TRACIT-1000

TRACIT-1000 is a non-hardening heat transfer cement formulated specifically for externally cooled tanks and vessels utilizing clamp-on (plate-type) coils.

Applied between the cooling coil and vessel wall prior to installation, TRACIT-1000 eliminates air gaps and creates a conductive thermal interface that improves heat removal efficiency. Because TRACIT-1000 remains pliable, it maintains continuous surface contact during thermal expansion and contraction cycles. The compound is water-resistant, non-curing, and easily removable for maintenance or system modifications.

TRACIT-1000 is recommended for cooling service applications up to 300°F (150°C). For heating service, use TRACIT-1100.

•  No premixing or curing required.
   
• Apply a uniform 1/8"–1/4" layer using a hand trowel to mechanically mounted surfaces such as clamp-on coils.
   
• Ensure full surface contact to eliminate air gaps.
   
• In cold environments, product may be warmed (up to 80°F) to reduce viscosity and improve workability.
   
• Remove excessive dirt, rust, or loose coatings prior to installation for optimal performance.
   

• Do not expose to open flame or strong oxidizing agents.
   
• If removal is required, scrape off with hand tools and use an industrial degreasing agent as needed.
   

Wear protective gloves and eye protection during handling.
