    Chemax Tracit Heat Transfer Compound

    Uploaded by

    Miguel Martinez Guerrero
    Chemax TRACIT heat transfer compounds have been used for over 65 years to maximize heat transfer in heat tracing systems. The compounds improve thermal efficiency by increasing contact area between surfaces and eliminating air gaps, allowing heat to transfer directly through conduction. Only one TRACIT line is needed to maintain pipe temperature compared to three to five bare tracers otherwise. The mastics can be easily applied, are durable, fire-resistant, safe, reliable, and cost less than jacketed systems.

    TRACIT Heat Transfer Compounds

    Applications & Benefits


    For almost 70 years, Chemax TRACIT heat transfer compounds
    have been an integral component of heat tracing systems.
    Chemax compounds/cement/mastics are essential for maximizing
    heat transfer rates and improving thermal efficiency.

    The primary purpose of TRACIT cements is to improve the heat


    transfer between two surfaces by increasing the contact area and
    eliminating the air flow. Heat is then transferred directly to the
    pipe wall by conduction. Only one TRACIT line is required to
    maintain pipe temperature, where 3-5 bare (convection) tracers
    would otherwise be needed.

    Due to the excellent adhesive properties of these mastics, they


    can be applied to almost any clean surface. Figure 1: Typical Steam Tracing Application

    Advantages
    User-Friendly: TRACIT heat transfer compounds are
    pliable and have a putty-like consistency, which allows
    for easy application by mortar trowel.

    Durable: Compounds can withstand considerable me-


    chanical and thermal shock, and will last for the life of
    the installation.

    Fire-Resistant: Compounds will not burn or support


    combustion.

    Safe: Chemax mastics are non-hazardous.

    Reliable: Over 65 years of proven performance.

    Low-Cost: TRACIT mastics cost far less than jacketed


    systems and provide an equivalent heat transfer with
    steam tracings.
