Introducing QuikLite
The innovative leaders in the refractory industry are at it again. The QuikLite family is a set of unique refractory products made of light weight monolithics that combines rapid heat-up with a dust suppressant additive. Initially, seven products are available. Stay tuned for new additions to this innovative family of products. QuikLite products compliment dense QuikTurn castables and gunning mixes for use in two-component linings to save time in dry-out.
Heating QuikLite
Like regular QuikTurn products, QuikLite brands can be heated rapidly after they take their initial set. There is no need to cure them for 24 hours prior to starting the dryout. For linings with a total thickness less than 9 inches, these materials can be heated at 100oF per hour.
In the table below, you can see the comparable time required to reach 2000oF for QuikLite products versus normal insulating castables at various thicknesses. The normal insulating castable times include the 24 hour cure time.
| QuikLite | Insulating Castable | Time Savings | |
| 6" Lining | 19 Hours | 52 Hours | 33 Hours |
| 9" Lining | 25 Hours | 52 Hours | 27 Hours |
| 12" Lining | 36 Hours | 87 Hours | 51 Hours |
