Benefits of Saffil Fibre

Saffil Fibres – benefits

For refractory applications, SAFFIL fibres' benefits include:

• Stability to 1750°C
  
• Resistance to chemical attack
  
• High resilience
  
• Low linear shrinkage
  
• Very low 'shot' content (negligible)
  
• Lightweight
  
• Low thermal conductivity
  
• Low thermal mass
  
• Immunity to thermal shock
  
• Ease of fabrication
  
• High strength & modulus
  
• Uniform fibre diameter
  
• Safe to handle

For other applications, such as filtration and catalyst supports, special grades of SAFFIL fibre are available which offer additional valuable features:

• Reactive surface sites
  
• Large surface area
  
• High strength and modulus
  
• SAFFIL fibre, 96 - 97% alumina, is available in mat, bulk, blanket and milled bulk fibre forms.

Products made with SAFFIL fibre can be engineered to be stable to 1750°C. SAFFIL fibre-containing products such as veneering modules, boards, vacuum formed shapes and papers are available for a range of temperatures 1100°C to 1750°C.
