Sauereisen - Model No. 360 -Heat-cured Refractory Coating

• Refractory - withstands short-term immersion in molten metal.
• Heat conductive and thermal shock resistant.
• Insulates electricity.
• Resists oil, solvents and most acids.
• Excellent coating properties.
• Safe to use, odorless and non-toxic.
• Bonds well to most surfaces.
• Available in chemical set formula.

Sauereisen No. 360 is a two-part, heatcured cement consisting of a Powder and Liquid which must be mixed together as used. No. 360 Powder should be thoroughly remixed before using. Weigh out approximately 65% of No. 360 Powder and approximately 35% of No. 360 Liquid. Place liquid in a clean mixing container and gradually add Powder while mixing. Continue mixing until a smooth, uniform consistency is obtained. Mixing may be done with a slow-speed mixer or by hand with a spatula.

No. 360 may be mixed to a thinner consistency by regulating the amount of Liquid used; however, the use of excess Liquid will reduce mechanical strength, increase shrinkage and delay set time.

Failure of the cement to adhere indicates that setting has begun - discard cement. Do not attempt to retemper by adding more Liquid. Porous substrates may require dampening with No. 360 Liquid before applying the mixed cement.

• Coefficient of thermal expansion (ASTM C372): 16.3 x 10-6 in/in/oF (29.34 x 10-6 cm/cm/oC)
• Color: Off white
• Compressive strength (ASTM C579) @ 1 day*: 1500 psi (105 kg/cm2)
• Density
• Wet (ASTM C20): 112 pcf (1.8 gm/cm3)
• Dry (ASTM C20): 82 pcf (1.3 gm/cm3)
• Flexural strength (ASTM C580) @1 day*: 650 psi (45.6 kg/cm2)
• Maximum service temperature: 2200oF (1204oC)
• Modulus of elasticity (ASTM C580): 3.6 x 105 psi (2.5 x 104 kg/cm2)
• Tensile strength (ASTM C307): 150 psi (10.5 kg/cm2)
• Pot life: 1 hour
• Working time: 60 minutes
• Strengths were obtained after curing at 220oF

No. 360 has a pot life of approximately one (1) hour at 70oF and will obtain an initial set by air drying in approximately four (4) hours at 70oF. Avoid steaming while drying. If cement will be exposed to elevated temperatures, contact Sauereisen for appropriate drying schedule recommendation.

If high humidity resistance is required and it is impractical to fire cement, a moistureresistant lacquer or silicone coating should be applied to the exposed surfaces.

Powder:

• 1-gallon cans
• 50-pound bags

Liquid:

• 1-gallon cans
• 50-pound pails
• 600-pound drums

All equipment should be cleaned with soap and water before No. 360 cures. If removal is required after cure, consult Sauereisen for recommendations.

Sauereisen No. 360 Powder and No. 360 Liquid have a shelf life of one year when stored in unopened, tightly sealed containers in a dry location at 70oF. If there is a doubt as to the quality of the material, consult Sauereisen.
