*NEW* CAPPING COMPOUNDS
Vitrobond® High Strength
VITROBOND HIGH STRENGTH CAPPING COMPOUND is a mineral-filled, sulfur-based compound formulated for capping concrete test cylinders. It is easily melted, pours smoothly, possesses higher compressive strength and gives consistent test results. Atlas’ sulfur-based capping compounds have been used for many years by independent testing laboratories, pre-stressed concrete structures manufacturers and federal, state and local testing agencies. This compound is suitable for running compressive strength tests upon high strength concrete. VITROBOND HIGH STRENGTH CAPPING COMPOUND offers the following advantages:
Ready-to-use—just melt and pour. No mixing or possibility of low strength or erratic results from improper proportions.
Does not require controlled room temperature or humidity conditions during pouring of caps.
Does not require moist curing or other tedious handling procedures.
Not affected by dry cylinders.
Can be tested two hours after cooling.
Virtually no settling in the melting pot, thus, results are uniform from cylinder to cylinder.
ANCHOR BOLT SETTING COMPOUND
Vitrobond® Anchor Bolt Setting Compound
Vitrobond is a plasticized, hot-pour silica filled, sulfur based mortar. It is easily melted, pours smoothly and is dense and strong. It has the necessary qualities of a setting compound for securely and permanently anchoring bolts and threaded studs in concrete for fastening machinery, handrails, partitions, etc. VITROBOND offers the following advantages:
Twice as strong as concrete
Sets hard within minutes
Ready to be put to use as soon as it has cooled
Resistant to vibration, thermal shock or physical shock
Excellent adhesion to steel, iron and concrete
The low viscosity of Vitrobond at the pouring temperature allows the product to completely fill the irregularity between the hole in the concrete and the anchor bolt
Not affected by outdoor weathering
No waste—what is melted but not used can be allowed to cool, then remelted later and used
Low cost

GRINDING WHEEL HUBS
Carbo-Vitrobond GW
Atlas' custom formulated product for grinding hubs provides the following advantages:
For use on vitrified grinding and abrasive wheel hubs
Specific Gravity is lower than lead, resulting in less weight per hub
Shrinkage is lower than lead
Provides an excellent bond to the wheel and will not lose strength or adhesion under conditions of vibration, thermal or physical shock
Self-lubricating to the drive shaft
INSULATOR COMPOUNDS
Vitrobond® 120
The jointing compound must contain at least 55% refined sulfur completely soluble in carbon disulfide and present primarily in the rhombic form. It must contain not more than 45% of a properly selected aggregate. The aggregate must be at least 90% silica and have a particle size so distributed as to give optimum physical properties.
