CASTABLE
How much water do I have to add to a castable?
Question :
How much water do I have to add to a castable?
The recommended water to mix with a castable or gun mix is available. It is important to add the correct amount of water for the type of installation (casting and pumping or gunning) since the water added can influence the physical properties for the product. If too much water is added, density and strength can be reduced along with increase reheat shrinkage. If enough water is not added, castable flow will be reduced and create casting voids and gun mixes might be dustier when installed. Water is not added to refractory plastics and wet mortars on-site.
