- Mixing and Application
Break up Carbo Vitrobond ingots and place in a suitable clean, dry kettle. Melt over low heat, stirring occasionally with metal rod or ladle. Recommended pouring temperature is from 280°F (138°C) to 300°F (149°C). Use of a thermometer is suggested for best results. Discard material if heated above 320°F (160°C) or if ignited. Sulfur fires can be extinguished by covering with wet burlap to cut off air supply and removing source of heat. If molten CARBOVITROBOND foams due to entrapped air, continue heating and stirring until the liquid becomes smooth again.
Properties
- Physical Properties
- Chemical Resistance
Carbo Vitrobond is resistant to non-oxidizing and dilute oxidizing acids, such as hydrofluoric acid and acidic and neutral salts, including fluoride salts, at temperatures up to 190°F (88°C). It cannot be used above that point due to crystalline changes that occur in sulfur at high temperatures. CARBOVITROBOND is used only where hydrofluoric acid or fluoride salts are present since VITROBOND possesses similar chemical resistance and is a more economical mortar. Carbo Vitrobond is not recommended for use with alkalies, aliphatics, aromatics or chlorinated hydro carbons, ketones or esters.
