalog to help you select materials that will best serve your requirements. Where unusual conditions prevail, R 4 I technical facilities and engineering information are available to help solve your refractory and insulation problems.

No pounding or ramming is necessary. Because of their uniform fine grain size, Moldits are ideal for precasting into special shapes of tile, blocks or other simple or complicated sections. They are suitable for smooth surface trowel ing. uud for numerous delicate patching jobs. Moldit refractor), cast into place, actually cost considerably less than fire brick construction.

No expensive fire clay shapes are neces sary, nor is there need to wait for their special manu facture and delivery. No inventory need be carried of those special shapes which may be used only irregu* larly. It takes less time and labor to install Moldit. Any replacement or repair can be made and equip ment put back into service in less than 24 hours. STRONG -- HARD -- IMPERVIOUS HEAT-RESISTANT R & I Moldit Cements are uniformly prepared dry,, gruntilar mixtures of alumino-silicate base materials which when mixed with water and cast, "air set" to burned refractory hardness. They set sufficiently hard in about 4 to 12 hours at ordinary temperatures. "Bak ing out" to prevent shrinkage or disintegration is un necessary. Since Moldit Refractory Cements "air set," they have high strength at low temperatures. Further more, they do not spall due to temperature changes or rapid cooling. Moldit surfaces are entirely water-resist ant. and may be readily sprayed or washed for long periods without disintegration. Furnace linings built from Moldit refractories have about twice the insulating value of fire brick or fire clay linings. They are also lighter and have lower coefficients of expansion. Hence they can be used in somewhat thinner sections, thereby effecting worth while economies.

SIMPLE CASTING PROCEDURE Complete instructions for mixing are printed on colored tags attached to each bag of Moldit Cement. Water must be added slowly while continuously mixing with a shovel or hoe. Moldit which has been mixed witli water and allowed to partially set should never be used. Since the actual hardening of Moldit depends on chemical com bination of water with the dry constituents, proper conditions of moisture must be maintained. Therefore, care must be taken to prevent rapid evaporation of water while the mixture is setting in the mold. In the case of a dry atmosphere or where an individual casting or patched area lias a large surface area exposed to the atmos phere, sufficient moisture for hardening may he assured by one or more of the following methods: By placing the mold in a room or chamber with a humid atmosphere. By covering the mnld with waxed paper or other suitable covering. H> spraying water on the exposed surface just enough to couiileract the deficiency caused by evaporation. Temperature is an important factor in determining the time re quired for hardening of Moldil to maximum strength. At ordinary ce/hi(F> 33207 1 room temperature (60-75F.), curing or hardening proceeds satisfac torily. At lower temperatures the time of hardening is greatly in creased. The thinner the cast section, the longer is the time required for strength sufficient for handling. While thick, massive sections harden sufficiently in 4-5 hours, thin, upright sections require 24 hours before it is safe to remove them from the mold. (Generally overnight is a convenient period for hardening Moldit in wet pour molds. MOLDIT-A A TYPE FOR EVERY NEED Moldit-A Refractory Cement is a specially prepared, dry granular material of uniform consistency. It has a fusion point of 2552F. (Orton Cone Test) and inav safely be used at temperatures up to 2400F. it has practically no firing shrinkage. Moldit-A weighs only 10# lbs. per cu. ft. molded into shape and dried. There may be a slight variation in weight (never more than 5 per cent) from the average, due to molding pressure, shape of molded piece or quantity of water used. For best results in pouring or casting, the dry refractory material should be mixed with front 22-23 per cent of its weight of water, or 11 qts. of water per 100 lbs. of Moldit-A, which is just enough so that the mix will just Aow. Using excessive water may increase fluidity but will produce weaker molded shapes. For tamping, 9 qts. of water should be used, but tamped refractories should be "'cured" by water spray at regular intervals. Where metal rod reinforcements are required, they should be painted with tar or thick paint to allow for the metal's expansiou and contraction. Moldit-A is packed in-100-lb. quantities hi heavy, water-resistant bags. Directions for use are given on a Blue Tag attached to each bag. MOLDIT-D Moldit-D Refractory Cement is the strongest of the Moldits, with a cold crushing strength of 3200 lbs. per sq. in., which is far in excess of the thermal and mechanical load put on any refractory. Its strength averages 15 to 20% higher than that of any other castables. It lias a fusion point of 2552eF. (Orton Cone Test), and may be safely used at any temperature up to 2400F. If used with water-cooled sections, it can be exposed to higher temperatures. Up to 2200"F., Moldit-D has no shrinkage, and above that its shrinkage is less than 1 per cenL Therefore, because of its high strength and its resistance to lieaL, abra sion, acids, water and gases, it is especially useful in the walls, baffles and arches of high temperature furnaces anil boilers of all types, and especially in ash pits under stoker-fired boilers which are con stantly bombarded with falling clinkers and ashes, intermittent spray of water or salt water to flush out the ashes. Cold water sprayed on red hot Moldit-D refractory surfaces does not harm it. Extensive successful experience with Moldit-D shows reductions in labor cost of as much as 90 per cent because of the ease of its installa tion and reduction in boiler outage for repairs. Like Moldit-A. described above, Moldit-D can be poured, troweled, shoveled into place and trowel-finished smooth and abrasion-resistant in large, monolithic sections and in special shapes such as burner blocks, boiler tile, baffles or other shapes. It is particularly suitable for use with a cement gun because, when shot into place at high pressure, it forms a very dense, monolithic mass which gives extra service and wear. For example, by way of contrast, it takes 661 man hours to pound and hammer 18 tons of plastic refractory in place. The same quantity of Moldit-D can be shot in place in 35 man-hours. Moldit-D weighs approximately 115 lbs. per cu. ft. molded into place and dried. It is packed in 100-lb. quantities in heavy waterresistant bags. General instructions for mixing, pouring and "'curing" are much the same as those for Moldit-A and are given on a Gray Tag attached to each bag.

It can be used at all tempera tures to 2300F. Moldit Pier is mixed and cast or applied in the same way as Moldit-A. For pouring it should be mixed with about 225c of its weight of water or with about 11 qts. of water per 100 lbs. of dry cement. It weighs 108 lbs. per cu. ft. in place. Directions are given on Green Tac attached to each bag. SUNK MOLDIT Super Moldit Cement is used for installations to be exposed to temperatures up to 2800F. Its fusion point t Orton Cone Test i is 2900F. Its cold crushing strength is considerably below that of Moldit-A or Moldit-D, however, when fired at temperatures of 2400F. and higher, it becomes very strong. It is particularly suit able for such refractories as burner cones. Super Moldit is handled in much the same manner as is Moldit-A. In pouring, it requires agitation to assure a homogeneous casting. Super Moldit weighs approximately 112 lbs. per cu. ft. molded in place, cured, and dry. It is packed in 100-lb. bags. A Pink Tac, attached to each bag, gives directions for mixing. LIGHT WEIGHT MOLDIT #80 . This cement combines refractory and iusulat ng qualities to produce a castable refractor; concrete oi low thermal conductivity and relatively light weight, with consequent savings in supporting steel work and lower fuel costs. Its heat conductivity and storage capacity are but a small fraction of those of fire brick. Because of its good mechanical strength and resistance to spalling, it is a very satisfactory material for casting special shapes, door linings and furnace sections which will be used at temperatures up to 2200F. Its fusion point is 2462F. (Orton Cone Test). It is prepared in the same way as Moldit-A. Light Weight Moldit #80 weighs 80 lbs. per cu. ft. installed. It is packed in 100-lb. bags. Directions for mixing are shown on a Brown Tac, attached to each bag. LIGHT WEIGHT MOLDfT #55 This cement has somewhat lower refractory but better insulating properties than Light Weight Moldit #80. Otherwise, its thermal properties are much the same as those of Light Weight Moldit #80. Light Weight Moldit #55 weighs about 55 lbs. per cu. ft. installed. It is packed in 60-lb. bags. Directions for mixing are shown on a White Tac, attached to each bag. MoldH-HT Moldit-HT Cement is a super-duty castable refrac tory, made for high temperature service to 2900F. fusion point--3092F.K It has excellent resistance to spalling, with no shrinkage at temperatures to 2000F. Because it can carry full load under high temperatures, it senes as an excellent substitute for super-duty fire brick and special refractor;' tile and shapes. It out lasts ordinary fire brick. Linings and shapes of all kinds, conveniently made with Moldit-HT as needed, eliminates carrying expen sive shapes in stock and minimizes delays. Moldit-HT is poured, troweled or gunnited in much the same manner as Moldit-D. For pouring, it should be mixed with 8 qts. (16 lbs.) of water per 100 lbs. of dry rentent. Moldit-HT weighs 120 lbs. per cu. ft. cured and dry. It is packed in 100 lb. bags. Directions for mixing are shown on a Robin's Ecc Blue Tac, attached to each bag. MOLDfT-f Moldit-B Cement is made especially for use as a plaster for large patching jobs. It has the same non shrinking, mechanical and thermal characteristics as Moldit-A and is slightly adhesive. Water has no harm ful effect on Moldit-B surfaces. Mixed with 11V: qts. of water per 100 lbs. to a thick, pasty mass, it becomes particularly suitable for tamp ing into large holes or areas broken away or eroded in service as in patching back of water walls and tubes of boilers. It weighs 110 lbs. per cu. ft. of construction. Directions for mixing are on Orance Tac attached to each bag. Ugh* Weight Moldit #35 It serves as an excellent combination refractory and insulating fill and seal that can withstand temperatureto 2000F. It weighs 35 lbs. per cu. ft. installed. Light Weight Moldit #35 is packed dry in 40 lb. bags. It is mixed with 21 qts. (42 lbs.) of water per bag, sufficient to flow, and poured into place. A Dark Green Tac, attached to each bag, gives complete direc tions for mixing. GENERAL APPLICATIONS Specific Recommendation* Made on Request.

These cements are ready-prepared, pure, plastic mixtures of uniform granular texture. They air set to full strength. Their shrinkage before firing is very small. Their resistance to heat penetration and spalling due to sudden temperature changes is very high. R & I Bonding Cements are matchless for adhesiveness. They pro duce joints that are stronger than-the brick itself. There is no cracking or breaking of the bond to cause heat losses through refractory wall and destruction of backing insulation, or to allow heat to get in between joints, one of the causes of spalling. Thus, because of their ability to withstand severe firing conditions and flame erosion, the use of R & I Bonding Cements assures increased life of refractories and reduced "outage" and maintenance cost. Several types of R & I Refractory Cement are available to best meet specific physical and thermal conditions. The jambs of t coke oven down for repairs, being patched with Super #3000 Cement.

Where other refractories fail, this Cement is giving extraordinary results in cases of abrasion and other severe refrac tory service conditions. This ready-mixed, plastic, dense, air-setting mortar sets extremely hard and bonds very strong. With a fusion point above 3000 deg. F. -and its remarkable resistance to wear at both high and low temperatures, it has found wide acceptance for applications where service is severe. R & I Super #3000 Refractory Cement is excellent for setting new fire brick and fire tile and for hot or cold patching of worn fire clay, silica or other super brick in walls, floors and arches of furnaces, in soaking pits, ladles, etc. When laying refractory brick or tile, joints can be made as thick as desired because R & I Super #3000 sets hard with little or no shrink age, holding the brick wela-tight. It can also be thinned to a creamy mix to make the thinnest possible joints. A still thinner mix permits its use as a wash coating which preserves and extends the life of refrac tory surfaces. Super #3000 is used extensively in coke ovens for both hot and cold patching of cracks and spalls in liner bricks, leaks in roofs, and for laying up or rebuilding the ends of the regenerator division and front face walls. The floors in coke ovens are a continuous source of trouble in practically all coke plants and Super #3000 has proved successful for patching or pouring a new surface on the floors of troublesome ovens. It can also be used around charging holes, gas gun blocks, regenerator faces and lasts two to three times as long as other refractory cement in jamb patches. It has also proved a valuable protective refractory covering over the insulation of inside duct lining to provide the best possible resistance to high temperature, abrasion and erosion of gases. Troweled as a thick paste to the required thickness over expanded metal lath and insulation, it dries to a flint-like hardness. Because of its abrasion-resistant qualities. Super #3000 has given excellent service when applied over expanded metal wire, which has been welded to the worn plates of induced draft fan housings where the abrasion is most severe. This method of taking care of this kind of wear has reduced the expense of maintenance to practically nothing. Coke ven lloor repaired with Super *3000 Cement while still hot. without expensive labor. l*sinp Super -3000 hat saved the plant $10,000 in a short time. c ce/hi (F) 33211 R ft I #3000 REFRACTORY CEMENT A pioneer and one of the most extensively used refractory cements in industry, R & I #3000 is a top quality, aluminum silicate base, ready mixed, -y plastic refractory material that air sets at normal temperatures and gains full strength without heat. It maintains its full strength under all operating conditions, withstanding intermittent firing and the expansion and contrac tion of refractory walls, high temperatures, flame impingement and other destructive heating conditions better than the fire brick, tile, block or other linings for which it is used. The bond produced by a thin joint of #3000 Cement is actually stronger than the brick itseif. The finely milled particles of #3000 pene trate into the brick pores and set extremely hard. It withstands high temperatures as well as #1 Fire Brick. Even for repairing worn or broken brickwork, the application of #3000 adds long periods of service since its strong bond prevents bulging, breaking or falling out of the patch. Spraying of the refractory surface with an easily diluted coat of #3000 or wash-coating with a corn broom before firing, greatly prolongs the life of brick and joints. As shown in the table of physical data two types of #3000 Cement are available: Type B has a somewhat lower working and fusion tempera ture but is stickier, creamier and generally easier material to use for thin joints. Type C is preferred by many users for its advantage of higher tem perature resistance and its thicker consistency more suitable for trowelling. Conveniently Packed -- R & I #3000 Refractory Cement is a soft, plastic material packed in air-tight, heavy gauge steel drums containing 200 and 80 lbs., and in steel pails containing 30 and 30 lbs., ready for immediate use. Opened drums need only have the re maining contents covered with one-half inch of fresh water and then covered to retain the cement's full bonding quality. matter. If a cold patch is to be made, wet the chipped out section with water and apply R & I #3000 Cement, being sure to press it firmly into place. If a hot patch is to be made, apply #3000 with a slice bar or patch ing tool and press it into place firmly. If cement spray ing equipment i> available, spray the cement into place until it reaches the desired thickness. HOW TO USE R & I #3000 For Thin Joints -- Dilute R & I Refractory Cement to a heavy cream (batter) by adding about two quarts of water to every hundred pounds of cement. Mix thoroughly. Dip brick in the batter, so the surfaces of brick which come in contact with other brick or parts of the furnace structure will be covered with a thin coating of cement. Lay the brick in place and tamp with a trowel or mallet to obtain a good thin joint. For Loose or Falling Brick -- If the brick are still in good condition, clean them thoroughly of all dirt, slag, old cement, etc. Re-lay these same brick with R & I #3000 Cement, being careful to place the "un used" side on the working surface of the new wall. When the re-laying is complete, wash-coat the entire surface. Cement that squeezes out of the joints should be troweled back over the brick as an added protection against firing temperatures. After the brickwork is complete, dip an old broom in the batter and washcoat the entire refractory surface of the brickwork. This will fill up the pores in the brick and materially retard spalling. For Repair Work -- U alls of combustion chambers, fire doors and other brickwork that have become eroded by flame impingement should be patched with R & I #3000 Cement. If the erosion has just started prompt action will frequently save the setting. For either hot or cold patching, clean the burned out section by chipping away all slag, old cement or foreign Interior of licpe I,oiler ,liowin|t fire brick wall, bonded with R I I , 3000 Refractory Cement.

It is used extensively in acid type electric furnaces for patching jambs and spouts, and for ladles and on other steel mill furnaces where acid slag is produced. For such patching work, Reeco is diluted with water and mixed in the proportion of 40% Reeco with 60% Ganister. For patching under the roof of electric furnaces, the brick must be first washeoated with a Reeco batter and then patched with a mixture of 50% Reeco and 50% Silica sand. For lining large ladles, the brick should be set with Reeco Cement and then washeoated. R & I JAMB PATCH Jamb Patch is a very sticky plastic cement specially made for patching the cracks which develop between the jamb castings and the ends of the first walls of coke ovens.

It maintains its full strength under all operating conditions, withstanding intermittent firing and the expansion and contrac tion of refractory walls, high temperatures, flame impingement and other destructive heating conditions better than the fire brick, tile, block or other linings for which it is used. The bond produced by a thin joint of #3000 Cement is actually stronger than the brick itself. The finely milled particles of #3000 pene trate into the brick pores and set extremely hard. It withstands high temperatures as well as # 1 Fire Brick. Even for repairing worn or broken brickwork, the application of # 3000 adds long periods of service since its strong bond prevents bulging, breaking or falling out of the patch. Spraying of the refractory surface with an easily diluted coat of # 3000 or wash-coating with a corn broom before firing, greatly prolongs the life of brick and joints. As shown in the table of physical data (on reverse side I, two types of #3000 Cement are available: Type B has a somewhat lower working and fusion temperature but is stickier, creamier and generally easier material to use for thin joints. Type C is preferred by many users for its advantage of higher temperature resistance and its thicker consistency more suitable for trowelling. HOW TO USE R & I #3000 For Tfcia Joint* -- Thin #3000 Cement to a heavy cream (hatter) by add ing about 2 quarts of water to every 100 pounds of cement. Mix thoroughly. Dip brick in the batter, so the surfaces of brick which come in contact with other brick or parts of the furnace structure will be covered with a thin coating of cement. Lay the brick in place and tamp with a trowel or mallet to obtain a good thin joint. Packed in air-tight, heavy gauge steel drums containing 200 and 100 lbs, and in steel pails containing 30 and 30 lbs, ready for immediate use. Cement that squeezes out of the joints should be troweled hack over the brick as an added protection against firing temperatures. After the brickwork is complete, dip an old hrooin in the batter and washcoat the entire refractory surface of the brickwork. This will fill up the {sores in the brick and materially retard spalling. For Repair Work and Patching -- Walls of combus tion chambers, fire doors and other brickwork that have become eroded by flame impingement should be patched with R & I #3000 Cement. If the erosion has just started prompt action will frequently save the setting. For hot or cold patching, clean the burned out sec tion by chipping away all slag, old cement or foreign matter. For cold patching, wet the chipped out section with water and apply #3000 Cement, being sure to press it firmly into place. For a hot patch, apply #3000 with a slice bar or patching tool and press it into place firmly. If cement spraying equipment is available, spray the cement into place until it reaches the desired thickness. For Loose or Falling Brick -- If the brick are still in good condition, clean them thoroughly of all dirt. slag, old cement, etc. Re-lay these same brick with #3000 Cement, being careful to place the "unused" side on the working surface of the new wall. When the re-lay ing is complete, wash-coat the entire surface. CS- N h e |e |0 3 REFRACTORY & INSULATION CORPORATION MANUFACTURERS OF REFRACTORY R0NDIN6 AND CASTARLE CEMENTS.

It is used extensively in acid type electric furnaces for patching jambs and spouts, and for ladles and on other steel mill furnaces where acid slag is produced. For such patching work, Reeco is diluted with water and mixed in the proportion of 40% Reeco with 60% ganister. For patching under the roof of electric furnaces, the brick must be first waahcoated with a Reeco batter and then patched with a mixture of 50% Reeco and 50% Silica sand. For lining large ladles, the brick should be set with Reeco Cement and then washcoated. R & I JAMB PATCH Jamb Patch is a very sticky plastic cement specially made for patching the cracks which develop between the jamb castings and the ends of the first walls of coke ovens. It may be rammed or troweled in place or mixed with water to the consistency of a heavy cream and shot into these cracks with a cement gun. For best results the cement should be first mixed with silica flour in equal proportions. Jamb Patch bonds readily with iron jamb castings and the brick work at the end of the first oven flue wall.

For example, on the heat transmission chart (below), if a hot face temperature of 750 deg. F. is assumed and a cool face of insulation at 138 deg. F. is wanted, follow 750 deg. on horizontal scale of chart upward to hori zontal line from 138 deg. at left. Where the two lines intersect, find 2 *4' of block as the nearest covering thickness required. To find the heat loss, extend hori zontal line to right and read about 121 B.t.u. per sq. ft. per hr.

R * I Blanket Inflation U made in both standard and special sites. Curved or irregular shapes and blan kets with cut-outs can be famished in accordance with blueprints. For operating temperatures to 900 deg. F* R. & I Mineral Fibre Blankets offer a moat economical, effi cient insulation for flat or curved surfaces. large or small. Experience shows that this type of insulation combines the advantages of lower heat conductivity, greater durability and flexibility of application at lower cost than other types of insulation in the temperature range for which it is recommended. HIGH QUALITY R & I Insulating Blankets are made of long mineral fibres which aggregate into a soft, flexible, dean, white wool of uniform consistency. This wool is treated to improve its resilience and flexibility and then is lami nated and rolled into sheets about thick. A blanket is built up to the desired thickness by a series of layers of these laminated sheets, then compressed and wire stitched under pressure so as to make it uniformly dense, smooth and firm. This exclusive R & I method produces a superior insulation because 1--It avoids the usual unevenness of wool distribution through packing of bulk loose wool onto expand ed metal or of single slabs of wool inserted be tween layers of wire mesh or lath. 2--The laminated or precompressed layers of R & I Blankets cannot slide or open up holes which pro duce hot spots when in service. 3--The edges of the R & I Blanket are sharp and can be butted closely against each other for tight fit over the hot surface. 4--The R & I Blanket is light in weight--containing no inefficient binder; yet it is strong and flexible. It is so tough that the wires could be removed and the inserted wool handled without tearing. 5--R & I Blankets are dean, white and attractive in appearance. LOW HEAT CONDUCTIVITY R & I Blanket Insulation has a greater overall effi ciency over a greater range than other types of insula tion, whether they be in the low or high temperature class. Its conductivity per inch of thickness at mean temperature is less than that of air cell, 85% Magnesia or high temperature insulating block and is about 10% more efficient than other types of mineral wool blankets. STRONG -- DURABLE R & I Blankets combine strength and serviceability through proper packing, laminating and reinforcement with tie wires between either wire mesh, expanded metal lath or special rib lath, depending on whether flexibility or rigidity is required in the finished blan kets. They do not fray at the edges, peal, crack, break, dust or settle down in shipment or installation, main taining their full body and thickness under all normal service conditions. R & I Blankets are fireproof, verminproof, resistant to moisture and to sound transmission. REFRACTORY A INSULATION CORPORATION MANUFACTURERS OF REFRACTORY BONDtNO AND CASTABLE CEMENTS.

They may be either flexed over curved surfaces or placed against flat surfaces, without need for addi tional wire mesh or other fabrics to hold the inauiation in place. Adjacent blanketa are brought together eaaily and quickly, the edges bonding to make a tight heat aeal. They may be cut to fit around special shapes or obstructions. Furthermore, where it is necessary, by using metal lath with ribs (of any height desired) turned ont from the blanket face, an air space may be obtained between the hot surface and inauiation. Since the wool does not project through the wire lath, the wire surface preaenta a far better anchor for finish coats of cement. The most widely successful method of applying blan kets is to spot weld wires to the metal aurface to be inaulated on 14' centers, allowing these wires to lay flat againat the metal until ready to apply the blankets. Then the wires are bent upright or at right angles to their original position and the blanket pressed against them, forcing the wires through the blanket ao that at least a 2' length protrudes beyond the outside surface of the blanket. These protruding wires may then be bent down tightly againat the blanket, holding it firmly against the metal surface to be insulated. The old method of tying the blankets to the surface to be in sulated by means of wires or cables can also be used. Super-Finish Stic-Tite, a hard, durable, adheaive coating may be applied in one coat directly on the ex panded metal lath on the outside of the blanket. A thickness of cement is recommended. No primary or roughing coat is required. The one cement application may be troweled to an exceptionally smooth, glossyfinish. Where waterproofing is necessary,- the application of R & I Weatherkote is recommended. 0114161 CE/HI (F) 33226 R A I Style B Mineral Fibre blanket! in*tailed an the ducts of a large boiler.

EASY TO APPLY lta plastic consistency makes it easy to mold Stic-Tite around pipes, flanges, over or under equipment, dif. ficult places and into difficult shapes. It may be molded by hand or troweled. No special skill is needed to apply. Stic-Tite contains no harmful ingredients, hence it is perfectly safe to handle with bare hands. Stic-Tite dries to a one-piece, seamless, jointless covering which does not. permit loss of heat. It makes a clean, smooth finish requiring no other finishing coat. It may be sized or painted. It can be first applied as a roughing coat and later troweled to a smooth finish with the same material from the same batch. While not waterproof in itself, Stic-Tite may be easily and efficiently waterproofed with R & I Weatherkote. BETTER COVERAGE Because Stic-Tite dries with a minimum of shrinkage in thickness, less of it is required to provide the re quired insulation than of other insulating cements. An inch of Stic-Tite applied wet remains practically an inch thick when dry. Since it remains tough, flex ible and resilient as it dries out, any tendency to contract, shrink and crack is minimized. Mixed and applied as directed, Stic-Tite covers 43 sq. ft. per inch of thickness per 100 lbs. of material used. Stic-Tite can be readily applied over tbe asrface to tbe . desired thickness. Note bow smoothly and completely it is molded around tbe fittings and openings of this water gat generator. FULLY RECLAIMABLE Stic-Tite need never be discarded, even when re moved from equipment for repairs or alterations be cause it can be used over again without loss of material or insulating efficiency. Where previously used for temperatures up to 900FM it is only necessary to crush and mix the old Stic-Tite with clean water and the cement is ready for remolding. Where used at higher temperatures, it is advisable to add an equal part of new Stic-Tite to the reclaimed material.

MORE ECONOMICAL Because of Stic-Tite's ease of application on irreg ular surfaces, at well as large or small fiat or curved surfaces or for patching other insulations, labor cost is relatively low. It sticks to hot or cold surfaces read ily, hence the expense of supporting or reinforcing wires is eliminated in most cases, making a uniformly efficient covering that keeps heat losses at a minimum and assures maintenance of desired temperatures in the equipment insulated. Stic-Tite is an indestructible investment. It is much lower in cost than insulating blankets or block. 114165 CE/HI (F) 33230 No matter bow irregular the surface, ai in this job, Stie-Tite ia pat on witboat reinforcement or expensive labor.

Follow the hot lace temperature (bottom of chart) ver tically until it intersects the line connecting the cool face (left band column) or Ban. loss (right hand column). Use the amount of Stic-Tite indicated on the Stic-Tite curve nearest the point of intersection. For example, assume operating temperature is S2S*F. and a cool face of 139* or 126 Ban. loss is desired. Follow the 825* line vertically until it intersects the horisontal 139* and 126 Bxa. lost lines. The intersection is neareM the 3%' Stic-Tite curve. Therefore, 3Vi" of Stic-Tite should be need. At the same oper ating temperature if a cool fare of 124* or Ban. loaa of 96 is desired, the intersection would be neareM the 5' Stic-Tite curve.

If hot anrfaoea are to be inaulated with Stic-Tite, the material abould 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 be tween the spots. .6 On cold surfaces for covering up to 1)4" thick, after being mixed according to directions on the bag, Stic-Tite should be applied by spreading it over the surface to as even a thickness as possible. After rough coat has dried out, a finish coat up to )4" 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)4" thick with out reinforcing. 7. For covering over 1)4" thick, apply a rough coat about 1" thick. When rough coat is dry apply an* other 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 1" mesh chicken wire. 8 Finish coats should be applied from )" to U" thick troweled to a smooth hard finish. Where de sired, Stic-Tite finish can be painted. Best results are obtained by painting with a glue sizing and paint over this. 9.

Super Finish Stic-Tite can easily be applied to full thickness over other insulations in one coat, finishing very smooth without need for supplementary pointing up or patching after the cement has dried out. Being a finish that can be troweled smooth in one coat, considerable time and labor ore saved in eliminating the roughing coat. Super Finish Stic-Tite has little or no shrinkage; hence it dries hard, without cracking, in about 2 hours. It can be applied directly to cold or warm metal or brick surfaces up to 175'F. When applied to hotter surfaces, a base coat of regular Stic-Tite is recommended. Super Finish Stic-Tite truly sticks tight the moment the wet cement is troweled on, even on overhead surfaces, so that the work man can easily work the material to a smooth finish. And it stays on for keeps, bonding to the insulating blankets, block or other insulation surfaces permanently. Its hard finish provides good resistance to moderate impact and abrasion and to moisture. Hence it is used extensively on outside equipment. For protection against weather, however, a covering of R & I Weatherkote is desirable. The surface of Super Finish SticTite is well suited to painting. Unlike ordinary insulation finishes. Super Finish Stic-Tite is light, weighing only 30 lbs. per cu. ft. It provides excellent insulation at temperatures up to 1700'F. In material economy, it goes a long way. One hundred lbs. will cover an^80 sq. ft. surface J/t" thick or 120 sq. ft. %' thick or 160 sq. ft. '4' thick.

To the right it teen on additional light coat ot Weatherkote mixed with sharp sand, troweled to a smooth finish. Weatherkote is a mixture of asphalt emulsion and long fibred asbestos of heavy plastic consistency for applying over the insulation of heating equipment exposed to the outdoors. Its elasticity prevents cracking even tinder extreme variations in temperature. It serves as an added means of insulation and for preventing air infiltration. Weatherkote is easy to apply. The surface to be covered should be swept clean and fr<*e of loose particles. Then apply chicken wire directly over the insulated surface drawing it tightly to the insulation before applying Weatherkote. Weatherkote should be mixed with 25% clean sharp sand and applied over the wire to a thickness of approximately V4" and troweled off smooth. Where a very smooth surface is desired, plain Weatherkote can then be lightly troweled over the material which has been mixed with sand for a very smooth finish. For a coating which must be resistant to abrasion, hard use and even walking, Weatherkote can be mixed with one part by volume of clean sharp sand.
