Low Cement Castables
Low Cement Castable (LCC) is a monolithic refractory with low cement content (typically under 3%), high density and good thermal shock resistance for lining furnaces, kilns and ladles. Kemindo supplies grade TSLC 75 (Al₂O₃ ≥ 75%) as a consumable for the nickel smelting industry.

Low Cement Castable (LCC) is a type of refractory material used in high-temperature applications. It is a monolithic refractory product composed of fine and coarse aggregates, a binder system and additives. As the name suggests, LCC contains a lower percentage of cement than traditional castables, typically less than 3% by weight. This reduction in cement content improves its performance characteristics, such as higher density, better thermal shock resistance and reduced porosity.
Low Cement Castables are widely used in industries such as steel, cement, petrochemicals and power generation, where they line furnaces, kilns, ladles and other high-temperature equipment.
