SHOTKAST® FS

II I
Product Data 8/18: 9455

Description: High-Purity, Fused-Silica, Shotcast Castable

Features: • Has a separate liquid binder, which is added at the wet mixing stage just before installation.
• Adding 12.5% by weight of CS BINDER yields a pumpable consistency.
• Designed to be wet sprayed (with no accelerator) for hot installations.
• Excellent alkali vapor resistance.
• Excellent acid resistance.
• Can be shotcreted with ACTIVATOR N.
Uses: • Hot Seal Overcoating for Silica Crowns.
• Oil Refinery Sulfur Pit Walls, meets ExxonMobil CR-5 specifications.
