M-Fil Fibres
Introduction
M-FIL blanket is formed from high temperature MULLITE
fibres. It has been specifically designed for demanding applications
and has a classification temperature of 1600°C. M-FIL blanket
utilises an innovative stitching/self needling process, which produces
a product with significantly improved gas erosion characteristics.
These and other properties make M-FIL suitable for the most demanding
high-end insulation applications.
Health and Safety
Mullite fibres are not subject to European legislation
97-69EC. M-FIL has been designed and made to give not only a narrow
band of fibre diameter distribution but also does not form crystobalite
when exposed to high temperatures.
Properties and Benefits
M-FIL blanket exhibits all the benefits associated
with SAFFIL products. It's lightweight, low thermal mass properties
enables it to cope with the most demanding industrial insulation
applications
Thermal Conductivity
Controlled fibre diameter and low-shot has a
direct bearing on thermal conductivity of fibre products. M-FIL
is a significantly better insulator than other fibres by up to 50%
in some cases. M-FIL is increasingly being used as fuel costs escalate
and cost saving solutions are required. M-FIL more than meets these
needs by cost effectively providing a stable, long lasting thermal
barrier.
Chemical Resistance
M-FIL shows a good resistance to chemical attack
and shows very good resistance to alkali and low Ph.
Thermal Shock Resistance
The low heat storage and fibrous structure avoid
the problems normally caused by thermal shock. Faster cycle times
are possible that offer advantages in the form of reduced fuel consumption
and increased capacity.
Typical Applications
M-FIL blanket can be used in most module configurations.
Modules can be supplied to any specification and anchoring systems
installed / designed to your specific requirements. M-FIL blanket
is flexible and resilient and can be used for expansion gaps, seals
and thermal backing in kilns.
