Global Refractory Solutions

MATRICAST 82 SiC
MATRICAST 82 SiC is a high-purity silicon carbide, low-cement castable refractory designed for applications where high wear
resistance, high thermal conductivity, and exceptional resistance to molten aluminum-based alloys is required. This material is well-
suited for abrasion prone applications. MATRICAST 82 SiC offers many benefits and features, including high thermal conductivity,
excellent non-wetting characteristics, an organic fiber addition to facilitate dry-out, and excellent thermal shock resistance.
