The homogeneous, fine pored structure is ideal for clean, precision machining. MONALITE® materials can be shaped easily with wood or metal processing machinery using special tools. When cut to size, the maximum allowable workplace concentration for dust generation must be observed. In general, dust extraction is recommended. 

MONALITE® boards or cut sizes can be fixed in place with glue or by mechanical means such as screws or anchors.

Non-ferrous metals

The non wetting properties of MONALITE® mean that these products are ideally suited for use in non-ferrous casting applications.

• Billet and ingot casting as transition plates, floats, spouts
• Head boxes for continuous casters
• Tips for continuous sheet casters
• Sprue bushes, tubes, nozzles and feeder box liner in low pressure die casting
• Hotface linings for dosing/holding furnaces
• Launders and dams

When used in conjunction with PROMASIL® or PROMALIGHT® / MICROTHERM® range of high performance insulation, heat loss, casing temperature and weight can be reduced.

Furnace industry

• Load bearing housings
• Structural insulation where high thermal and/or mechanical load is required

Oil & gas industry

• Collars, gaskets and pipe support rings
• Spacers and bushes
