Kaolite® 2200HS, 2500HS,

Super HS
Product Data Sheet

Product Description
Kaolite 2200HS and Kaolite 2200HS Gun are medium weight monolithics that have high strength and excellent volume
stability. They possess the best thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio in the industry.
Kaolite 2500HS and Kaolite 2500HS Gun are medium weight, economical insulating monolithics for use up to 1370°C
(2500°F) where high strength and good thermal stability are required.
Kaolite Super HS Gun is a medium weight, premium insulating monolithic for use up to 1315°C (2400°F). It has exceptional
strength to weight characteristics and is well suitable for tough petrochemical F.C.C.U. applications.

Instructions for using

Casting: 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). Mix for 6 minutes to achieve a ball-in-hand consistency. Place material within 30 minutes
after mixing.
Gunning: Use suitable gunite equipment. Material should be pre-dampened uniformly with approximately
• Kaolite 2200HS Gun 7-9%
• Kaolite 2500HS Gun 5-7%
• Kaolite Super HS Gun 5-7%
by weight of clean water in a mechanical mixer before placing into gunite applications at gun. This will reduce rebound and
dust. Add required water at nozzle for effective placement. Suggested air pressure at the nozzle is 1.8 to 2.5 Bar
(25 to 35 psi).
Precautions: Watertight forms must be used when placing material. All porous surfaces that will come in contact with the
material must be waterproofed with a suitable coating or membrane. For maximum strength, cure 24 hours under damp
conditions before initial heat-up. Keep freshly placed monolithic warm during cold weather, ideally between 16°C and 27°C
(60°F and 80°F) until wet curing is completed. New monolithic installations must be heated slowly the first time.
