HR Delta Roof Castable

HR Delta Roof Castable is an Ultra-Low Cement, Vibro casting material used in the application of roofs or overhead linings of Industrial furnaces like Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), Conarc Furnace and Vacuum Degasser Furnace (VD). It helps improve the performance and service life of furnaces by reducing energy loss, good corrosion resistance, enhancing heat transfer, and preventing hot spots. It is designed to withstand the extreme conditions and thermal stresses encountered during the Steel melting process.

Hazira Refractory developed its version of Delta roof castable in 2016 with its first trial in Essar steel (now AM/NS). Since then, we have dedicated significant efforts to enhance the refractoriness of the castable, making it a cornerstone of our research and development endeavors.

Salient Features:

  • PCPF center portion (made as per requirement) of the roof delta for longer life by reducing erosion.
  • Vibro casting material (easy to cast) having good volume stability.
  • Excellent thermal shock resistance.
  • High temperature resistance up to 1700°C.
  • Resistance to chemical attacks and corrosive elements.
  • With right amount of water intake and proper preheating after casting procedure it can give excellent strength.
  • Controlled curing helps in developing hydraulic bond.

The data shown are based on average results on production samples and are subject to normal variation on individual tests hence cannot be taken as specification. Max and min. values are given separately for testing purpose.

Note: Water requirements indicated are based on laboratory test conditions. Actual water requirement may vary subject to site conditions. The properties shown are for vibratory cast material only unless specified otherwise. All values are based on test results on standard bars of size 160x40x40 mm. Test methods are guided by and based on various Indian Standards (IS).
