Morflo 170

Description
A 1700°C grade, low cement castable with exceptional high fluidity,
allowing installation of the most intricate shapes with minimal
vibration. Exhibits ultra high strengths, low porosity and excellent
abrasion resistance for improved service life.

Applications
• Forge furnace hearths
• Door jambs, lintels and piers
• Cartops
• Rotary kiln nose rings, retainer rings and dams
• Rotary hearth curbs
• Walking beam furnace hearth, pusher furnace hearths
• Skid pipe protection
Features and Benefits
• Ultra high-strength low cement monolithics
• Low porosity
• Excellent abrasion resistance

Precautions
This must be installed under closely controlled
conditions using mechanical mixers and vibration. The
resultant concrete has a dense, low permeability
structure and care must be exercised during initial
heating. At top water material can be placed at
minimum or no vibration.
