E-Z Foam Aluminum Resistant Insulating Foam<\/h2>\n \n

E-Z Foam back up insulating foam was developed with the end user in mind. \u00a0It has a shorter mixing time and a longer working time than traditional foam backup materials. \u00a0And with much less water, dry out times are faster allowing equipment to be used sooner. E-Z Foam holds the primary refractory in place, reducing crack propagation. E-Z Foam is non-wetting to molten aluminum, stopping penetration and preventing it from reaching the steel or getting underneath the refractory.<\/p>\n

E-Z Foam was developed for use as a backup insulation system for RMG refractory in Wagstaff casting tables, launders, filter bowls, degassers, etc. \u00a0E-Z Foam is sold as a “kit\u201d but is a two part system: one dry component and one liquid component. \u00a0One kit contains a 5 gallon pail of powder and two jugs of liquid activator. \u00a0Both components are provided pre-weighed and pre-measured to allow for easy mixing.\u00a0NO WEIGHING OF THE COMPONENTS IS REQUIRED.\u00a0\u00a0Each kit will fill approximately one cubic foot (.03 cubic meter) of space. \u00a0Below is an illustration of where E-Z Foam is installed.<\/p>\n

E-Z Foam is a silica-based, refractory insulating foam. \u00a0The foaming of E-Z Foam begins when the liquid activator is added to the powder. \u00a0As these two components are mixed together, a mild exothermic reaction takes place creating a foam. \u00a0Within a short time, the foam begins to expand — filling voids within a mold and other spaces before transforming into a solid material. \u00a0This reaction results in the E-Z Foam expanding 2.2 times its volume.<\/p>\n

E-Z Foam has been rated excellent by Orton Ceramic Foundation using the Alcoa Cup Test procedure. \u00a0Non-wetting eliminates the possibility of molten aluminum penetration beyond.<\/p>\n
