INDUSTRIAL CERAMIC FIBER PRODUCTS
Industrial Ceramic Fiber Insulating Board
AGIS' industrial ceramic fiber board is a lightweight, low density product ideal for most standard insulating applications. Utilizing a wet forming manufacturing process, the boards combine a blend of alumina-silica ceramic fibers with both organic and inorganic binders to improve handling strength and ensure board integrity at high service temperatures. (Where present, the organic binders burn out between temperatures of 450° and 600°)
Advantages: Low thermal conductivity, low heat storage, stability at high temperatures, excellent resistance to thermal shock, chemical attack, water and oil damage, reduced refractory heat-up and cool-down time, light weight for ease of handling, cutting, drilling, sawing and machining, excellent acoustic insulation
Properties and characteristics: Continuous use limit: up to 2300°F; melting point: 3200°F; thermal conductivity: 1.53°F per BTU-in/hr/ft2 at 1800°F; density: 16 PCF (pounds per cubic foot); color: white
Sizes: Thickness: 1/8" to 2" Sheet size 42" x 48" to
24" x 48"
Applications: With its 16 PCF density, Agis ceramic fiber board is well suited for
