Ramming and smearing mix

Tamping mixes are delivered as mouldable blocks and fitted by way of a tamping hammer. Tamping mix is applied where it is difficult to make formwork and where high temperature properties are required, e.g. around burner cones, discharge chutes, tap and lance holes, etc. Tamping mix may be ceramic as well as chemically bound.

Lubricants are typically phosphate-bound compounds for mixing on site and applied for repair work as well as primary lining of pipes and pipe joints. Lubricants are highly mouldable, quickly dried out and heated.
