NORFLOW K 1031 AL – A self-flowing castable, also achieving a 1 out of 5 on the Alcan immersion test. This product offers the same aluminum resistance as NORCAST K 2000 with the advantage of ease of installation. As a member of our NORFLOW line, this product can be cast in place with no vibration necessary, all while maintaining very minimal water additions. This product is also ideal in reverberatory furnaces, ladles, and lintels.
Benefits:
- Variety of refractory cements engineered specifically for aluminum casthouse applications
- Self-flowing mixes require less water addition and eliminate the need for vibration
- Our high strength castable cements resist the wear and tear associated with drossing and cleaning operations
Properties:
- High quality raw materials sourced only from reputable suppliers
- Resistance to attack by molten aluminum alloys
- Excellent mechanical properties
- Available with self-flowing additives for ease of installation
FAQ
Are these products suitable for ladle relining?
Yes. Many customers using ladles have already switched to NORFLOW® castables – particularly NORFLOW® 973 - citing ease of installation and increased performance in ladle applications.
Is it necessary to add extra water for better flowability?
No. NORFLOW® mixes demonstrate equal or better performance versus traditional castables. Their innovative bonding system requires less water than traditional castables. Guidance on optimal added water ratios is available on product datasheets.
