Low Cement Castables
SUGGESTED HEATING PROCEDURES
for RESCO LOW, ULTRA-LOW, AND NO CEMENT CASTABLES
The following schedule is recommended for Resco Products' Low, Ultra-Low, and No Cement Castables. Controlled release of water in
the castable is necessary to prevent possible build-up of steam pressure and potential steam spalling. Heating can be done before or
during unit start-up.
The following schedule is recommended FOR SINGLE COMPONENT LININGS UP TO 9” THICK.
1.
At anytime following the initial 24 hour curing period, raise the temperature to 300 oF (149oC).
2.
Hold at 300oF (149oC) for 1½ hours per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness up to a maximum period of 8 hours.
3.
Raise temperature at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour to operating temperature or 1000oF (540oC), whichever is less.
If the operating temperature is above 1000oF (540oC), then heat at a rate of 100ºF (56oC) per hour from 1000oF (540oC) to operating
temperature if the lining is up to 6” thick (152 mm); heat at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour from 1000oF (540oC) to operating temperature if the lining is 6” to 9” thick (152 mm to 229 mm).
If the unit is not going into operation, but will be cooled down, hold at the operating temperature for a minimum period of 1½ hours per
inch (25 mm) of lining thickness up to a maximum period of 8 hours.
The following schedule is recommended FOR SINGLE COMPONENT LININGS OVER 9” THICK.
1.
At anytime following the initial 24 hour curing period, raise the temperature to 300 oF (149oC) at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour.
2.
Hold at 300oF (149oC) for one hour per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness.
3.
Raise temperature at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour to 450oF (232oC).
4.
Hold at 450oF (232oC) for one hour per inch of lining thickness.
5.
Heat at a rate of 25ºF (14oC) per hour to 600oF (315oC).
6.
Hold at 600oF (315oC) for one hour per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness.
7.
Heat at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour to 1000oF (540oC).
8.
Hold at 1000oF (540oC) for one hour per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness.
If the unit is not going into operation, but will be cooled down, hold at the operating temperature for a minimum period of 1½ hours per
inch (25 mm) of lining thickness up to a maximum period of 8 hours.
NOTES:
If, for any reason, the heating schedule is interrupted by a loss of heat and/or power into the unit, Resco Products recommends
that the heating schedule be initiated from the beginning once power and/or heat is restored. At the end user or contractor’s
discretion, they may elect to attempt to restart the cycle and “stabilize” the lining temperature at the point of interruption. After the lining has been stabilized, the heat up cycle may be resumed as scheduled from that point on. Resco assumes no
liability for this procedure, as it is difficult to determine that point at which the entire lining is stable to prevent the possibility of
a steam spall.
Temperatures shown are measured at the hot face of the lining for in place heating.
Allow the lining to cool down naturally; do not exceed 100ºF (56oC) per hour.
The dry out of refractory entails more than just following a heating schedule. Issues such as burner sizing and location, exhaust
location, air volume and velocity, etc need to be addressed. Resco recommends that an experienced dry out company be
consulted.
Temperatures should be monitored at the refractory surface at several locations in the unit.
If steaming is observed at any time during the schedule, the temperature should be held constant until the steaming subsides.
The schedule can resume when steaming ends.
This schedule is recommended for situations where proper heating equipment and air circulation are used, weep holes
are present and unclogged, and the ambient temperature ranges from 60 o to 90oF. If all of these parameters are not
met, a more conservative dry out schedule is needed. Consult your Resco Products, Inc salesman, the RESCO website
(www.rescoproducts.com), or call 888.283.5505.

FURNACON™ 3000 is a high purity alumina low cement
castable designed for installation at or above the dross line
of aluminum-melting furnaces. It will resist molten aluminum penetration and reaction after exposure to temperatures as high as 3000°F, such as occur with thermiting of
magnesium containing drosses or overheating of the sidewalls.
FURNACON™ 50W is designed as a low cost refractory
to resist mild alloys. It is cost-effective in metal contact areas and where salt fluxes are used. FURNACON™ 50W is
available only in a winterized version for faster setting at
lower temperatures.
FURNACON™ 70 resists the most aggressive alloys, especially magnesium-containing aluminum alloys. It is a
cost-effective refractory for severe operating conditions. In
addition to its non-wetting properties, it has exceptional
strength and toughness to resist thermal and mechanical
abuse. It is one of the most widely used castables for lower sidewalls and aluminium furnace hearths. A winterized
version, FURNACON™ 70W, is available for fast-setting
at low temperatures.
FURNACON™ 95 resists spalling and cracking from thermal and mechanical abuse. Its high purity, high alumina
base makes it ideally suited for troughs and tapholes.
FURNA3™ 70 is a 74% alumina, non-wetting to aluminum,
low cement castable that can be vibration cast, self-flow
cast, or shotcreted. This product has excellent thermal
shock resistance to 2000ºF. It has been used for preformed blocks in an aluminum furnace and has been shotcreted in aluminum furnace upper and lower walls. Unlike
other FURNA3™ products, this product is recommended
for use only in aluminum furnace applications. Therefore,
its maximum non-metal contact use temperature is
2500ºF.
FURNA3™ 75 is a self-flowing, 76% alumina castable designed for non-wetting applications up to 2200°F. It can be
used for other applications up to 3000°F where increased
strength and abrasion resistance are needed.
FURNA3™ 65 is a self-flowing, 64% alumina castable designed for non-wetting applications up to 2200°F. It can be
used for other applications up to 3000°F where increased
strength and abrasion resistance are needed.
FURNA3™ 85 is an 85% alumina, non-wetting to aluminum, low cement castable designed to replace 85% alumina brick in aluminum furnaces. This product has exceptional strength and abrasion resistance particularly at
1500°F. It is also very strong and thermal shock resistant
at 1500ºF. It can be placed by vibration casting, self-flow
casting, or shotcreting. Its high strength and toughness
after shotcreting are ideal for aluminum furnace maintenance gunning or as an easy-to-install initial working lining.
VIBROCAST ® 80SCHP is an 80% SiC refractory material that uses low cement binder
technology. Its low porosity, excellent abrasion resistance and high heat transfer value
make this product an excellent choice for the tube walls in the combustion zones of power generating units. The high heat transfer characteristic of the SiC reduces surface
slagging and alkali build-up, thereby improving
the operating efficiency of your unit.
VIBROCAST ® 80SCHP is best applied by hand
packing.

provide high strength, and good thermal
shock and abrasion resistance. It offers
good slag resistance for severe applications up to 3000°F. In the laboratory, this
product has tested well for resistance to
CO (carbon monoxide) disintergration encountered in coke ovens and blast furnaces.
This product can be vibrated,
pumped, or shotcreted.
EZ3® 3200 is a shotcretable or selfflowing, low iron, 76% alumina, low cement castable designed to provide longer
service life and superior performance in
steel applications with temperatures up to
3200°F. It also has outstanding strength
and abrasion resistance. In laboratory
testing this product has shown excellent
resistance to CO atmospheres found in
coke ovens and blast furnaces.
EZ3® 3200 Fine is a slightly finer grain
size version of EZ3® 3200. It can be used
in the same applications, and it is recommended when pumping for long distances, particularly long vertical runs.

EZ3® 85 is an 85% alumina, low cement
castable that exhibits superior physical
properties when vibrated, poured, or shotcreted. The excellent thermal shock, corrosion, and abrasion resistance attributes
combined with other excellent physical
properties make this a premium product.
Normally, very high alumina containing
products are more difficult to shotcrete
due to higher rebounds. EZ3® 85 is remarkably easy to shotcrete and adheres
well at low water levels yielding superior
physical properties.
