Fused Silica (Flour)

REMET offers 2 grades of fused silica flour 120 or 200 mesh.

REMET UK Fused Silica is made from pure, natural white silica rich sand is a pure material that is readily available, which provides a long life slurry practical for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting.

Fused Silica has excellent thermal characteristics, as it exhibits a very low level of thermal expansion. Whilst it also provides low thermal conductivity, together these attributes provide a refractory with excellent thermal shock resistance.

This product provides for excellent slurry stability as well as good pH stability when used in the primary coating. This will aid in preventing the solution from dropping out, which is crucial in achieving an even coat application, essential in avoiding surface defects.

The shell produced using REMET UK Fused Silica, is both lightweight and highly permeable. Whilst the refractories unique behaviour under extreme heat, creates a shell that once cooled, allows for an easier knockout.
