KALCRET features a mixing time of about five minutes, is easy to handle, and offers quick installation time. The compound can also easily be applied overhead.
KALCRET is made up of a hard aggregate material, cement binder, and micro and nano silica. The hard aggregate provides the high-quality wear protection, while the micro and nano silica fill the pores between the cement portions. KALCRET reaches high strength and wear resistance after 8 hours.
Suitable for temperatures up to 1200°C (2192°F), KALCRET handles a broad range of abrasive products, including coal, cement, ore, sand and other hard, granular materials.
It is available as a trowelled, cast, or sprayed-on compound to provide a continuous lining for system components with horizontal, vertical, inclined, curved, flat, and large surfaces. KALCRET is also available in prefabricated shaped elements and equipped with threaded studs or weld clips.
