3R2500

Silica

Made of special glass fibers with a filament diameter of 6-9 mm, this silica mat represents a modern product generation that, in any aspect, meets with all stringent requirements as to temperature consistency and environmental health standards.
The fibers are formed mechanically without the use of chemical bonding agents. The 3R2500 keeps a very high chemical and physical stability up to 1832°F.

Applications

Because of its low thermal conductivity it is the ideal raw material for the production of flexible insulating mats. It is easy to cut and is non-combustible. The 3R2500 can be used for the following applications : industrial ovens, chimneys, boilers, steel industry, gas exhaust systems, laboratories and fire protection.
