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-60 is an incombustible, self- supporting board that combines high insulating values, fire safety, and exceptionally high compressive strength in a variety of fire protection and heat processing applications. Damage-resistant ZIRCAL-60 insulation is a non-asbestos material formed from calcium silicate with inert fillers and reinforcing agents. It combines structural strength and thermal insulation properties in a single material. Because of its thermal insulating values and high compressive strength, ZIRCAL-60 structural insulation is especially well suited to withstand both the temperatures and pressures associated with platen press operations. It also provides durable, low maintenance insulation for large diameter pipe support systems in the power generation and process industries. It provides an ideal backup insulation in rotary kilns in lime and cement plants, and steel ladles, torpedo cars and tundishes in steel plants.
