Refractory Ceramic Fibre Paper: a lightweight refractory material processed from a blend of high purity alumina-silica fibres into a highly flexible, uniform sheet. It is recommended for continuous use at temperatures up to 1260°C, has low shrinkage, good handling strength, and low thermal conductivity. It contains a small amount of organic binder for processing which makes it flexible yet reduces off-gassing and odour during use.
Our ceramic paper has a highly uniform structure due to its controlled basis weight and thickness, assuring homogeneous thermal conductivity and a clean, smooth surface ideal for gasketing or sealing. It is completely free of asbestos and is designed to be an economic replacement for asbestos paper in most applications.
Its flexibility allows it to be wrapped or rolled to fit most complex configurations.
Note: our ceramic paper is normally supplied in loomstate form. In the manufacture of ceramic yarn a certain small percentage of organic binder is used to aid spinning. This can sometimes cause "flashing" at high temperatures. This can be avoided if the product is heat cleaned prior to use or if the organic impurities in the product can be allowed to burn off in situ on application for the initial period.
In light of health and safety concerns for refractory ceramic fibre we strongly urge our customers to consider our S-TEX Silica, Belcotex® 110 Fibre, HT Modified Glass or Bio Soluble alternatives.
