Insulfrax Paper.pdf - SIG Technical Insulation

abInsulfrax ®PaperA recent addition to our fibres productrange, Insulfrax ® is a breakthrough ininsulating materials technology. This hightemperature vitreous wool has highsolubility in simulated body fluids andhence carries no hazard classification.Insulfrax Paper is manufactured by wet mixingInsulfrax Bulk with selected organic binders onspecially developed continuous lines, offering apaper product with good handling strength,compressibility and flexibility.Insulfrax Paper can be used in a wide range ofapplications as thermal insulation and areespecially suited to use in gaskets and as aparting medium.GENERAL CHARACTERISTICSInsulfrax Paper has these outstandingcharacteristis:• High temperature stability (up to 1200 o C)• Good handling strength• Excellent flexibility• Easy to die-cut• Good thermal and acoustic insulationpropertiesTYPICAL PRODUCT PARAMETERSPhysical PropertiesColourBlueish-WhiteClassification Temp.1200 o CMelting Point> 1330 o CFibre Diameter (mean)3.2 micronsProduct Density (nominal) 150 kg/m 3Tensile Strength (as rec’d)> 250 kPa*Based on free (uncompressed) thicknessTypical Chemical Analysis (fibre wt. %)SiO 2 61.0 - 67.0CaO 27.0 - 33.0MgO 2.5 - 6.5Al 2 O 3 < 1.0Fe 2 O 3 < 0.6Loss on ignition < 12%*Classification temperature is not a definition of the operational limit of theseproducts, especially when long term physical or dimensional stability is a factor.For such applications, operational limits are generally significantly reduced.
