Tamping Paste or Lining Paste is used in the Ferro Alloys & Allied Industries for the lining of the
furnace, it is either Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) based or ECA Coal based and soft pitch as
the binder.

The manufacturing process of Tamping Paste or Lining Paste is similar to the manufacturing
process of Electrode Carbon Paste with differences in fraction sizes of CPC / ECA Coal and
the brcontent of Binder Pitch is lower then Electrode Carbon Paste.

The thermal insulation of the furnace pots is essential; therefore, tamping paste has low binder
contents and must be heated before use. The working temperature during tamping is very
important ideally the best working temperature during tamping is 1300 C to 1500 C.
