THERMBOND: Experience The Best.

Liquid phosphate bonded refractories are two component monolithic products with a binder system belonging to the class of acid-base cements. In the last 15 years liquid phosphate bonded LPB refractories have found wide acceptance as furnace linings in industries like aluminum, power generation and hydrocarbon processing due to the unique characteristics of this material group...

Major industrial processes require combustion in different forms. The burner is the device that is used to combust fuels with an oxidizer and to control the heat transfer into a furnace in which these processes take place...

The phosphate bond generally provides a lower modulus of elasticity compared to more brittle conventional cement and ceramic bonded materials. The flexible bonding mechanism results in higher impact resistance. Moreover, phosphate bonded materials show excellent resistance to aluminium metal penetration and corundum growth.  In addition, phosphate bonded bricks with low alkali content possess high hot strengths at elevated temperatures which can significantly increase their performance against mechanical abuse.

The evolution of the refractory industry has been characterized by efforts to replace bricks with various forms of monolithic materials. Since the 1980s, the primary evolutionary focus has been on the development of castable monolithic refractories with better installation and performance characteristics (e.g. higher strengths due to lower water content and faster installation rates)...
