Blankets
NUTEC MaxWool - High-Temperature Insulating Blankets
MaxWool 2300 high-temperature insulating blankets are designed using high purity, long strand spun ceramic fibers to provide superior thermal insulation. These blankets are highly effective for high-temperature applications up to 2300°F (1260°C). One of the significant technical benefits of MaxWool 2300 is its production method, which involves a strong needling process, resulting in a completely inorganic product devoid of any binders. Such characteristics ensure no emission of smoke or flame during usage. Its physical properties include low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal shock resistance, high tensile strength, and the ability to absorb sound. Additionally, these blankets facilitate ease of installation and require no dry-out time or curing, crucial for minimizing downtime in industrial processes. They find diverse applications, ranging from furnaces to high-temperature piping, effectively serving industries such as oil and gas, steel, ceramics, and power generation.
Boards
NUTEC MaxBoard - Refractory Ceramic Fiber Boards
MaxBoard LD 2300 is a low-density refractory ceramic fiber board manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances, offering an optimal surface finish. These boards are essential in applications where aesthetics, performance, and uniformity are key. Rated for temperatures up to 2300°F, they are suitable for various high-temperature applications. The boards are produced from alumina and silica blends, creating high resistance to velocities, vibrations, and erosive forces. They are known for their low thermal conductivity, minimal heat loss, and heat storage qualities, making them ideal for furnace linings, boiler ducts, and stacks. MaxBoard LD 2300's high modulus of rupture and uniform density facilitate machining and cutting processes and ensure stability under thermal shock and resistance to non-ferrous metals. However, they are susceptible to phosphoric acid and concentrated alkali. With no asbestos content, these boards are safe to handle and install, fitting well into ceramics, glass, steel, and appliance-related industries.
Bulk & Engineered Fiber
MaxWool® - High-Temperature Insulation Fiber
MaxWool® Fiber 2300 Series is a high-temperature insulation product crafted from refractory ceramic bulk fiber. It is produced by melting high-purity alumina and silica using an advanced spun process. This insulation material is tailored for applications that require thermal resistance up to 2300°F (1260°C). Key characteristics include low thermal conductivity which minimizes heat loss, low heat storage for quicker cool-down periods, and excellent thermal shock resistance. Additionally, the fibers boast good chemical resistance and are asbestos-free, ensuring safety in various environments. MaxWool® fibers serve as the foundational material for constructing an array of insulation products such as blankets, moldables, and vacuum-formed boards. These features make it a preferred choice across industries like appliance manufacturing and transportation, where thermal performance is critical. The addition of zirconia in the MaxWool® Fiber 2600 Series further enhances its temperature handling capabilities for even higher heat applications.
