Powders for very special applications
Y-FZM 1400 Powder
Y-FZM 1400 is a dry powder mixture of Yttria and FZM (Fused Zirconia-Mullite) which, on adding around 40 wt% water and stirring forms a cementitious slurry that can be poured or cast into silicone molds to form parts. Y-FZM 1400 also can be used to cement/glue refractories together (such as Alumina). Cast parts can be removed from the mold after vibrating to remove air bubbles and then heating at 50-60 C to “set” the binder and allow removal from the silicone mold. Heating a cast part to 1375-1400 C results in nearly 100% dense refractory transormed to highly stable Yttria phases (Yttrium Aluminate, YSZ, Yttrium Silicate). Y-FZM 1400 is ideal for making your own corrosion resistant refractory parts, reportedly stable with molten Aluminum, glasses, and steel. Usable to nearly 1400 C in all atmospheres.

CA-AT 1400 Powder
CA-AT 1400 is a dry refractory powder blend which, on adding around 30 wt% water and stirring, can be poured/cast into silicone molds to form parts or can be used to cement/glue refractories together. After casting and drying, firing the cast part to 1300-1400 C results in over near-full-dense refractory.
- Prepared as a slurry from dry mixture by just adding water
- Readily prepared into near full density parts by cast-and-sinter technique
- Very low drying shrinkage after casting
- Useful as a cement/glue or repair putty for other refractories
- Nearly 1400 C use temperature
- Contains no RCF (Refractory Ceramic Fiber)
- Water-based – easy cleanup
- Casting your own specialty refractory shapes
- Repairing/patching of fissures, cracks, joints
- Cementing refractory parts
