Thank-you for your reply's, Browning and NonProphet - I found an old thread that name a product called Fiberfrax which is 20.00 or so per tube it is a moldable product that will stand 2300 deg fer. I have the piece that broke off and I was going to try the repair to just get me by for this season. The way it broke off I should be able to smear some of this product on and hold it in place with a couple nails, then I was going to form a small bead along the three edges on the inside and let it set up. I know this will be a temp fix, I was just curious to know if you think this may be worth a try.
Thank you both for your time and I will let you know if it is a successful repair.
Fiberfrax Coating Cements and Rigidizers
Fiberfrax QF-180â„¢, QF-180â„¢Blue, and QF-150â„¢ coating
cements provide a range of consistencies for brush, spray,
and trowel-on application. These coatings have 1260°C
(2300°F) temperature grade rating. They possess good adhe-
sion, thermal reflectance, dielectric strength, hot gas erosion
resistance, and effectively resist wetting by many nonferrous
molten metals.
Fiberfrax TopcoatTM3000 and Topcoatâ„¢ M coating cements
have a temperature grade rating of 1538°C (2800°F).Topcoat
3000 consists of a blend of regular ceramic fibers and high-
temperature Fibermax®polycrystalline fibers combined with
an inorganic binder system. This product imparts excellent
flame and hot gas erosion resistance to other product forms
and effectively minimizes thermal shrink
age of fiber blankets,
modules, and boards. Topcoat M is a blend of Fibermax fibers
in a dry powder form which is mixed with a prescribed amount
of potable water at the job site. It provides protection against
slag and alkali attack when applied to Fiberfrax high-
temperature boards and modules.
FiberstickTMrefractory cement is a high-temperature, air-
setting mortar used as an adhesive to securely bond Fiberfrax
Bonded modules and other product forms to refractory
surfaces.
Rigidizerâ„¢ and Rigidizerâ„¢ W, inorganic liquid hardeners,
have a temperature grade rating of 1260°C (2300°F). They
are generally used to increase the durability and surface ero-
sion resistance of Fiberfrax blanket and board products.
Rigidizer W hardener contains an organic wetting agent to
Fiberfrax Moldables and Pumpables
Fiberfrax LDS and LDS-AL moldables consist of Fiberfrax
ceramic fibers dispersed in a sticky water-based refractory
binder. These materials have a putty-like consistency which
permits application by caulking, troweling, or hand forming.
Both products adhere well to most surfaces. Drying is accom-
plished at a noncritical, elevated temperature, and the resulting
dried material is strong, hard, and erosion resistant. LDS-AL
moldable possesses excellent resistance to wetting by many
nonferrous molten metals and is used extensively in molten
aluminum contact applications.
Fiberfrax Pumpable-LDS, Pumpable-GS, and Topcoat 2600
Insulating Mix were designed for application into difficult-to-
reach areas requiring insulation. Fiberfrax Pumpable-LDS
and Pumpable-GS have temperature grade ratings of 1260°C
(2300°F). Fiberfrax Topcoat 2600 Insulating Mix has a tempera-
ture grade rating of 1426°C (2600°F). A conven
tional air-
operated extrusion pump permits application of these products
directly from their container into furnace and boiler hot spots,
refractory cracks, furnace door jambs, and other areas requiring
high-temperature insulation and sealing.
Fibermaxcaulk is a high-temperature blend of Fiberfrax
bulk fibers, Fibermax polycrystalline high-alumina fibers, and
inorganic binder. This product is available in convenient-to-
use caulking tubes. With a temperature grade rating of
1538°C (2800°F), it can be used to caulk joints and cracks in
both high-temperature Fiberfrax lining systems and conven-
tional refrac tories. Fibermax caulk is also used as a patching
material around deteriorating burner blocks.
