To ensure the tightness of heating structures, products such as refractory mastic should be used – the application and properties of this material can be found in the article below.
Many people are looking for an answer to the question: what is mastic? It is a ready-to-use paste with a putty-like consistency, characterised by high resistance to high temperatures, reaching 1250°C – 1500°C. It is an asbestos-free material, so it is safe to use. Fire-resistant mastic is distinguished by its good adhesion to various surfaces and creates tight bonds between them. It is worth knowing that mastic is an easy-to-apply product. The Vitcas store offers not only fire-resistant mastics, but also water- and chemical-resistant ones. These are materials that harden under the influence of heat. They can be coated with special fire-resistant paints. Mastic can be used to seal and join various components of high-temperature equipment and structures, such as chimney systems, furnaces and boilers.
Mastic – what is it and what types are available?
Mastic is a thick, plastic mass with a diverse chemical composition and properties, used mainly for sealing, bonding, filling gaps and joints in various structures. It creates durable and flexible bonds, protecting the interior from various external factors. There are various types of mastics available on the market, classified according to their chemical composition, properties and application. The most popular mastics, in terms of composition, include sealing mastics made of silicone, acrylic, polyurethane, bitumen, polymer, epoxy and butyl. In terms of properties, the most commonly chosen is fireproof mastic, but also automotive, roofing and sealing mastic for concrete.
How to use mastic in stoves and fireplaces?
Fireproof mastic is an indispensable material in the process of sealing high-temperature structures. It can be successfully used in stoves, fireplaces and chimney systems, where tightness and resistance to temperatures up to 1500°C are crucial.
