TECHNOCEL® cellulose fibers - efficient in refractory masses
Refractory masses serve as lining and insulation layer of melt troughs, distributors and tundish outlets as they are used, for example, in the continuous casting procedure in the steel and metal-processing industries.
TECHNOCEL® cellulose fibers form a three-dimensional mesh of finest fibers within the refractory masses. This is elementary for the drying process. The capillary effect of the fibers leads to an even and fast drying process that clearly counters tension build-up or even cracking in the mass. The fibers act like drainage channels here.
The fiber also is of elementary importance in curing. Thermal treatment causes the fibers to disintegrate and leave a network of fine pores within the mass. This additionally reinforces the isolation effect of the refractory body.
The use of TECHNOCEL® fibers also clearly increases the service life and shelf life of the lining. The drying time is essentially reduced.
