711 INSULATING CEMENT
Detrick 711 Insulating Cement is a dry mixture of high tempera ture mineral wool fibers, specially processed with other ingredients to produce a "plastic'' insulation for use on heated equipment. The dry material is ready to mix with water to a mud-like consistency, for application on equipment to be operated at temperatures up to
Uses and Advantages
711 Insulating Cement has excellent workability and adhesion. It is suitable for application by both trowel and gun methods. Applied over block or Blanket insulations, it fills open joints and provides a monolithic surface for any subsequent finish. It is used on valves, fittings, and other irregular surfaces by building it up to the re quired total thickness.
711 Insulating Cement assures maximum coverage and low shrink age. The resilient balls of mineral wool do not collapse when mixed with water. (See table of physical properties). After 711 Insulating Cement has dried, the myriad tiny air cells entrapped in the wool nodules impart a high thermal value, with exceptional resistance to heat transfer.

Uses and Advantages
Utility Finish Cement develops a smooth, hard, protective finish a few hours after application, without the presence of heat.
Subsequent drying produces no excessive surface cracking or shrinkage in thickness. A second coat is needed only when multiple layer thicknesses are specified. Occasional wetting does no damage after initial hydraulic set. Utility Finish has good wet adhesion to clean steel surfaces. Reinforcement with wire mesh netting can often be eliminated.
Jobs are easier to schedule; scaffolding costs are reduced.
Detrick Utility Finish Cement is a hydraulic setting, combination insulating and finishing cement, designed for use on heated equip ment of all types, and valves, fittings, etc. Most commonlv used as a single layer finish over block ana blanket insulations. For temp eratures up to 1200 F.

PYROSCAT*
fireproofing cement
Detrick Pyroscat is a special formulation of high temperature aggregates, fibers, hydraulic binders, and other materials, factory blended to a uniform dry mixture. It is ready for application when mixed with water at the job site, and can be applied by spraying, casting, or troweling, as job conditions require or permit.
Uses and Advantages
Pyroscat provides a lightweight, fire retardant, protective treat ment for structural steel columns, beams, tourer skirts. LP gas tanks, and other exposed applications. Pyroscat sets up as a hard, durable sheatn capable of withstanding for hours the 2000 F flame temperatures and high pressure water streams commonly encountered in industrial fires.
Recommended Thicknesses
Fire retardant materials are normally rated in hours, based on thickness used and method of application. Thus, fire ratings for steel columns represent the hours required for heat from a standard ASTM fire to penetrate the protective treatment and raise the steel column temperature to a critical level (1200 F). The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a material are of some importance in fire tests, 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.
Recommended Pyroscat thicknesses were determined by physical tests on a series of sprayed, cast, and troweled applications, in cluding direct exposure to 100 psi hose pressure both before and after exposure to severe flame conditions.
