STELLAR MATERIALS, INC.#1231Northville, Michigan

Thermbond is a unique refractory technology withfeatures and benefits unavailable in traditionalrefractories. Thermbond is completely and natu-rally non-wetting to aluminum. Thermbond bondspermanently to other refractories so existing lin-ings may be veneered and repaired rather thanreplaced.

Thermbond may be cast, troweled, gunned, hot-gunned, pumped, or rammed for permanent re-pairs or new installations.
