Vitrobond Ingot Capping Compound (5 Bags, 50LB Bags)

Vitrobond Ingot Capping Compound is a reliable, high-performance solution designed for concrete compressive strength testing. Engineered to ensure precise and consistent results, this sulfur-based, carbon-filled dark gray compound is easy to store, handle, and use, making it an excellent choice for laboratories and field applications alike. With its smooth melting and pouring properties, Vitrobond ensures even load distribution, helping you achieve accurate and repeatable test outcomes.

Exceptional Strength and Performance

• Vitrobond delivers impressive compressive strength, exceeding 5,000psi (34.4kPa) within just two hours and increasing to 7,000psi (48.3kPa) after seven days.
• The compound also boasts a tensile strength of 600psi and a modulus of rupture of 1,300psi, as per ASTM C307 standards, ensuring durability and reliability under testing conditions.

Packaging and Usability

• Each 50lb (23kg) carton contains ten 5lb (2.27kg) ingots, designed for easy handling and convenient storage.
• The ingots are easy to break into smaller pieces for controlled melting, with an optimal pouring temperature range of 280°–300°F (138°–140°C).
• It’s important to note that the compound should not be heated above 320°F (160°C), as overheating may compromise its performance.
