Asahi caster
Asahi caster is a castable refractory composed of carefully selected aggregates, and an alumina cement successfully developed by AGC Ceramics. Just add water to Asahi caster and knead it to achieve casting and/or easy trowelling according to its use, and obtain both strength and heat resistance at the same time. We have a variety of types for use in high-temperature kilns, special kilns and general-purpose kilns.

Characteristics
- It is joint-free and low permeability to prevent gas leakage and entry of surrounding air.
- Easy to shape. Exact size is obtainable as it is virtually shrink-proof.
- Achieves refractory bricks strength and is ready for use in 24 hours. It can respond to contingencies.
- Its strength does not deteriorate under high-temperature and has excellent spalling resistance against rapid heating and quenching.
- Lower thermal conductivity than general refractory bricks, so it reduces less heat loss, and combined with Asahi light caster, it can further lower thermal conductivity.
- It can be repaired easily.
- Combining it with reinforcing materials, it can prevent collapse of furnace walls. It also has higher durability than refractory bricks, and so it can increase furnace life.
- Much more economical than conventional refractory bricks.

Asahi caster for gunning
Asahi caster for gunning has low rebound loss due to its appropriate composition of fine particle control and special binders. It has excellent adherence, most suitable for newly built kilns of all types and repairing of existing kilns.

Characteristics
- High adherence. Very small rebound loss, therefore very economical.
- It can adhere to any surface, making it easy to use in construction and repairing.
- Sufficient thickness is achieved with the use of reinforcing bars.
- Coming in castable form, it solidifies quickly, making construction more efficient.
- Applicable to any type of popular dry guns.

Asahi caster for pumping
With increased application of castable refractories and increased volume, demand for efficiency and labor-saving in construction methods have resulted in the adoption of high-pressure pumping systems for the construction of castables.
AGC Ceramics's Asahi caster for pumping is simple to apply due to its high liquidity, and it has an excellent reputation among our customers.

Characteristics
- In order to make it applicable for pumps, we have adopted special fine particle structures to gain high liquidity.

Asahi acid-and-water-resistant castable
Asahi acid-and-water-resistant castable WPC Series is acid and water resistant due to a composition of special bonding materials.

Characteristics
- Shows high resistance to acid water of around pH2.
- It has high resistance against water erosion.
- It is a castable with volume stability and high spalling resistance.
