ADCEM is siliceous cement without any plastic clay and has the chemical setting property.
It is this specialty which makes it different from plastic clay based refractory cement.
Solution in 12.5 kg. plastic carboy.
Advantages:
It is air setting and gives hard joint at room temperature
It has high bonding strength
It gives thin compact brick to brick joint which makes whole masonry work one solid piece
It is extremely volume stable hence does not shrink on drying or heating
It makes joint airtight to ensure higher thermal efficiency
It protects fire brick lining against corrosive action of gases, ashes and slag
It makes refractory lining with quickness and perfect workmanship
It does not contain water hence no shrinkage and quick drying
It is high temperature air setting cement having higher strength with higher temperature
How to use:
As it is two component system care should be taken while using the same
The mixing ratio of 3:1 of powder to solution should be maintained properly to obtain best results
First take 3 part powder from bag and clear it from any foreign particles like strings etc. then add 1 part solution to it and mix it properly to form homogeneous pests which can be applied easily on bricks
Apply this paste in thin layer for joining the bricks and allow it to air set within 2-3 hours
You can make the joint set faster by giving low external heat
The joint that set becomes hard like stone
Storing:
Two components of ADCEM should be stored in dry place away from heat and moisture
After taking out solution from carboy lead should be replaced tightly so that air does not go inside and spoil the solution
After taking out powder from bag, mouth should be packed tight with string for avoiding entry of air and moisture
