Insulating Material features high-temperature design.

Press Release Summary:

Consisting of alkaline earth silicate material, Superwool® 607® HT(TM) offers safe-to-use alternative to traditional fiber-based insulation. Product's low biopersistence means that inhaled fibers are rapidly removed by natural processes within body. With classification temperature of 1,300°C, low shrinkage, and low thermal conductivity, insulation is suited for kiln linings, heat treatment furnace linings, heat containment, and boiler walls.

Unique High-Temperature Insulating Material is Safe to Use and Offers Outstanding Performance

Oakdale, PA ... Goodfellow, an international supplier of metals and materials for research and industry, has announced the availability of Superwool® 607® HT(TM), a range of versatile, high-temperature, fiber-based insulation products that are safe to use and retain their outstanding properties even at elevated temperatures. This alkaline earth silicate (AES) material has the added advantage of providing superior insulation in minimal space. Safe-to-use alternative to traditional fiber-based insulation
Historically, fiber-based insulation products have often been accompanied by health issues associated with their use. However, Superwool® 607® HT(TM) was developed as a safe-to-use alternative material with low biopersistence, meaning that inhaled fibers are rapidly removed by natural processes within the body. Outstanding properties for a wide range of industries and applications
In addition to this important safety feature, Superwool® 607® HT(TM) has outstanding properties that make it ideal for use in the glass, ceramic, and petrochemical industries as well as in foundries and civil construction :
o Very low thermal conductivity, for maximum energy savings in minimal space
o Low shrinkage, which avoids hot spots and reduces costly maintenance
o High classification temperature (1300°C)
o Good strength
o Thermal stability Applications for Superwool® 607® HT(TM) high-temperature insulation materials include:
o Kiln linings
o Heat treatment furnace linings
o Ladle and trough covers
o Heat containment
o Boiler walls For more information about Superwool® 607® HT(TM), call Goodfellow at 1-800-821-2870, email info@goodfellowusa.com or visit www.goodfellowusa.com/production/ceramics/superwool-607-ht/. About Goodfellow
