Product Information
Plicast® HyMOR® 70 KK is a mullite based cement castable with a modified matrix and grain sizing. This castable was developed for applications requiring additional thermal shock resistant than our Plicast HyMOR 3100 Special KK. Originally intended for higher temperature applications in the steel industry, its strength profile and thermal cycling characteristics make it ideal for many high temperature cyclic applications. These characteristics include:
- Hot strength at elevated temperatures
- Low abrasion loss
- 30-50% better strength retention when thermally cycled above 2200°F as compared to Plicast HyMOR 3100 Special KK
Plicast HyMOR 70 KK also has good flow and setting characteristics allowing it to be place by vibration, casting or pumping.
