Installation notes

  1. 1Handle with care, lower crushing strength than dense bricks
  2. 2Use lightweight insulating mortar matched to grade (e.g. CUMIBOND LK FX, LK 65, LM 36 or LA-series for CUMILAG grades)
  3. 3Never expose directly to liquid metal or slag, always use with working lining
  4. 4Dry-out schedule: ambient to 200°C at 10°C/hr, hold 4 hrs, then proceed slowly
