Blakite adhesive

Description

Thermal Ceramics’ refractory mortars are normally supplied as ready-to-use wet blends of finely-ground aggregates and special binders. They develop good strength on air drying, forming strong joints and conferring an almost monolithic structure to the brickwork.

 

Classification temperatures

JM 2600 1430°C
Blakite™ 1650°C
Blakite V 1650°C
JM 3300 1760°C

 

Maximum continuous use temperature

The maximum continuous use temperature depends on the application. In case of doubt, refer to your local Thermal Ceramics distributor for advice.

 

Available types

JM 2600: This is an air-setting cement developed for use in lowertemperature applications, where a high-strength bond is required. It is recommended for mortaring insulating firebricks for operating temperatures up to 1430°C and can be used for both trowelled and dipped joints.

Blakite: This is a highly refractory mortar, dark grey in colour, which has a high water-retention characteristic. It was specially developed for laying insulating firebricks but is also suitable for use with super-duty and high alumina dense refractory bricks, at operating temperatures up to 1650°C. It is supplied in a consistency suitable for shallow patching or trowelling but requires the addition of approximately 5% water for dipping. Blakite is a good choice as a single, general-purpose mortar on projects involving mainly insulating firebricks but also including some dense firebricks.

Blakite V: This is the standard product with a harder consistency to be used to glue special refractory shapes and steel plates.

JM 3300: A very highly refractory air-setting mortar suitable for laying JM 32 insulating firebricks, and high alumina dense refractory bricks and for operating temperatures up to 1760°C.

 

Features Applications
