Nozzle Filling Compound (NFC)

Product List
Nozzle filling compound is a free flowing refractory material used in the Ladle or Tundish sliding gate to prevent steel freeze to ensure easy opening at the start of casting.
NFC is a high refractory granular product with selected particle size and distribution which remains flowable at the high temperature and ensuring consistent and trouble free ladle slide gate operation.
Application of the Nozzle Filling Compound
For achieving the best result, NFC should be pre-heated at around 100°C for about an hour to drive out any physical moisture .The Nozzle cavity should be cleaned of slag and any refractory particles before application
The quantity of NFC to be applied should be carefully determined, so that nozzle cavity is entirely filled ,with a slight mound at the nozzle top NFC should be applied with a suitable applicator to ensure that the product is applied at the proper place.
