Product Information
Plicast® Al-Shield™ 3223 C KK is the coarse aggregate version of Plicast Al-Shield 2765 KK. This low cement, aluminum resistant castable, utilizes a super coarse bauxite aggregate with the same modified matrix and high temperature aluminum resistant additive system as its non-coarse brother, 2765 KK. While maintaining the great physical characteristics as 2765 KK, the coarse aggregate improves upon impact and cracking resistance. Plicast Al-Shield 3223 C KK advantages include:
- Good aluminum reaction/wetting resistance to 2000°F
- High hot MOR from 1500° to 2000°F
- Excellent hot fracture, wear and impact resistance
- Improved thermal cycling resistance
