[TheForge] ITC-100

Wed Jun 5 22:35:01 2002

I am a distributor for ITC. We supply ITC-100 to a lot of our industrial
customers. It works with most types of refractory. We have used it on many types
of castable and ramable refractory as well as ceramic fiber. Basically ITC-100
causes more of the radiant energy to be reflected back into the furnace or
forge. This greatly increases fuel efficiency. It also extends the life of the
refractory and can be used to repair damaged refractory.

In the case of a boiler, you would use the ITC-100 on the refractory, but not on
the boiler tubes, headers, or drums. ITC-213 can be used on the metal parts in
the boiler, but again should not be used on the boiler tubes.

If you have any specific questions feel free to call me.
