Refractory Ceramic Fiber Vacuum Formed Shapes - 2600 and 3000 Series

• Standard and special shapes with extremely low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal shock resistance
• Gemcolite® Vacuum Formed Shapes are uniquely formulated from a blend of high purity alumina-silica fibers with an appropriate combination of organic and inorganic binders.
• Handling strength is provided by the organic binder, and product integrity at higher working temperature is maintained by the inorganic binder.
• No asbestos, phenolic binders or exothermics are used.
• Maximum use temperature for the standard formulation is 2300°F (1260°C).

Outstanding Energy Savings

• Low thermal conductivity, low heat storage, and excellent insulating properties make Gemocolite shapes important conservers of energy.
• Superior resistance to thermal shock permits quick heat ups and cool downs without cracking or spalling.
• Non-wetting properties and high refractory characteristics are distinct advantages.

Applications include:

• Gaskets
• Flue Liners
• Range burner insulation
• Burner Nozzle
• Sleeves
• Boards for furnace and kiln insulation and linings
• Easily molded insulating wet blanket
• Combustion chambers for oil or gas fired boilers and water heaters
• Secondary combustion chambers for solid fuel heaters
