Excellent oxidation prevention |
|
Because of low viscosity, EL-300 will be easy to impregnate into the microholes
existing in the electrodes and such impregnated and coated layer, 15 to
30mm from the surface, will never strip.This oxidation prevention effect
will come out conspicuously when the original electrode's consumption is
high.When the electrode is not water-cooled (spraying), you will get the
greatest advantage with our EL-300.In that case, it is possible to reduce
electrode consumption by 5 to 15%. (Some cases will depend on each user's
environmental factors.) Especially, in case of without water spray cooling
system for stainless steel and/or special steel etc. forbidden hydrogen
contamination, EL-300 maximizes the effect of its performance, dramatically. |
|
Low cost of impregnation |
|
The most suitable impregnation volume of EL-300 is 0.6 to 1.0 wt% of the
electrode's weight, for example, in case of 20" dia x 1800mm(approx.
6') 625kgs(1378lbs), approx. 4-6kgs of EL-300 will be consumed and it is
very economical.The method of impregnating is very simple, once you dip
the electrode into the tub and keep it dipped for the fixed time and after
1 to 2 weeks storage in the air, the coating process will be completed.
No special equipment or knowledge is required !!
Furthermore, handling and transportation
costs can be eliminated and savings maximized
by impregnating the electrodes in your own
plant. |
|
No loss of conductivity |
|
The conductivity of the electrodes after impregnation by EL-300 is not
reduced and EL-300 never influences conductivity in the furnace.You can
handle the coated electrode in the usual fashion. |
|
Nipple loosening prevented |
|
EL-300 is changed to a hard ceramic over 300 degrees and this ceramic prevents
nipple looseness as a result of its high adhesiveness. |
|
Not influenced by water-cooling |
|
EL-300 never be removed and degraded by running water on the surface of
electrodes.
The performance is stable whether water-cooling
is used or not.
|
|
Ease of handling |
|
EL-300 does not contain any heavy metals and can be used safely. |
|
Chemical stability |
|
EL-300 is stable chemically and so solid element is not deposited at bottom.
It can be stored for a long period of time in sealed anti-acid vessel.Impregnated
and dried electrodes can not be degraded. |
|
Hardly affected by external environments |
|
EL-300 is able to keep stable performance for a long period due to being hardly affected by external environments like excessive heat or intense cold etc. compared with EL-100. |
