    Monolithic refractories, also called monolithics, are refractory materials that can be molded into any shape needed. They consist of graded refractory aggregates, binders, fillers, and additives. Monolithics can be classified based on their physical state as powdered, mud, or paste, and also based on their setting method or installation method. Common types of monolithics include castables, mortars, gunning compounds, and ramming masses.

    TYPE OF MONOLITHIC REFRACTORIES

    What are Monolithic Refractories?

    Monolithic refractories or Monolithics are those, which have no definite shape. In other words

    these are the refractories which can be moulded or can be given any shape as per requirement.

    Because of this reason, these products are also known as the ready-refractories and can be

    used as such on the site to repair or build a furnace. Monolithics consists of graded Refractory

    aggregates, Binders, Fillers & (/or) special Additives for modification of properties.

    Type or Classification of Monolithics:

    The classification and nomenclatures of monolithics have been done on the basis of more than

    a single criterion.

    Based on Physical State

    1. Powdered state - Castable, Mortar and Ramming Mass.

    2. Mud state - Plastics.

    3. Paste state - Coating Mass.

    Based on Setting Method


    1. Hydraulic setting - Castables.

    2. Air setting - Mortars, Plastics.

    3. Chemical setting - Plastics, Ramming Masses.

    4. Ceramic (Heat) setting - Mortars, Plastics, Ramming Masses.

    Based on Installation Method

    1. Trawling and Pouring - Castable, Mortar.

    2. Ramming - Ramming Mass.

    3. Gunning - Gunning compound, Castable.

    4. Vibrating - Castables.

    Castables

    These are dry mix hydraulic compositions of graded refractory aggregates with a

    suitable bonding material, Fillers & (/or) special Additives. On addition of the prescribed

    quantity of water to these compositions, a wet concrete-like mass is produced which

    forms useful castables. Ceramic bond is developed when the same is fired at a certain

    high temperature.

    Type of Castables -

    Conventional Castable.

    Low Cement Castables (LCC).

    Ultra Low Cement Castable (ULCC).

    No Cement Castable (NCC).

    Light Weight Castables.

    Self Flow Castables (SFC).


    Insulating Castable.

    Coating Mass

    These are the Refractory materials especially made for coating on the working surface of the lining having

    a thin thickness.

    Fettling Mass

    It is a material which is deposited on the worn out areas of banks and bottom of Electric Arc

    Furnace (EAF) in hot condition. These are normally applied by shoveling and by using a Fettling

    Machine.

    Gunning Compound or Gunning Mass

    Gunning Masses are also unshaped refractory materials (Products) made after blending graded

    refractory grains with suitable bonding agents and are installed with a Gunning Machine.

    Type of Gunning Compounds -

    Dry Gunning

    Shortcreting

    Flame Gunning

    Injection Mass

    These are the refractory materials that can be injected into a furnace in the slurry state.
    Mortar

    Powdered or finely ground refractory preparation which becomes plastic and trowel able when

    tempered with water and is suitable for laying and bonding refractory bricks.

    Patching Mass

    These are powdered refractory materials mixed with water and/or added with a binder, and with

    adequate plasticity that can be patched in a place.

    Plastic Refractories / Mass

    Refractory materials tempered with water and/or added with a binder, which has adequate

    plasticity to be rammed into a place.

    Ramming Mass

    Ramming Masses are the ready-mix of refractory materials usually tempered with water, that

    can not be extruded but that has suitable properties to permit ramming into a place to form a

    monolithic structure.

    Type of Ramming Masses -

    Dry Ramming Mass

    Wet Ramming Mass

    Spraying Mass

    These are refractory mix consisting of fines and additives which are installed with a Spraying

    Machine (can also be applied with a Gunning Machine).
