MONOLITE is a sprayed, lightweight magnesia based coating which protects the permanent lining of continuous casting tundishes. Since MONOLITE is sprayed – not gunned – rebound loss is eliminated. After drying, MONOLITE gives good mechanical resistance and high insulation values together with excellent erosion resistance and deskulling properties. The composition of MONOLITE also provides reduced hydrogen pick-up in “first off” cast sections MONOLITE is equally suited to both hot and cold tundish practice.
