FURNACE CEMENT HYTEMPITE 



Hytempite is a high temperature fire brick cement which has proven of great value 

 in the laying of firebrick and in the general repair of all types of furnaces, retorts, 

 ladles and so forth. It is a scientifically compounded refractory plastic material and 

 forms a lasting union between the materials to be joined, retaining its strength regard- 

 less of the heat to about 3100 F. It is better than fire clay because fire clay and water 

 has no binding strength. It does not loosen with expansion or contraction. Hytempite 

 withstands the cutting action of the flames and is especially recommended for oil 

 furnaces. It is largely used, also, as a coating or wash or to smoothen and harden the 

 surface of a lining to protect it from abrasion. 



In 25, 50, 100 and 225 pound kegs and in barrels of 800 pounds. Also furnished 

 in ton lots with prices on application. 



Below is illustrated a typical test of a firebrick broken, repaired with HYTEMPITE 

 and then re-broken. Note the last illustration, showing location of new fracture. 



The Break (see note) 



The Test (see note) 



NOTE. The brick illustrated was broken and repaired with HYTEMPITE, sub- 

 jected to a high temperature, and upon being tested fractured as shown, proving the 

 repair stronger than the brick structure.

2916(e) FURNACE CEMENT. Alundum cement is recommended for use in con- 

 nection with Alundum muffles, cores, and wherever a refractory cement 

 with high thermal conductivity is desirable. It has the same general 

 proprieties as the refractory article and is furnished in the form of a 

 dry powder, which, when mixed with sufficient water to make a thick 

 paste, is ready for application. The material should be allowed to dry 

 and finally heated to a good red heat. In burning, the heat should be 

 raised as high as possible, as this will give the cement a body similar 

 in character to the refractory article.
