Wollite 30ST-1 Insulating Castable for Glass Manufacturers

Wollite 30ST-1 is a pourable, light weight mineral foam insulation material. After mixing and pouring Wollite 30ST-1 in a liquid state, it expands and solidifies within a matter of minutes to a consistent density of approximately 30 lb/ft3 (480 kg/m3). Wollite 30ST-1 is composed primarily of wollastanite which is a calcium silicate (CaSiO3) material. Because of the consistency of the pourable mix, and due to the foaming properties, the material is well suited for insulating refractory spouts and orifice rings used by glass manufacturers.
