Instruction for Use


Highest strength is obtained with monolithic refractory by using the least amount of clean mixing water that will allow
thorough working of material into place by vibrating. A mechanical mixer is required for proper placement (paddle type
mortar mixers are best suited). After adding the recommended amount of water, mix for 4-6 minutes. Place material within
20 minutes after mixing.
This must be installed under closely controlled conditions using mechanical mixers and vibration. The resultant concrete
has a dense, low permeability structure and care must be exercised during initial heating.

Storage and Shelf Life


• Should be stored in dry conditions, unopened packaging on pallets. Do not store on ground. Keep out of rain and
damp conditions.
• Shelf life is of six months with original packaging, double shrink film and dehydrating agent provided if the monolithic
is stored under these recommended conditions.
