Has a low heat conductivity at high temperatures and resists high gas velocity, which makes it ideal for boiler ducts, for kiln linings in glass and ceramics and for stack lining.
Benefits
High temperature stability
Excellent strength and hardness
Low thermal conductivity, sound transmission, and heat storage
Uniform density and excellent resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack
Excellent rigidity and modulus of rupture make the boards strong and self-supporting, yet relatively lightweight and easy to cut or machine
Resistant to oxidation and reduction
Permits fast thermal cycling without cracking or spalling
Resists penetration by molten aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
Applications
Insulating support to brick and castable
Furnace hot face lining
Industrial heat process equipment insulation
High temperature gasket and seals
Flue & chimney linings in furnaces or kilns
Molten metal trough covers
Expansion joints
Industrial heat shields and thermal barriers
