Which fire-resistant materials have good viscidity?
Viscidity is necessary for gunning mix, repair mix and bordering. It is too broad to which has good viscidity. Both gunning mix and repair mix are powder before adding water. Bordering also has little viscidity before heating. The question shoule be more specific.
The viscidity of fire-resistant materials is also known as the binding performance of fire-resistant materials. It can be divided into chamotte and chemical binder. Both can work at normal or high temperature. The most commonly used chamotte are soft clay and aluminate cement. The commonly used chemical binders include sodium silicate, phosphoric acid, aluminum sulphate, aluminium phosphate, phenolic resin, etc. Fire resistant material is a complicated and overloaded system and we cannot know its materials and chemical components from the name alone. Both gunning mix and repair mix contain binder components. If they can used after adding water, then they may contain clay or fire resistan aluminum silicate cement.
