Se^lfbfStu,ier PLICAST it a self-hardening or "castable" refractory material. Packed in dry farm, it it mixed with water and poured into formt or mouldt, totting to concrete like hardnett without the application of heat. Plicatt it eatily and quickly installed. It it poured into place in less time than it required to build up other types of refractory construction. Plicatt formt a mono lithic refractory lining that withstands moisture and abrasion as well as temperature. An important use for Plicatt is the casting of special refractory shapes such as burner blocks, gate tile, door liners, etc. By making simple moulds, any tile shape can be readily cast of Plicatt. This bulletin contains brief factual descriptions of thirteen grades of castable refractory material. Each grade has specific characteristics that are valuable in particular applications. The uses suggested for each grade merely indicate the wide range of services fei which each is suitable. The Plibrico organization will be pleated to give you further information or ad- _______ ___________ g vice an the selection and application of the most suitable grade of Plicast for any purpose. 13 GRADES with many valuable uses DISTRIBUTED AND INSTALLED BY Plibrico Go mpany 1800 North Kingsbury Street e Chicago 14, lllinoi REFRACTORY PRODUCTS ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTS P.C.E.

Packed in 100-lb. bags Plicast No. 27 is first-quality castable refractory material that has distinguished itself in numerous applications in its temperature range. It is ideally suited for lining the hotter passes in connection with water tube boilers, rear combustioo chambers in Scotch marine boilers, rear doors in two-pass boilers, and other severe services. It is used for lin ing garbage incinerators and rubbish burners. Plicast No.. 27 is the grade normally recom mended for making special refractory shapes. With a bag of No. 27 on hand, you can readily cast any refractory shape required right on the fob. No. 27 finds wide application in industrial fur naces. It is often used to line portable furnaces assembled at the factory, since it is not damaged or displaced in shipment. Plicast No. 27 may be subjected to heat 24 hours alter pouring. For pneumatic applications, use Plicast Hearth Cement, a finer grind with the same characteristics. Interior view ef Pllbrico I lined with Plicast No. 27, t IPOJlM'ff TROWL-MIX Has the same characteristics as Plicast No. 27 except that it is especially compounded for trowelling, and weighs 710 lbs. per cu. ft. Plicast Trowl-Mix has the same physical and refrac tory characteristics as Plicast No. 27 plus the spe cial quality of being readily trowelled into place. When mixed with water, it is semi-plastic in con sistency, will support its own weight and hold a de sired shape to a height of about 1 ft. without a form or mould. In a few minutes, it hardens to a point where an equal height may be installed above it. Trowl-Mix has many uses where a castable re* fractory material is indicated but where forms would be unwieldy or costly. It is convenient for making special shapes without the necessity of first making moulds. May be fired after 24 hours.

Pucast Hydro-Mix has the general characteristics of Plicast No. 27 with the added quality of higher resistance to moisture. This material is especially manufactured for lining hydraulic ashpits, where high refractoriness must be combined with maxi* mum moisture resistance. It is widely used for large stoker and pulverized coal burner ashpits in cen tral stations and big industrial plants. The construction of hydraulic ashpits ordinarily calls for irregular refractory contours, and HydroMix is easy to cast into any contour required. HydroMix has excellent resistance to abrasion and pro vides a smooth, even surface for clean sluicing. It sets hard and may be put into service 24 hours after installation. mom TUFF-MIX P.C.E. Cone 17 (2685* F.) Service Limit: 2500* F. Chemical Composition: AIs08--38%; SiOo--43% Weight: 115 lbs. per cu. ft. Packed in 100-lb. bags Pucast Tuff-Mix is a castable refractory material manufactured for exceptionally high strength. This property is particularly valuable in the temperature range of 1400-2200 deg. F., where the other grades of Plicast are somewhat inferior to Tuff-Mix in strength due to their bonding characteristics. The high strength of Tuff-Mix makes it ideal for annealing, hardening, and other types of heat-treat ing furnaces in which the lining is subjected to severe abrasion in charging the work. Tuff-Mix also finds application in the ashpits of water gas gen erators, furnace hearths, and other uses where maxi mum strength must be combined with good refrac toriness at intermediate temperatures. Tuff-Mix may be subjected to service 24 hours after being poured into place. Annealing furnace car lap covered with Plicast TuffMix, fer strength in the middle temperature range. HEARTH CEMEHT Has the same characteristics as Plicast No, 27, but finer grind. Packed in 100-lb. bags. BURNER-SET Has the same characteristics as Plicast No. 15, but finer grind. Packed in 50 and 100-Ib. bags. Pucast Hearth Cement is first-quality castable re fractory material similar to Plicast No. 27 but of finer grind. It is especially prepared far setting stokers and constructing combustion chambers for domestic and commercial oil and gas burners where a finer grind is desirable. This grade is also used for making pre-cast combustion chambers for oil burners and baffle plates for warm-air furnaces. In domestic service, Hearth Cement may be fired after 12 to 24 hours. Burner-Set is an economical grade of castable re fractory similar to Plicast No. IS but of finer grind for use with domestic stokers and oil and gas burn ers. This grade should stand for 24 hours before being fired. Stoker hearth in cannactlan with warm-air furnace. Can be cast out af Plicast Hearth Cement er iumer-Set. BAFFLE-MIX Weight 113 lbs. per cu. ft. Packed in 100-Ib. bags This material is especially formulated for patching and repairing monolithic baffles. It is a blend of the refractories most suitable for good service and con venient installation. , We are builders of the famous BecoTurner Baffle, shown opposite, which is distinguished by its patented expansion joints. We shall be pleased to quote on Beco-Tumer Baffles for baffle re placements or new boilers. SERVICING MATERIAL Service Limit: 2500* F. Packed in 100-Ib. bags This material is especially compounded for servicing and coating castable refractory lin ings. When the forms are removed from a castable refractory installation, Castkote may be used to fill in any voids or irregularities, giving a perfectly smooth surface. Castkote is also used to service any cracks that may develop in a castable lining or as a coating over a castable lining, in which case it should not be applied more than Vi in. thick. May be fired 24 hours after application. wm mmv:. L-W-I P.C.E. Cone 15-16 (2640* F.) Service Limit: 2450 F. Chemical Composition: AL.O.i--39%; Si02--39% Weight: 75 lbs. per cu. ft. Packed in 100-lb. bags Boiir breeching lined with l-W-l Plicast L-W-l is a duai*pux|>ose castable material that combines high insulating efficiency with refrac toriness adequate for numerous industrial applica tions. L-W-I is 45% lighter than fire brick with only one-third its heat conductivity. A 5-in. lining of Plicast L-W-I has approximately the same insulating value as 9 in. of fire brick or 12 in. of concrete. Plicast L-W-I has low heat storage capacity so heats up rapidly and cools off quickly. For this rea son* L-W-I is particularly effective for lining fur naces in intermittent operation such as heat-treating furnaces* industrial ovens* space heaters* oil and gas burners* etc. In these services* L-W-I saves the fuel wasted and time lost with ordinary refractory materials in hearing up the lining to necessary op erating temperature. The light weight of Plicast L-W-I is a big ad vantage in many applications such as lining large doors for industrial furnaces and incinerators, damp ers* ducts and breechings, marine applications, etc. An important application is the construction of the tube deck over the circulating tubes of water tube boilers. Within its temperature range, Plicast L-W-I is the ideal refractory for lining portable furnaces of any kind which are completely assembled at the factory* as its light weight saves shipping cost. Pitcast L-W-I may be subjected to heat 24 hours after being poured iato place.

Chemical Composition: Ala03--31 %? Si02--46% Weight: 82 (bs. per cu. ft. Packed in 100-lb. bags Plicast Tuff-Lite is a light-weight* insulating castable refractory especially formulated to maintain an exceptionally high strength throughout its entire temperature range. Tuff-Lite is ideal for furnace linings where both strength and insulating quality are requisites* such as in heat-treating furnaces subjected to rough handling and mechanical shock, also for car tops* hearths, door linings* etc.* espe cially if operating in the temperature range of 1400* 2200 deg. F. Tuff-Lite finds application for any purpose re quiring the fuel-saving properties of an insulating castable with exceptionally high strength for re sistance to shock and abrasion. It is unequalled for lining numerous furnaces in the industrial heating field. May be fired 24 hours after pouring. VERILITE Service Limit: 1500* F. Mineral Base Weight: 40 lbs. per cu. ft. Packed in 50-Ib. bags Verilite is an insulating castable of extremely light weight made with an insulating mineral base. Due to its insulating efficiency and structural economy* it offers important savings for tube decks (shown at right), duct and breeching linings* backing up tangent-tube water walls, lining low-temperature furnaces, covering H.R.T. boiler shells, or other applications where insulating qualities are needed but temperatures do not exceed 1500 deg. and abrasion is not present. The insulating value of Verilite is approximately twice that of lightweight fire brick and four to five times that of standard fire brick. Its strength is ex ceptional for a material weighing ooly 40 lbs. per cu. ft., and entirely adequate for any of the appli cations recommended. Verilite is available in two grinds: one for pneumatic application, the other for pouring or trowelling. May be fired after 48 hours.
