Used in NUMEROUS APPLICATIONSin sTEEL and FOUNDRY LADLESCURRENTLY IN SERVICE:√ Ladle bottoms√ Ladle sidewalls installed by casting,shotcreting and dry-gunning√ Functional products like well blocks,seating blocks and purge plugs√ Secondary metallurgy includingCAS OB bells and argon lancesAS WELL OTHER APPLICATIONS BEYOND LADLES:√ Tundish impact pads, dams and weirs√ EAF delta sectionsleading castable technologyCMA 72 is the realisation of numerous years of intense researchto develop a binder that increases the corrosion resistanceof alumina-magnesia spinel containing castables.UN!QUECMA 72 is a unique multi-componentcalcium‐magnesium-aluminate binderobtained by reaction sintering.CMA 72 contains a homogeneouslydistributed ultra fine alumina-magnesiaspinel phase within the grain structure.CMA 72 displays very similar placingcharacteristics to other calcium aluminatecements ensuring ease of castableformulation whilst simultaneouslyexceeding the in-service performanceof existing castable technologies.ULT!MATECMA 72 provides a novel and flexibleformulation approach for bothpre‐formed and in‐situ alumina-magnesiacastable systems.CMA 72 demonstrates synergetic effectswhen mixed with Peramin ® AL 200 / 300to develop dense structureswith low water demand, high flowand easy placing properties.The engineered castable microstructuregenerated by CMA 72 leads to castableswith superior thermo-mechanicalproperties, increased corrosionresistance and penetration resistanceto molten metals and slags.
