HTI Grades for Vacuum Forming
Saffil Ltd pioneered the development of high performance vacuum formed products
in the late 1970's. It was found that by wet processing Saffil fibres in
combination with various binders, boards and complicated shapes could be formed
on metal gauze under vacuum. These shapes were then dried and in some cases
pre-fired to form finished products with a range of properties. Altering the
composition of the Saffil in relation to other fibres or powder fillers can
modify these properties to meet a wide range of insulation applications. It was
also found that by utilising a slightly different process and binder system
boards and shapes with 1700 and 1800°C temperature ratings could be formed. High
purity negligible shot content, very low thermal conductivity and low trace
elements are particularly attractive properties of Saffil fibres that lend
themselves to the vacuum forming industry. Saffil fibres can also be treated
after manufacture to optimise processes, which require the production of very
high specification vacuum formed products. Saffil Ltd in conjunction with its
partner companies throughout the world is able to offer vacuum formed solutions
to meet most high temperature insulation
problems.
