Other Details

The Artite powder, we present, is sulphur based cement that is a plasticised compound meant for Bell & Spigot. These are processed in accordance with the actual specifications of well-defined bodies. Our powders are meant for both chemical effluent hot water mains as well as cold water. The specifications of these are:
 

• Joints of Stonewares Cast Iron Pipes and Metallic Clumps
• The plasticiser makes it resistant to mechanical & thermal shocks or vibration
• These have high chemical resistance
• Less expansion and shrinkage than unplasticised material
• There is less 'initial leakage'
• These leaks reduce rapidly as the joints dry
• The powder seizes the iron of the pipe by chemical action and holds on it very tightly
• Due to this the joint becomes strong and firm
• Unlike lead, these require no caulking
• These merely need to be melted or poured back
• The mains are ready to use a few hours after pouring the last joint
• These are water-proof and are packed in a water-proof packages
• These must be stored in a dry place
• To start a batch melting, these can be put directly into the pot from the bag
• These powders melt readily and make good contact with the sides of the pot
• These are uniform throughout with no crystals or indications of separation
• These are used as an electrical insulating cement in over-head & outdoor insulators
