About Tundish Covering Compound
Tundish Covering Compound is free flowing in nature and used in tundish or ladle. Our Laddle Covering Compound reduces ladle jamming and heat loss due to radiation. Along with this, Laddle Covering Compound prevents contact of molten steel to the atmosphere.Optimal Insulation for Steel CastingThis tundish covering compound is engineered to minimize heat loss and insulate molten steel during casting, ensuring a stable and controlled process. Its fine granular form provides uniform coverage and maintains integrity even at high operational temperatures, supporting consistent product quality in demanding industrial environments.
Superior Refractory PropertiesWith a melting point between 1200-1400C and high resistance to mechanical stress, the compound maintains outstanding dimensional stability. Its blend of Al2O3, SiO2, CaO, and MgO offers exceptional durability, making it compatible with acidic, neutral, and basic refractory applications, all while maintaining a purity over 95%.
FAQ's of Tundish Covering Compound:
Q: How should Tundish Covering Compound be stored to maintain its effectiveness?
A: To preserve its shelf life and quality, Tundish Covering Compound should be stored in a dry, moisture-free environment. The material must remain sealed in its original HDPE bag (25kg or 50kg) and away from direct humidity or water exposure.
Q: What is the recommended process for applying this compound in tundish operations?
A: During steel casting, the compound should be evenly distributed across the molten metal surface within the tundish. Its granular or powdered form ensures complete coverage, providing reliable insulation and minimizing heat loss throughout the casting process.
Q: When is the ideal time to use the tundish covering compound during steel casting?
A: The compound is applied immediately after molten steel is poured into the tundish. This timing maximizes its insulating properties and prevents excessive heat loss during casting operations.
Q: Where can this compound be used and what steel grades is it compatible with?
A: The compound is suitable for use in steel plants and foundries across India and beyond. Its formulation is compatible with most steel grades, making it versatile for various steel casting and tundish insulation setups.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this tundish covering compound?
A: The compound offers excellent heat insulation, high mechanical strength, and negligible expansion on heating. It reduces heat loss, controls steel bath turbulence, and emits low smoke, supporting safer and more energy-efficient steel casting.
Q: Is this compound safe for industrial use and does it emit harmful substances?
A: Yes, the tundish covering compound is non-toxic and emits very low smoke during use. This makes it environmentally safe for workers and the surrounding environment during steel casting operations.
