Thermal Ceramics has developed the first bio-persistent insulation fibre with a classification temperature up to 1300 deg C, called Superwool 607TH. The fibre has been developed for high temperature applications including the glass manufacturing industry. It offers lower shrinkage than comparable insulation fibres. This eliminates gaps or hot spots in furnace linings, reducing costs associated with maintenance and replacement material. Superwool 607HT is exonerated from carcinogen classification under the provisions of EU directive 67/548/EEC and so glassmakers can reduce costs associated with meeting increasingly stringent health and safety regulations without compromising on thermal performance.
