Insula t ing Our Wor ld Tri-Mor ® Kaolite ® 2300-LI Pump Datasheet Code US: 3-14-125 MSDS Code US: 103 © 2009 Morgan Thermal Ceramics, a business within the Morgan Ceramics Division of The Morgan Crucible Company plc Product Description Kaolite 2300-LI Pump is a 2300°F (1260°C) lightweight castable which incorporates a high-purity binder for applications where hydrogen or reducing atmospheres are present. Kaolite 2300-LI Pump has been specially formulated for pump installation method without a significant sarifice in physical properties.

A mechanical mixer is required for proper placement (paddle-type mortar mixers are best suited). After achieving a ball-in-hand consistency, mix for 6 minutes. Place material within 30 minutes after mixing. Precautions Store bagged monolithics in a dry place, off the ground and, when possible, with the original shrink wrapping intact. Normal shelf life is 12 months if properly stored. Watertight forms must be used when placing material. All porous surfaces that will come in contact with the material must be waterproofed with a suitable coating or membrane. For maximum strength, cure 24 hours under damp conditions before initial heat-up. Keep freshly placed monolithic warm during cold weather, ideally between 70°F and 80°F. New monolithic installations must be heated slowly the first time. Freshly placed lightweight monolithics are prone to a deteriorating condition called alkali hydrolysis when they are kept in a nondried state for a sustained period of time in a warm, humid environment. Under these conditions, the monolithics should be force-dried soon after placement or coated with Kao-Seal to help retard the possible deterioration effects. The values given herein are typical average values obtained in accordance with accepted test methods and are subject to normal manufacturing variations.
