| 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. |
