The monolithic refractories of the present invention are primarily used as a patching mix; however, they may be trowelled or vibration cast into place. The maximum service temperature for the refractories is about 3100° F. These refractories adhere very well to the existing refractories and resist cracking or peeling specially when used to patch high alumina refractories. The monolithic materials are shipped ready to use and require no mixing on the job site.
