Product Information

Plibrico’s Plicast® Si-Bond M Al is a mullite based, cementless castable enhanced for resistance to aluminum reaction and flux attack.  This material contains a minimal amount of lime and other alkalis making its matrix highly resistant to high temperature fluxing.  In aluminum contact and non-contact applications it provides the following benefits:

  • Excellent resistance to aluminum attack and corundum growth even at elevated temperatures
  • High, consistent hot strength from the aluminum melt range to high temperature >2300oF
  • Enhanced mineralogy and low porosity for improved flux and alkali resistance
  • Quicker bake out than reduced cement castable options

Available Internationally As: Plico® Castable Si-Bond M Al

Service Temperature Limit

3100°F

Installation Method

Casting

Shelf Life

4 Months

Industries

Pulp & Paper, Waste-To-Energy, Incineration, Aluminum, Off Gas

Best Applications

As a primary lining material in high alkali environments (slag or gas) or in contact with moderately basic slags.  Applications include:

  1. Black liquor boilers
  2. Cement kiln preheaters
  3. Incinerators and thermal oxidizers
  4. Biomass furnaces – slag zones

Product Information

Plicast® Si-Bond SP is a high alumina based, cement less castable, modified with a magnesium aluminate spinel addition.   This castable was specifically developed for enhanced resistance to high alkali slags and alkali vapor attacks.   In lab alkali slag cup tests versus more traditional high alumina cement bonded castable both with and without spinel additions, Plicast Si-Bond SP consistently:

  • Retained slag
  • Resisted alkali bursting – all cement bonded castables routinely burst due alkali absorption

These results were confirmed by independent testing at Missouri S&T (Rolla) in a DOE funded project for black liquor gasifiers.

Plicast Si-Bond SP out performed all other commercial castables tested in this project.   As a result, there have been very successful commercial applications in black liquor boilers.   In addition to its outstanding alkali resistance, Plicast Si-Bond SP also exhibits exceptional hot strength up through 2500°F.

Product Information: Plicast® Si-Bond M is a mullite based, cementless castable. Since it contains a minimal amount of lime and other alkalis, it’s matrix is resistant to high temperature fluxing. Plicast Si-Bond M also offers better resistance to slags that are acidic to neutral, as well as alkali attacks than a low or even ultra-low cement castables of a similar chemistry. Other product characteristics and benefits include:

  • Excellent resistance to aluminum attack and corundum growth even at elevated temperatures
  • High hot strength above 1500°F to 2500°F and above
  • Enhanced mineralogy and low porosity for improved slag alkali resistance
  • Good refractoriness under load
  • Very good abrasion resistance
  • Good volume stability
  • Moderate thermal conductivity
  • Quicker bake out than reduced cement castable options
  • Plicast Si-Bond M has good flow and setting characteristics allowing it to be place by vibration, casting or pumping.

Product Information: Plicast® Si-Bond™ B is a high alumina cementless castable.   Based on a bauxite aggregate, this material contains a minimal amount of lime and other alkalis, rendering it’s matrix very resistant to high temperature fluxing.   In addition, Plicast Si-Bond B is more resistant to slags (acidic through neutral) and alkali attacks than a low or ultra-low cement castables of a similar chemistry.   Other product characteristics and benefits include:

  • High hot strength 1500°F to 2500°F, and above
  • High alumina mineralogy and low porosity for improved slag resistance
  • Resistant to alkali vapor attack
  • Good refractoriness under load
  • Very good abrasion resistance: 9cc per ASTM C704
  • Good volume stability
  • Quicker bake out than reduced cement castable options

Plicast Si-Bond B has good flow and setting characteristics allowing it to be place by vibration, casting or pumping.
