Revolutionizing No-cement Castables: Discover the SECAR® Dry Series

In the demanding world of high-temperature refractories, optimizing performance while managing complexity is a constant challenge. Imerys is proud to introduce the SECAR® Dry series: an advanced, all-in-one hydraulic binder technology specifically engineered for No-Cement Castables (CaO ≤ 0.2%).

Designed as a dry powder, the SECAR® Dry series eliminates the logistical headaches, storage concerns, and unpredictable setting behaviors often associated with liquid binder systems. It delivers an easy-to-use, reliable, and worry-free solution that seamlessly integrates into your existing Al2O3-SiO2 mix designs at a standard 5% dosage.

Flexible setting time control & high-temperature performances

The SECAR® Dry series features two versatile hydraulic binders that offer full control over placement kinetics:

  • SECAR® Dry: Offers a standard, highly reliable setting time of 6–8 hours at 20°C.
  • SECAR® D-Flash: Engineered for rapid setting (<2 hours at 20°C and 5–6 hours down to 5°C), ideal for shorter setting time and low-temperature application.

These binders can be used independently or blended to tailor setting times precisely to your operational needs. In high-temperature environments, the SECAR® Dry series delivers superior mechanical strength and high refractoriness.

Fast Dry-out and enhanced sustainability

With higher permeability compared to traditional ultra-low cement castables (ULCC), the SECAR® Dry series enables optimized water release. This fast Dry-out capability drastically accelerates installation schedules and cuts heat-up energy consumption.

Furthermore, by supporting easier recyclability of used linings, SECAR® Dry series helps refractory producers achieve their sustainability targets.

Upgrade your castable formulations with maximum strength, flexible kinetics, and simplified logistics.
