3. The new Easy Dry (ED) refractory
concretes have been developed and
tested successfully. The results in
everyday use are convincing:
• Suitable for all static areas of the cement kiln,
including kiln inlet and outlet
• Applicable with all installation procedures
• Meeting the demands for fast heat-up and re-commissioning
• Significant energy savings
• Simple storage and easy handling

5. EASY DRY (ED) –
Five concrete advantages.
Significant
energy savings
• Fast re-commissioning
thanks to short installation
and drying times
• Minimized heat-up risks
Simple
application
• Simple mixing with water
• Only one component,
no additional binder
• No additional equipment
• Short installation time
• For all installation methods
• Most of the mixing water
is physically bonded.
Unproblematic
storage
• Storage time up to 2 years
(type-dependent)
• Insensitive single-component sys-
tem, also when stored in winter
• Available in bags or big bags

6. High strength
• Optimum ratio of strength
and elasticity
• Low expansion properties
• Less sensitive to stress
• Optimized microstructure,
reduced water vapour pressure
• Use in all static areas
• Suitable for the nose ring
Fast drying
• Duration of re-commissioning
up to 70% shorter
• Duration of heat-up phase
to operating temperature
up to 60% shorter
• No waiting time after removal
of the formwork

7. EASY DRY (ED) – OUTSTANDING PROPERTIES.
Easy Dry refractory concretes and cement-containing ones.
Apart from the successful material
properties of cement-containing
refractory concretes, the new
cement-free (ED) refractory con-
cretes have been matched precisely
to the specifications of the cement
industry:
