In the construction of industrial kilns and thermal equipment, refractory mortar and refractory cement are common refractory materials. Although their names are similar, they differ greatly in usage, properties and applications. Correct selection can effectively improve the high-temperature resistance and service life of equipment.
Refractory mortar, also known as fire clay or joint material, is mainly used for filling and bonding brick joints when laying refractory bricks. It is made of fine refractory powder and binders. Its function is to seal brick joints, prevent smoke leakage, and ensure the integrity and air tightness of the brickwork.
Refractory cement is mainly composed of aluminate and belongs to hydraulic cementitious material. It is usually not used alone, but mainly as a binder for unshaped refractories such as refractory castables. After mixing with water, it can be cast into shape and used as the lining of industrial kilns.
In short: Refractory mortar is for bricklaying and joint filling, while refractory cement can be directly used as the refractory lining of high-temperature kilns or as raw material for other unshaped products.
