Abstract

A low cement castable refractory comprising 85 to 96% by weight of a calcined ultrafine bauxite aggregate characterized by a particle size of less than 10 um, 2 to 10% by weight of a suitable cement material, 0 to 8% of weight of a thixotropic agent and 0 to 2% by weight of suitable deflocculants and plasticizers, the cement material comprising calcium aluminate cement having an alumina content of 40 to 85% and the thixotropic agents being selected from those containing microfine silica, and/or reactive alumina, the inorganic deflocculants and plasticizers being selected from alkali phosphates, lignosulphonates or naphthalene sulphonates. A method of making a low cement castable refractory and installing a low cement castable refractory are also described.
