High-temperature fibres
The fibres used in our high-temperature fibre products vary depending on the type of application and the temperature of the intended environment.
Available in different shapes according to the intended use:
- Tapes
- Ropes
- Braided sleeves
- Fabric
- Needle felt
- Needle-punched felt
Needle felt mats can be laminated with aluminum foil.
E-glass fibre
- Continuous temperature resistance up to 550˚C (1020˚F)
- Excellent acoustic insulation
- Excellent thermal insulation
Used as insulation in various household appliances such as refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers and dryers.
E-glass is also used as a filler in mufflers and as thermal insulation panels.
Silicon fibre
- Continuous temperature resistance to over 1000˚C (1830˚F)
- Excellent thermal insulation
Silicon fibre is used as insulation in exhaust systems, as a filler in mufflers, and as thermal insulation panels.
Aluminum, heat-reflective insulation sheets
Self-adhesive aluminum sheet
Used as an insulator and reflector against radiant heat, this product easily conforms to irregular surfaces. Economical product available in 2 mil and 3 mil thicknesses.
Service temperatures range from -40˚F to 300˚F (-40˚C to 149˚C)
Self-adhesive aluminum reinforced with woven fibreglass
The blend of aluminum and woven fibreglass make this a product of choice for applications in high-temperature environments, in restricted spaces and/or on irregular surfaces.
- The exposed aluminum acts as an excellent reflector against radiant heat
- The woven fibreglass offers thermal protection up to 550˚F (287˚C)
- Service temperatures range from -40˚F to 550˚F (-40˚C to 1020˚C)
Blend of aluminum and fibreglass felt or polyester needle felt
This blend is an attractive alternative to traditional metalized heat protectors.
- Particularly effective in reducing the temperature of components when the heat source is very hot
- Effective soundproof solution without the noisy nature of traditional metal protectors
- Excellent tear resistance
- Low moisture absorption
Available with high‑performance adhesive, depending on the application surface. Available in 3 mm and 6 mm thicknesses.
Ceramic fibre paper
Ceramic fibre paper is an economical, high-performance replacement for asbestos paper. It is recommended in continuous-use temperatures up to 1260˚C (2300˚F).
- Lightweight
- Resilient, conforms well to different shapes
- Low thermal conductivity
- Good dielectric strength
- Good flame resistance
- Resistant to thermal shock
- Uniform composition
