Foundry Service offers Ceramic Fiber board, blanket, paper, felt, and custom vacuum formed shapes made from the highest purity raw materials available. Ceramic Fiber is an aluminosilicate based refractory fiber that is white and odorless. It resists temperatures as high as 3200º F and extremely light weight with very low thermal conductivity. It provides excellent hot face insulation at high temperatures with excellent thermal shock resistance, even when exposed to direct flame. It also resists corrosive chemicals such as commonly used acids and alkalis. Ceramic fiber products are excellent substitutes for asbestos products in many insulation and sealing applications.
(7) High-performance paper and felt products from Thermal Ceramics are the preferred choice over traditional fiberglass, textile, or metal products for thermal, acoustical, or filtration management.
Thermal Ceramics Kaowool Wet Felt is manufactured by combining Kaowool ceramic fiber with an inorganic bonding agent. It is very pliable with good green strength. Wet Felt may be cut into any size or shape, or it may be formed or molded. It will conform to any surface or contour. When dried or fired, it becomes a lightweight resilient insulator which can be sawed, cut, or sanded. It will not crack or spall or be wet by molten aluminum. It may be used in temperatures up to 2300ºF.
Kaowool Wet Felt is a highly efficient insulator. Its longer fibers give it the high tensile strength and resiliency to with stand vibration ...
Introduction 3M™ Nextel™ Continuous Filament Ceramic Oxide Fibers 312, 440, 550, 610, 650 and 720 represent a major advancement in refractory fiber technology. These metal oxide fibers can be readily converted into textiles which meet demanding performance requirements in high temperature operating environments. Fabrics, paper, tapes, sleevings and yarn are typical products.
Additionally, the fibers have low elongation and shrinkage at operating temperatures, which allow for a dimensionally stable product to be made. These novel fibers also offer good chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, ...
