Tracit-600A

TRACIT-600A is a high-temperature hardening heat transfer cement designed for industrial heat tracing systems operating up to 1250°F (675°C).

When cured, TRACIT-600A forms a rigid, highly conductive bond between steam, electric, or fluid heat tracing elements and process piping, tanks, and industrial equipment.

It is recommended for high-temperature process maintenance applications including electric tracing, ring heaters, strip heaters, platen heaters, and heat exchangers where elevated surface temperatures are required.

Maximum service temperature: 1250°F (675°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-600A 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.

• 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.
