Vitrobond Ingot Capping Compound (50LB Bag)

Vitrobond Ingot Capping Compound (50LB Bag) for Concrete Compression Testing

Vitrobond Ingot Capping Compound is a high-performance, sulfur-based compound specifically designed for precise concrete compressive strength testing. Engineered for ease of use, this dark gray, carbon-filled compound melts and pours smoothly, ensuring consistent and reliable results every time. Its formulation provides optimal load distribution during testing, making it an essential tool for accurate strength evaluations.

Superior Strength and Performance

Vitrobond delivers impressive compressive strength, exceeding 5,000 psi (34.4 kPa) within just two hours and increasing to over 7,000 psi (48.3 kPa) after seven days. With physical strength ratings of 600 psi tensile strength and 1,300 psi modulus of rupture (as per ASTM C307 standards), this compound is both durable and dependable for rigorous testing environments.

Easy to Use and Efficient

The compound comes in convenient 50 lb (23 kg) cartons, each containing ten 5 lb ingots. These ingots are easy to break for melting, achieving a pouring temperature of 280°F–300°F (138°C–140°C). Its smooth pouring capability minimizes errors and ensures even capping for consistent test results.

For optimal performance, avoid heating above 320°F (160°C) as it may compromise the compound's properties. Additionally, overuse of release oil can influence cap strength, so application should be carefully managed.

Cost-Effective and Scalable

Vitrobond is available in bulk quantities to suit your operational needs. Ordering five or more cartons qualifies for a value price option, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale projects or laboratories with high testing volumes.
