Low heat capacity

Allows direct contact with aluminum/metals

Requires no foundry wash

Will not contaminate metals

Preheating not required

Can be machined into shapes

Minimal maintenance

 

Marinite C® was designed for conveying, containing, handling, and forming molten aluminum and non-ferrous metals. It is widely used for launders and trough linings, spouts, floats, stoppers, dams, baffles, and basins

Marinite C® can be used in direct contact applications with aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. It requires no foundry facing wash, and will not lead to contamination of the metals. Because Marinite C® has a low heat capacity, preheating isn’t required. The non-ferrous metals do not adhere to the material, even when they cool and solidify. Marinite® C can be machined into shapes for specific applications.

A heat treated, inorganic calcium silicate board made of fibers, micro silica, and binders.
