FAQ

Which product is most suited for use with iron ladles in intensive, high productivity applications?

NORFAST® K 1031 is ideal for use with iron ladles requiring safe drying during heat up. The optimized packing size of the product is ideal for extending ladle service life while maintaining excellent thermal shock resistance.
Do these mixes require any specific preparation?

Fast-firings castables are prepared in a similar fashion to standard castables - there is no specific preparation required.

NORFAST®’s unique properties stem from an innovative, chemically optimized matrix that avoids the release of water at high temperatures where the risk of failure is highest.
