Silica Ramming Mass, also known as Acidic Ramming Mass, is a high-performance refractory material primarily used for the lining of coreless induction furnaces. It is specially formulated to resist the erosive effects of acidic slags and provide excellent thermal shock resistance in high-temperature environments. With its high silica content, it offers superior resistance to thermal shock, slag corrosion, and thermal expansion, making it a top choice for induction melting applications.
Silica Ramming Mass is designed to perform in environments with extreme temperatures, up to 1700°C, while minimizing expansion and offering long-lasting performance. This ramming mass is ideal for industries such as steel, non-ferrous metallurgy, and foundries, where furnace linings need to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining excellent workability during installation.
