We have used Thermbond refractory quite extensively for a number of years mostly in our Sulfur Recovery Units within the furnaces.  The furnaces that we run are approximately 17 feet in diameter and about 100 feet long and run in excess of 2100F.  Our furnaces are lined with two types of brick:  1) Insulating Fire Brick (IFB) – which keeps the heat inside the furnace and 2) Hard-faced Brick (UFALA) – which protects the IFB and furnace shell from the acid in the furnace.  The cases where we have utilized Thermbond were when we have seen considerable damage on the furnace brick, and we either did not have brick available, time available to replace brick, or needed a quick start-up of the unit.  The Thermbond refractory provided the quick application, high temperature capabilities, chemical resistant properties, and quick curing capabilities that allowed us to have a quick turnaround time on our damaged furnaces.
