About High-Alumina Refractory Mortar 90k (1700°C)

90K Mortar is a high-alumina refractory mortar presented in a convenient bagged powder form, packaged in 25 kg bags. This specialized material distinguishes itself from standard varieties with its high alumina content, approximately 90%, designed specifically for industrial applications requiring robust bonding solutions in high-temperature environments. This formulation is meticulously sourced to ensure consistent performance, making it ideal for demanding applications where conventional mortars may fall short, particularly in areas exposed to intense heat and thermal cycling. The mortar's composition predominantly features high-purity alumina, which contributes to its exceptional mechanical and chemical properties. This distinctive formulation enhances the mortar's adhesion capabilities, enabling it to maintain structural integrity even under significant thermal stress. Its resistance to both slag and chemical attacks ensures longevity and reliability in harsh operational settings, where maintaining bond strength is critical. This high alumina content also minimizes shrinkage during curing, further enhancing its performance. In service, 90K Mortar withstands extreme temperatures up to approximately 1,700°C, offering superior thermal stability that protects surrounding equipment from heat damage. The material exhibits a minimum compressive strength of 1000 Kg/cm² after proper curing, which assures reliability in reinforcing applications. With a density of around 2.75 g/cm³ and a thermal conductivity of about 1.15 kcal/m·h·°C, this mortar efficiently manages heat loads, allowing it to maintain structural integrity throughout its service life, even in high-stress environments. Supplied in 25 kg bags, 90K Mortar facilitates precise application and easy handling on job sites. Buyers should verify specific project requirements prior to ordering to ensure compatibility with their operational demands. Zenco Systems Ltd provides efficient distribution across Nairobi and the broader East African region, ensuring that customers receive timely deliveries to support their industrial operations.

Selection & Installation Guidance

When comparing 90K Mortar to lower-alumina alternatives such as mortars containing 70-80% Al₂O₃, the decision largely hinges on the intended application environment. The 90K Mortar is optimal for scenarios requiring maximum thermal and chemical resistance, making it suitable for extreme conditions in steel plants and petrochemical applications. In contrast, lower-alumina mortars may suffice for less demanding situations with cost-sensitive budgets or where the operating temperatures don’t exceed moderate limits.

Installation

Mix with clean water to desired consistency and apply.
