TRACIT-300

TRACIT-300 is a hardening heat transfer cement designed for industrial heat tracing systems operating up to 750°F (400°C).

It is recommended for steam, electric, hot oil, and glycol tracing installations used for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance. When cured, TRACIT-300 forms a rigid, highly conductive bond between the tracer and the process surface, improving heat transfer efficiency and stabilizing pipe temperatures. In many applications, a single heat trace line installed with TRACIT-300 can deliver performance comparable to multiple bare tracers.

TRACIT-300 is also suitable for use inside heating jackets and in plate-type coil applications exceeding the temperature limits of non-hardening mastics.

Maximum service temperature: 750°F (400°C)

Minimum service temperature: -320°F (-196°C)

Minimum installation temperature: 32°F (0°C)

Heat transfer coefficient, Ut, heat source (tracer) to pipe wall: 20-40 Btu/hr•°F•ft2 (114-227 w/m2•°C)

Bonding strength: 200-275 lbs/in2 

Water-soluble: Yes

Nominal electrical resistivity:  0.365 ohms-inch (0.927 ohms-cm)

Shelf life: 1.5 years in unopened can. Keep lid sealed tightly when not in use. Store at room temperature. Tracit-300 is serviceable as long as it is moist and adheres to contact surface.

Container sizes: 5-gallon can, 1-gallon can, quart can, pint can, 10 or 32 oz. caulk cartridge, 55-

gallon drums. 

TRACIT-300WW should be requested when lower viscosity is required.

TRACIT-600A is recommended for process temperatures exceeding 750°F.

• 30 linear feet per gallon when applied to 1/2" O.D. tracing
• Flat surface (plate coil) coverage rate is 12 sq. ft. per gallon 

• Wear protective gloves and eye protection during handling.
   
• Remove loose paint, rust, scale, oil, and debris from contact surfaces prior to application.
   
• Stir compound before use. If compound becomes thick, up to one ounce of water per gallon may be added and mixed thoroughly.
   
• Apply a thin, uniform layer (approximately 1/4") to the tracer and fully encase the tracing line.
   
• For thicker applications, apply in 1-inch layers to prevent sagging and allow curing between layers.

• Cure by heating 12–24 hours at 180–212°F (82–100°C), or
   
• Air dry above 32°F (0°C) until fully hardened.
   

No curing is required when installing with Chemax CC Channels or in certain plate-type coil applications.

• Protect from moisture during installation.
   
• Do not expose to acid.
   
• Store sealed at room temperature.
