    BENTOLITE L-3 PLASTICIZER

    Description

    BENTOLITE L-3 PLASTICIZER is a specially processed magnesium aluminum silicate additive primarily used as a binder and plasticizer for plastic refractory mixes. Here are the key details about this product:

    Special Features and Benefits:

    • Binder and plasticizer: Designed to serve as a binder and plasticizer for plastic refractory mixes.
    • Neutral pH: Possesses a neutral pH, making it suitable for mixes requiring long shelf life without losing plasticity.
    • Low impurity levels: Maintains low impurity levels, ensuring extended shelf life and retaining tackiness and plasticity for an extended period compared to mixes containing conventional sodium bentonites.

    Typical Properties:

    • Color: Off-white
    • Moisture: 10%
    • Dry Particle Size: 80% passes through 200 mesh (74 microns)
    • Cation Exchange Capacity: 100 meq/100g
    • pH: 7.5 (2% slurry)
    • Soluble Iron: <1%
    • Bulk Density: Loose/packed: 41/52 lbs/ft³
    • Chemical Analysis: SiO2: 74%, Al2O3: 14%, MgO: 3%, Fe2O3: 1%, CaO: 2%, Na2O: <0.5%, K2O: <0.5%, TiO2: <0.5%, Loss on Ignition: 6%

    Recommended Levels:

    • Addition levels of 3-5% of BENTOLITE L-3 provide optimal binding and high green strength in high alumina phos-bonded mixes without compromising refractory properties.

    Incorporation and Processing Instructions:

    • The additive is preferably incorporated into the mix at a recommended level. Optimal levels should be determined through laboratory tests.

    In summary, BENTOLITE L-3 PLASTICIZER is a versatile additive suitable for plastic refractory mixes, offering excellent binding and plasticizing properties while maintaining a neutral pH and low impurity levels, ensuring extended shelf life and performance.
