Speciality Applications
Catalyst Support
Saffil Fibre Catalytic Grade mat with fibre surface
areas up to 150m2/g are excellent for catalyst support systems or flameless
heaters due to the very efficient utilisation of expensive precious metal
catalysts.
Filtration
Filters made from Saffil Fibres are
highly efficient due to the fibre's uniformity and absence of 'shot'. The
filters remain effective in aggressive conditions and so are excellent
candidates for applications involving either hot gases or corrosive liquids.
Electrical
Due to its high purity and chemical inertness
products such as Saffil papers, felts and mat make excellent separator materials
in battery and electrical equipment.
Protective Clothing
Due to
the uniformity of fine fibre diameters and absence of non-fibrous materials,
Saffil Fibre mat and felt forms make excellent inner liners for protective
clothing. The liners are lightweight, resilient and offer smooth handling
characteristics. This allows easy manufacture of composite textiles using
thermal ´resistant facing fabrics for use in high temperature and chemical
splash protection.
