Thermal insulating refractory material ZIRCAL-45

calcium silicaterodfor high-temperature applications

ZIRCAR Refractory Composites Inc., provides a variety of non-asbestos calcium silicate structural insulations that combine high strength and excellent thermal insulating characteristics for use in a variety of heat processing, fire protection and electrical resistance applications. The unique calcium silicate structure provides excellent thermal shock resistance as evidenced in its typical use as a direct contact board for non-ferrous metals and in fire training burn rooms. They are fire resistant to temperatures approaching 1100°C(2012°F). They also exhibit low thermal conductivities that remain relatively constant over a broad range of operating temperatures. ZIRCAL-45 Refractory Board is a self-supporting, high strength, rigid refractory product fabricated from calcium silicate, inert fillers and reinforcing agents. Its high structural strength combined with high thermal insulating value make it ideal for many fireproofing and heat processing equipment applications up to 650°C(1202⁰F). ZIRCAL-45 is highly damage resistant, non-corroding, and extremely water- resistant. ZIRCAL-45 in full size 4’ x 8’ panels offer major economic advantages in the construction of ovens, dryers, and other insulated housings for the retention and control of heat. ZIRCAL-45 can be readily fabricated into various sizes and shapes for heat baffles and all types of insulating parts. It is used in fire safety applications such as fire stops, fire walls, cable trays and fire doors, and provides an ideal, incombustible base for melamine veneers.
