remidw Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've been looking for Kast-O-Lite 30 on the internet. So far i haven't found a supplier that is not located in the US. Is there an equivalent to Kast-O-Lite 30 that can been found in Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remidw Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 So I found this refractory cement. Would this be good as a forge liner? Nevermind, its only rated to 1300 degrees celsius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaDog Forge Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 What is shipping cost to Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remidw Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 A lot of the suppliers don't ship to Belgium. The ones that do are between a 100 to 200 dollars shipping cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 See if you can get your hands on some Perlite; a common soil ingredient. If you can, it can be stirred into alumina based refractory; it isn't as elegant a solution as glass micro-bubbles, but it does a similar job, and should be in your reach.

Frosty Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Glass micro bubbles are made for light weight concrete, mortar, etc. and should be available at: mason, sand and gravel, or concrete batch plants.

Mr Moose Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 You might see if you can locate this refractory. It is from India. It is working very well for me as both hard face in forge and for the multi-port burner that I use. Whytheat-K is 60% alumina hydraulic bonding refractory Dense Castable, which is use for service temperature of 2912°F (1600°C). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remidw Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Thanks for the reply! I called up Morgan Ceramics a couple weeks ago and they sent me to a local supplier that makes custom refractory's. They sold me a bag of Arelcrete LC17T and some Durablanket Z. The Arelcrete is a refractory from the UK. It is a bit denser than Kast-O-Lite but its good enough since I only used it for a small liner layer. I uploaded a data sheet for it.
