REINFORCEMENT Fibreglass DIAMETRES FROM 6mm TO 50mm CONSTRUCTION Ends of ceramic yarn wound and twisted together in a single rope LENGTH OF ROLL For 6mm & 8mm :100m For 12mm and above :50m OPERATING TEMPERATURE 600°C depending on the exact application. The material will withstand brief excursion temperatures depending on conditions. FINISH LOOMSTATE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION SiO₂ - 50% to 52% Al₂O₃ - 47% to 49% TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Mgo, Na₂O - Remainder GENERAL Ceramic fibre products are made from a melting of aluminium oxide and silica. The resultant fibres are white, cotton like in appearance and show a high thermal stability, low conductivity of heat and good chemical resistance. As pure ceramic staple fibre cannot be processed to textile products, organic fibres are added as a spinning aid. The organic share of cloth, tapes and ropes is between 15% and 20%. These organic fibres will burn off on first thermal contact and will result in an ignition loss of up to 15%.
