Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF) and Non RCF Products
The Ceramic materials we offer are categorised into 3 main groups.
Fiberfrax is a family of Refractory Ceramic Fibre products based on a composition
of Alumina and Silica. There are two different temperature
ratings - 1260ºC & 1430ºC.
Insulfrax S is a Calcium-Magnesium Silicate, which is body
soluble. Therefore this product has not got the same Health & Safety
classification as RCF (Refractory Ceramic Fibre Products).Insulfrax S has
a temperature classification of 1200ºC. See attached product information
sheet.

Isofrax. Like the Insulfrax group of products Isofrax
is body soluble. However Isofrax is based on a composition of Magnesium
Silicate, which allows this
product to be classified as 1260ºC.
We are also able to supply the High Temperature Saffil blanket, which is
rated at 1600ºC.
Each of our products, Fiberfrax, Insulfrax and Isofrax is available in a
wide range of forms. This ranges from Bulk Fibre, Blanket, Papers, Felts
and Boards
and all 3 Items can also be manufactured into Textiles, Ropes, Pre-Formed
shapes, Cements & Mastics.
Bulk Fibre
There are 2 different types of Bulk Fibre. There is the Chopped Fibre and the
Lubricated Fibre. The most common use of Bulk Fibre is for the packing of expansion
joints in Furnaces or to repair any Spalling or damaged blanket or Modules
in Furnace linings or for the packing of Kiln Car bases. For these applications
you would use the lubricated Fibre.
The benefits of using Bulk Fibre are that it is Easy to Install, comes in 1260
and 1400 Temperature Classification, is Lightweight and has the Thermal Characteristics
of Blanket.
Fiberfrax Durablanket.
The Fiberfrax Durablanket family of lightweight needled blankets provides
effective solutions to a wide spectrum of thermal management
problems. Fiberfrax Durablanket comes in two grades. The Durablanket S, which
is 1260, rated and the Durablanket Z, which is 1400 Rated
Fiberfrax Durablanket S is a premium grade product made from spun 1250ºC
Ceramic Fibres. The extra long spun fibres make it one of the strongest blankets
available.
This along with its resilience makes it particularly tough and suitable for
applications involving further handling or in difficult environments.
Fiberfrax Durablanket Z is a high temperature blanket made from spun Zirconia
stabilized ceramic fibre. It is a highly efficient insulator with extremely
low shrinkage at higher temperatures, low heat storage and offers complete
resistance to damage from Thermal Shock. Fiberfrax Durablanket Z is ideally
suited to use in high temperature furnace linings.
The blanket we supply is available in 3 different densities (96Kgs/m3, 128Kgs/m3,
160 Kgs/m3) and 5 different thicknesses (6mm up to 50mm). However should
you require a lower density product, which in the case of Ceramic Fibre means
Lowering Insulating Values, we are able to offer the 64 Kgs/m3. The roll
width can be supplied in 610mm or the double width 1220mm.
Typical Applications Include:
Investment Casting Mould Wrappings, Removable Insulating Blankets for field
stress relieving welds, Re-Usable Insulation for Steam and Gas Turbines,
Flexible High Temperature pipe Insulation, High Temperature Kiln and Furnace
Insulation,
Soaking pit seals, High Temparture Gaskets, Glass Furnace Crown Insulation,
Incineration Equipment and Chimney Stack Linings.
Fibre Boards
We have 3 grades of Fibre Board available. The 1260, 1430 and the 1600 Grade.
Each of the High temperature Rigid boards is produced from a range of Refractory
Ceramic fibre blended with organic and inorganic binder systems. Each of
the boards exhibits good chemical stability, resisting attack from most corrosive
agents. The boards are designed for use in applications, which require high
strength and rigidity coupled with high temperature stability and excellent
thermal performance.
Fibre Board Availability:
The 1260 and 1430 Grade Boards are readily available in 1000 x 610 and 1250
x 1000. The thicknesses range from 3mm upto 75mm. The 1600 Grade Board is only
available in sizes of 1000 x 500 x 25 or 50mm.
Typical Applications:
Each of the boards has excellent characteristics, including:
• High Temperature Stability
• Low Thermal Conductivity
• They Are Easy to cut and/or machine
• Good Flexural and compressive strength
Many of our Boards can be found in applications such as:
• Rigid High Temperature Gaskets and seals
• Hot Face Furnace linings
• Refractory back-up Insulation
• Fire Protection Systems
• High Temperature Baffles and Muffles
• Glass Tank Insulation
• Hot Gas Duct Insulation
• Back-Up Insulation on metal delivery systems
• Ground Flares and
• Heating Systems (Including Industrial and Domestic Appliances.
We have our own in-house die-cutting equipment, which allows us to meet
our customers’ demands, no matter how complex the shape.
Other RCF Products available include Felts and Papers. The felts we offer are supplied in
either Roll form or sheets sizes of 1250 x 1000. The thicknesses range from
3mm
upto 25mm and are available in our 1260ºC and 1430ºC range. They have
excellent Thermal performance and flexibility, which makes the felt ideal
for uses
as High Temperature Gaskets, Mould Wrap, Refractory Back-up and Insulting
of Pipeworks and Hot Top Insulation in the Steel Industry.
The Paper we offer can again be offered in each of the grades I have
mentioned before. The papers are made from high purity Ceramic Fibers
with a small
amount of Organic binder. Advanced production techniques ensure a highly
uniform structure
throughout which is characterized by low thermal conductivity, good handling
strength and easily cut with standard equipment. They are available in
thicknesses from 1mm to 8mm and are commonly used as gaskets in Industrial
and Domestic
Boilers, Aluminium Ingot Mould Liners and Expansion Joints.
Modules
We are able to offer Modules again in 1260ºC, 1430ºC and the Insulfrax
and Isofrax range. The Modules we supply are used in a variety of industries.
If installed correctly the Modules will provide a solid ceramic fiber lining
without
shrinkage problems or uncontrolled heat penetration.
The Ceramic Fiber Module Lining has numerous design features. These include:
• High Strength lining which is resistant to corrosion
• Unidirectional pattern of Ceramic fiber shapes allows for maximum compression
and ensures tight uniform linings. Preventing Heat Loss.
• Easy and quick to install
• Minimum maintenance costs as 1 module can be removed if needed
Ropes & Textiles
We
manufacture a wide range of Ropes and Textiles ranging from 550ºC-1260ºC and
includes Ropes, Braids, Cloths, Tapes and Specially Fabricated Items such as
Protective Gloves.
Cements, Mastics and Mixes.
The heading of Cements, Mastic and Mixes covers a wide range of products available
1. It is a product manufactured from Ceramic Fiber or 2. A product, which Compliments
the Ceramic Fiber Range.
For example the LDS mouldable is manufactured using the Ceramic Fiber of your
choice and can be used for the filling of any gaps, expansion joints and general
maintenance on existing refractory. We have even introduced a system that allows
us to make Hot Spot Repairs. This will require us to make a hole in the outside
of the casing of the Furnace and Pump the mouldable through the existing Refractory,
therefore filling the Hot Spot.
Then we have the Rigidiser type materials. These are the range of products
that can be used to upgrade the Ceramic Fiber materials you are using. For
example Rigidiser can be sprayed or brushed onto Ceramic Fiber Blankets, Boards
and Paper and increases the surface hardness and erosion resistance. Flame
resistance improves considerably and permeability to gases or molten metals
is reduced with the coating of Rigidiser.
