These fibers are randomly oriented during manufacturing and then held in place with a latex binder system. A specialized paper-making process is utilized to form uniform lightweight, flexible materials, including Insulfrax Paper.<\/p>\n<p>Insulfrax Fiber, utilized in Insulfrax Paper, is based upon a calcium, magnesium, silicate (CMS) chemistry. This CMS fiber chemistry has been successfully used to solve a variety of application problems from 800\u00b0F (427\u00b0C) up to 2012\u00b0F (1100\u00b0C). In addition to high temperature resistance, Insulfrax Fiber meets European regulatory requirements (Directive 97\/69\/EC).<\/p>\n<p>The calcium, magnesium, silicate chemistry of Insulfrax Fiber provides superior wetting resistance to molten aluminum alloys. Testing with corrosive aluminum alloys at elevated temperatures has proven that Insulfrax is superior to traditional alumina\/silica refractory ceramic fibers.<\/p>\n<p>Insulfrax Paper will generate small amounts of smoke and trace element outgassing during initial exposure to temperatures above 450\u00b0F (232\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insulfrax Paper Advantages<br \/>\n<\/strong>Insulfrax Paper offers many unique problem-solving advantages, which include:<br \/>\n\u2022 High-temperature stability up to 2012oF (1100\u00b0C)<br \/>\n\u2022 Meets European regulatory requirements<br \/>\n\u2022 Superior wetting resistance to molten aluminum<br \/>\n\u2022 Low thermal conductivity<br \/>\n\u2022 Flexibility<br \/>\n\u2022 Easy to wrap, shape, or cut<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typical Product Properties<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Screen-shot-2013-08-12-at-3.20.42-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3116\" alt=\"typical_product_properties\" src=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Screen-shot-2013-08-12-at-3.20.42-PM.png\" width=\"408\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Screen-shot-2013-08-12-at-3.20.42-PM.png 408w, http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Screen-shot-2013-08-12-at-3.20.42-PM-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insulating Value<br \/>\n<\/strong>The following table summarizes the insulating characteristics of Insulfrax Paper.
