Fiberfrax ®Fraxfil and Fraxfil HTypical Applications• Hot or cold patch repair of boiler insulation• Hot or cold patch repair of refractoryback up insulation• Furnace door frames and jamb seals• Insulation of furnace penetrations(e.g. tubes, tube hangers and thermocouples)• Hot or cold repair of heat leaks around burner blocksand sight windows• Caulking of refractory cracks and expansion jointsAvailabilityFraxfil and Fraxfil H products are available in 5 kg and 20 kgpails, in 300 g cartridges and in 600 g and 1500g sachets.Normally the 5 kg pail is used for trowelling, the 20 kg pailfor pumping and the 300 g cartridge for caulking. The 600gand the 1500 g sachets are supplied for use with either airor hand operated applicator tools.The material in the 20 kg pail is supplied pre-packed in aplastic bag for ease of transfer to a separate straight-sidedpail for use with the recommended pump unit. This isessential for a successful pumping operation.Installation & drying proceduresFraxfil can easily be installed by using the approvedequipment. Details of recommended pump units,applicator tools and caulking guns are available uponrequest from Unifrax local sales offices.When installed by pumping into ‘hot spot’ areas onboilers or furnace casings, a standard pipe connection isnormally used to which the pump unit is joined.Installation of the fitting is achieved by drilling the casingand welding or screwing the fitting into place. Subject tothe size of hot spot area to be filled, fittings positioned0.6 to 1.2m apart will ensure proper filling of the void.Always commence the pumping operation at the bottomlevel of the void.Typically, when pumping Fraxfil into blind areas or voidssuch as behind boiler and furnace refractory linings orinto refractory joints and cracks, it will air dry over aperiod of time. However, air drying is a slow processeven under ideal conditions.Since the dryingcycle is not critical, firingor heat up of the equipmentor furnace willremove the water quicklyfrom the Fraxfil material.Supplied by:Handling InformationA Material Safety Data Sheet has been issued describingthe health, safety and environmental properties of thisproduct, identifying the potential hazards and givingadvice on handling precautions and emergencyprocedures.
