| DESCRIPTION All three grades of blanket have the same excellent chemical stability compared with their raw materials: Cerafibre™, Cerachem™ Fibre and Cerachrome™ Fibre spun bulk. They have excellent strength before and after heating. They have superior acoustic as well as thermal insulation characteristics. The wide range of available densities and thicknesses allow for the most effective deployment of the superior thermal characteristics in a wide variety of applications. TYPE Refractory fibre blankets CLASSIFICATION TEMPERATURE Cerablanket™: 1260°C Cerachem™ Blanket: 1425°C Cerachrome™ Blanket: 1425°C The maximum use temperature depends on the application. In case of doubt, refer to your local Thermal Ceramics distributor for advice. FEATURES - Excellent insulating performance. - Unaffected by most chemicals except hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids and strong alkalies. - Excellent thermal stability: fibres have good resistance to devitrification. - For some applications, it is possible to use Cerachrome Blanket above its classification temperature (shrinkage is 5% at 1500°C). - Low heat storage. - The combination of long spun fibres and the needling operation produce tough, resilient and strong blankets, which resist tearing both before and after heating. - Resistance to thermal shock. - Good sound absorption. |
APPLICATIONS:- Furnace and kiln linings- Boiler insulations - Heat treatment temperature control - Glass furnace crown insulation - Furnace door seals - Duct linings - Pipe insulations - Thermal barriers for automotive industry - Insulation for field stress relieving of welds - High temperature filter media - Nuclear insulation applications - Steam and gas turbines insulation |
