TRACIT-1100
Non-Hardening Heat Transfer Cement for Clamp-On/Plate Coil Applications
TRACIT-1100 is a non-hardening heat transfer cement designed for externally heated or cooled tanks and vessels utilizing clamp-on (plate-type) coils.
Applied between the coil and vessel wall prior to installation, TRACIT-1100 eliminates air gaps and creates a highly conductive thermal interface. This significantly improves heat transfer efficiency by maximizing surface contact and conduction.
Plate-type coils installed with TRACIT-1100 can experience up to a tenfold increase in heat transfer rates compared to installations without conductive mastic. Because TRACIT-1100 remains pliable, it maintains intimate surface contact during thermal expansion and contraction cycles. The compound is waterproof, non-curing, and functions as a corrosion barrier.
TRACIT-1100 is recommended for heating applications, while TRACIT-1000 is formulated for cooling service.
For drum pumping applications, request the lower viscosity formulation TRACIT-1100A.

Installation Instructions
- 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.
Removal
- 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.
