Summary of Property 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 |
For other applications, such as filtration
and catalyst supports, special grades of Saffil Fibre are available which offer
additional valuable features:
| • | Large surface area (CG) |
| • | High strength and modulus
(RF,RG,RM) |
| • | 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.
