1. Reduction in physical properties – Improper water content leads to a reduction in the physical properties associated with a monolithic refractory material. This can decrease the lifespan of the refractories as well as create issues for the end user throughout the time period in which they are in use. In many cases, end users select more costly refractories in order to acquire higher quality materials. The improper addition of water can completely negate this additional spend. In many cases leading to performance, that is inferior to properly mixed lower quality materials.

2. Increased set-up time – Materials in which too much water has been added will not set-up at the rate which they were designed to. In some cases, they may not set-up at all and may remain soft, spongey, or grainy. This may lead to the need to remove and re-cast the materials causing long and expensive delays. Furthermore, the rate at which monolithic refractories cure has an impact on the physical properties achieved. Accelerating and decelerating this reaction can have negative implications.

There are ways to insure that materials are properly mixed. These methods include adequate training of the workforce, proper communication, have the mixing and use instructions available during an installation, have proper measuring devices available, and the use of mixing logs and even third party inspectors.Changxing has a production line, which is base on oil & gas applied ceramic proppant, and also with 3 factories focusing on all kinds of refractory materials used for iron & steel casting, cement,fire bricks glass petrochemical and ceramics industries. With abundant sources and professional techniques, Changxing Refractory would like to build a reliable and efficient platform for customers all over the world.
