Introduction to HTIW Products
Low Biopersistent Wool (LBP)
Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF)
Polycrystalline Wool (PCW)
- Made of synthetic vitreous and polycrystalline mineral wools
- Defined by a classification temperature above 1832°F (1000°C)
- Typically used at temperatures above 1100°F (600°C)
- Necessary for many high-tech products due to their versatile characteristics
- Essential for minimizing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
- Used at much higher temperatures than most other glass and rock wools
Some Common Characteristics of HTIW:
- High temperature resistance
- Low thermal conductivity
- Excellent thermal shock resistance
- Chemically neutral
- Great flexibility
- Low thermal mass
- Light weight
High Temperature Insulation Wools are part of a larger group of Synthetic Vitreous Fibers (SVF), which also includes fiberglass and mineral wool.
Temperature ranges for the application of Inorganic Synthetic Mineral and High Temperature Insulation Wools.
