Description

Lightweight High-Alumina Insulating Castable

Material System & Positioning

Lightweight high-alumina insulating castable uses high-alumina lightweight aggregate, with bulk density 1.30 g/cm³, thermal conductivity ≤0.45 W/(m·K) at 800℃ and service up to 1400℃. It combines insulation with structural strength, formed monolithically on site without joints. It is Henan Songrui's economical grade for boiler, duct and pipe insulation.

Key Performance

  • Low thermal conductivity: cuts heat loss and energy consumption.
  • Lightweight: reduces structural load on furnace steelwork.
  • Jointless: monolithic casting, no heat leakage through joints.
  • Moderate temperature: up to 1400℃ covering most insulation duties.
  • Easy installation: light mixing and pouring.

Applications

  • Power Boilers: boiler wall insulation, cyclone insulation, duct and ESP insulation.
  • Steel & Iron: reheating furnace wall/roof insulation, hot blast stove shell insulation.
  • Non-ferrous: aluminum cell side insulation, copper furnace shell insulation.
  • Petrochemical: heater wall insulation, tank and pipe insulation.

Selection Advice

Lightweight insulating castables serve as backup insulation, not for direct flame/slag contact—pair with a dense working lining on the hot face. For insulation above 1400℃ choose lightweight mullite grade; for low-temperature zones perlite/ceramsite grades are more economical.

Installation & Maintenance

Mix and pour gently to avoid aggregate breakage; heat up slowly per the low-temperature curve to prevent rapid steam release. Construction and drying guidance available.

Typical Applications

Lightweight high-alumina insulating castable combines insulation with strength:

  • Power Boilers: boiler wall insulation layers, cyclone insulation, duct and ESP insulation.
  • Steel & Iron: reheating furnace wall/roof insulation, hot blast stove shell insulation.
  • Non-ferrous: aluminum cell side insulation, copper furnace shell insulation.
  • Petrochemical: heater wall insulation linings, tank and pipe insulation.
  • Advantage: low density (0.8-1.3 g/cm³), low thermal conductivity, service up to 1350℃.

FAQs

Purpose of lightweight insulating castable?

Reduces heat loss and energy consumption as backup insulation behind working linings, up to 1350℃.

Density of lightweight insulating castable?

Typically 0.8-1.3 g/cm³ with low thermal conductivity, balancing insulation and strength.

Can it face flame directly?

Mainly for insulation backup, not for direct flame/slag contact; pair with a dense working lining on the hot face.
