Many heating appliances are used for craft or hobby purposes. Chamotte concrete is used for their construction.
Chamotte concrete is used in various types of furnaces and burner blocks. It is a hydraulically bonded building material that can withstand temperatures of up to 1,400°C. This product must be mixed with water before use. Heat-resistant concrete is designed for use in high-temperature structures. Among other things, it is used in special muffle furnaces, as well as in industrial boilers. In addition, it can be used as a so-called ‘brick arch’ in the base of a drying trolley in a boiler. It is a material that is also used as thermal insulation for floors or walls around and inside heating equipment that produces very high temperatures. It is traditionally used as a screed in furnaces and a product for quick repairs to refractory components in various heating structures.
Chamotte concrete – an excellent insulating material
The refractory concrete offered in the Vitcas brand shop is a more durable building material than chamotte slabs. Its composition is a mixture of high alumina cement and refractory aggregate. As a result, this product is able to survive unchanged at extremely high temperatures. Chamotte concrete works well as a material for fireplaces, pizza or bread ovens and barbecues found on domestic properties. The product can also be used to carry out maintenance repairs on various types of heating equipment and to seal chimney flues. Among its applications, it can also be used to create fireclay bricks.
