Product description
BONDERITE L-CA 696 ACHESON, also known as Deltacast 696, is a ready-to-use, soft grease formulation with heat-resistant, reflective pigments. Developed for use in light metal foundries, this special product forms a dry, porous, and insulating protective layer when it comes into contact with molten metal. This reduces thermal stress and protects ladles, channels, and all metal contact surfaces from wear and thermal fatigue.
BONDERITE L-CA 696 ACHESON is particularly user-friendly thanks to its ease of application and post-treatment. The coating is durable, easy to remove, and can be repaired locally if necessary. The optimized formulation minimizes hazards during processing and operation. The product contains selected mineral oils as carriers, is not water-soluble, and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner after use.
