| Applications //
It adheres well to most surfaces. Drying is accomplished at a non-critical, elevated temperature and the resulting dried material is strong, hard and erosion resistant. LDS Moldable possesses excellent resistance to wetting by many nonferrous molten metals and is used extensively in molten aluminum contact applications. The LDS Moldable possesses the advantages of ceramic fiber insulating materials : high temperature resistance, excellent insulating properties, excellent thermal shock resistance, chemical stability and ease of installation.
