Beware of imitations
Do not confuse Morgan Thermal Ceramics’ reputable products with imitations and false claims
currently circulating in the market.
Morgan Thermal Ceramics is aware that fibre imports are claiming to have low biopersistence,
to conform to current EU H&S regulations and to be identical to Morgan Thermal Ceramics’
Superwool ® material are being offered at highly competitive prices. Neither a comparison between
the outward appearances of fibre products or the feel of the products can be used to distinguish
between different fibre products. When a simple test on a sample which was marked as ‘low
biopersistent’ was made using the latest AES-vs- RCF solubility test kit it was found the claimed low
biopersistent product was in fact RCF. It should be emphasised that low biopersistent products are
exonerated from EU legislation and RCF is classified as carcinogenic 2 (1b).
Further tests using X-ray instrumentation (XRF chemical analysis) determined that the fibre was
actually a 1400 grade RCF product. This ultimately constitutes an unethical evasion of H&S regulations
in Europe where regulations are becoming very stringent for RCF use.
BEWARE: Look for the brand
Morgan Thermal Ceramics has also been made aware of several occurrences in the market where
customers have received what was presented to them by other manufactures as ‘Superwool ® ’
products, available at competitive prices, tested and able to withstand the temperatures and
applications intended as stated on our technical data sheets. However, once ordered the product
received was an ‘imitation of Superwool ® ’ and not what they had originally tested.
