Wesbond Corporation Wesil HT

Wesil HT

High temperature system for molten metal contact

Wesil HT is a complete refractory fiber floccing and bonding system designed for thermocouple shields. Wesil HT contains a heat-setting proprietary binder for green hardness, and refractory additives that allow conventional refractory ceramic fibers to withstand molten steel contact at 2700^oF.

Wesil HT offers these advantages

Hard, strong fiber shapes

Proprietary resin sets at drying temperatures (250^oF) to give dense, hard green fiber shapes.

Reduces Fluxing and Shrinkage

Alumina coating of fibers maintains their integrity at high temperatures, allowing for successful operation at temperatures several hundred degrees higher than normal.

Significantly Reduced Costs

Typically reduces formula costs 30-40% below colloidal alumina/starch systems.
