How to make refractory concrete? – process of preparing the product for use
When buying powdered concrete, many people have no knowledge of how to make refractory concrete. According to the manufacturer’s recommendations, mix the powder with the correct amount of cold water. It is important that both the bucket, the tools and the water itself are clean. Refractory concrete is sold in durable buckets and can also be mixed in these. It is a good idea to remember to heat the concrete after it has been applied to the desired surface, thus allowing the excess water in it to dry. Skipping this step may result in cracks in the newly formed lining surface. Therefore, after the concrete has been applied, a 12h setting time is required, at 20°C.
