Refractory Insulation Material Calsicate is SIR's ground breaking innovation in green industrial building products. Versatile, this product is the ideal thermal insulation solution for a wide range of Refractory Insulation Material. These blocks are made with calcium silicate and can be used for to insulate high-temperature applications like ducts, boilers, steam pipe lines and furnaces among many others. Their high load-bearing capacity makes them ideal for heavy-duty equipment across industries. In addition, Refractory Insulation Material are literally maintenance-free and have a life of more than 20 years. Their inherent low thermal conductivity provides enormous savings in energy consumption. Enhanced operational efficiencies, lower energy costs and eco-friendliness make Calsicate a revolutinary product in industrial insulation. Properties Strong in intensity: The strongest inorganic thermal insulation material in intensity as compared with other nearest density products.Hot-resistant: Not out of shape under the service temperatureWater-resistant: Strong in intensity wet or dryThermal insulation: The lower thermal conductivity than other hard mass thermal insulation materials. Uses Cacium silicate thermal insulation widely be used in Electrical power, Petroleum and chemical industry, Ship-Building, Machining units, Glass industry, and other equipments and pipes of thermal networks in order to conserve energy, reduce the hot-loss, lower the environmental temperature, improve working conditions, raise efficiency. It is main thermal insulation material in industry, such as Boilers, Steam Engines, Steam pipe, Ovens, Distillation tower etc. Moisture resistant thermal insulation material is also used in waterproofing.
