TRACIT™ 600A

1 of 4 products in this brand
Tracit™ 600A is a high-temperature heat transfer compound (cement) that hardens when cured. This fine-grained mastic is designed for use on electric and thermal fluid heat tracing systems exceeding 750°F (400°C). May also be used on high-temperature applications such as electric strip and ring heaters. This compound dissipates heat away from electrical resistance heating elements into the adjacent equipment. Systems that utilize TRACIT-600A experience faster heat-up times and increased energy efficiency.

Installation Instructions
  • Tracit-600A is slightly alkaline. Wear protective gloves and glasses when handling. Chemax CC Channels are recommended for use on straight tracing for faster installation, weather protection, and less wasted material. 
  • It is optimal to remove loose paint, rust, scale, grease, etc. with wire brush before applying Tracit-600A. Using a brick (mortar) trowel, apply a thin layer (1/4") onto pipe line tracer, fully encasing it in the Tracit-600A. For non-tracing applications, consult system manufacturer for further instructions.
  •  
  • Cure Tracit-600A by heating for 12-24 hours at 180°F to 212°F (82°C-100°C), or air-drying above 32°F until Tracit-600A has fully hardened. If application thickness exceeds an inch, apply compound in one-inch layers to reduce sagging. Allow Tracit-600A to cure between layer applications. No curing required when installing with Chemax CC Channels or with plate-type coil applications. 
  • Protect TRACIT-600A from moisture during installation. Do not expose to acid. May be removed using water.
  • Store at room temperature. Keep lid sealed tightly when not in use. If Tracit-600A has frozen, thaw before use.  A small amount of water (one ounce per gallon) may be mixed into the Tracit-600A if it has become too thick for application. 
Coverage Rates
