INSULATING MONOLITHICS

SHIRALITE 140MW

SHIRALITE® 140MW is a medium weight insulating castable based on selected lightweight

aggregates and high purity calcium aluminate cement. It can be either cast or gunned.

SHIRALITE 140MW is intended for hot face insulation in mild flame conditions or as a backup lining
where it exhibits good strength and volume stability.
