Product Information

Plicast Al-Shield 2765 KK is a 56% alumina low cement castable with a modified matrix incorporating a high temperature aluminum resistant additive system.   This product was originally developed to meet a large aluminum fabricators specification.   During development, the product was found to not only meet the aluminum contact resistance requirements at elevated temperatures, but also to have other physical characteristic advantages.   Plicast Al-Shield 2765 KK product advantages include:

• Good aluminum reaction/wetting resistance to 2000°F
• Relatively high, constant hot MOR from 1500° to 2000°F as compared to other aluminum contact castables
• Excellent hot fracture, wear and impact resistance
• Improved thermal cycling resistance

These characteristics have led Plicast Al-Shield 2765 KK to be a “standard go to product” in many areas of Plibrico designed/specified aluminum furnaces and systems.
