Confirm the exact figures on the grade datasheet before specifying.
What is the alumina content of CIP 103 (CUMI, Perlite-Based)?
CIP 103 (CUMI, Perlite-Based) carries 40% min Al₂O₃.
Where is CIP 103 (CUMI, Perlite-Based) commonly used?
CIP 103 (CUMI, Perlite-Based) is typically specified for lightest, most economical grade; general backup insulation. Applications across the insulating castables range also include backup insulation behind a dense working lining, boiler and furnace casing insulation, reheating and heat treatment furnace roof/wall backup and carbon black reactors, waste heat boilers, sulphur recovery units (CA 58, low-silica/hydrogen duty). Send us your operating conditions and we will confirm the grade.
How do I select between CIP 103 (CUMI, Perlite-Based) and CII 107 M (CUMI)?
CIP 103 (CUMI, Perlite-Based): 40% min Al₂O₃, rated to 1250°C. CII 107 M (CUMI): 35% (typical) Al₂O₃, rated to 1350°C. Higher alumina generally brings higher refractoriness and slag resistance. Send us your application and operating temperature and we will confirm the grade.
