The present invention relates to a refractory binder that comprises a mixture of aqueous phosphate and silica sol. The silica sol has been found to gel and set in a surprisingly effective and useful way. Preferably, the refractory binder further incorporates a small amount of magnesia as an accelerator. The present invention also provides a method of binding a refractory material such, for example, as alumina, zirconia mullite or aluminium silicate by using a refractory binder according to the invention. |
