The IZOFLOX cartons provide excellent thermal barrier and optimal operating temperatures in the whole range of high-temperature processes
Rigid millboards are used as gaskets, heat shields, furnace lining and heat insulation layers in equipment or construction.
They come as sheets with thickness from 2 to 10 mm.
The cartons manufactured by the molding method have low thermal conductivity and are used as gaskets, insulating layers, etc. These cartons can stay in an open fire for a long period of time.
Molded cartons are supplied as sheets with thickness from 5 to 25 mm.
Flexible cartons are used for insulating curved surfaces. They are also used for furnaces lining, mould insulation, as fireproof doors’ fillers and as inner layers of high temperature gases compensators.
They are supplied as rolls with thickness from 0.5 to 6 mm.
Rigid millboards are manufactured from a mixture of mineral, silicate, ceramic fibers and fillers by multilayer calendering. Each layer has thickness about 0,2 mm, that is the millboard with thickness 5 mm consists of 25 layers.
The multilayer structure makes the sheets rigid and elasticity. The density of millboards of this group exceeds the density of other types of cartons in 4-5 times.
Advantages:
- higher strength compared to other types
- can be used for curved surfaces insulation
- large range of thicknesses
- good dielectric features
good soundproof features
Disadvantages:
- generates smoke at initial heat
- requires skills to shape it in a curved shape
Rigid cartons are perfect for furnaces lining. If the mounting surface of the furnace has a spherical shape, the carton just needs to be slightly wet and it will take the required shape.
The monolithic shape of the cartons of this group doesn’t let them take a shape other than a flat plane. Therefore they are rarely used for furnaces lining.
Flexible cartons are not convenient to be installed inside round arches. In addition they are too soft for this task.
The cartons of this group, as it can be seen from the name, are manufactured by the molding method. Silicate and aluminosilicate fibers, mineral bindings and high temperature fillers are used as the main manufacturing material. These cartons almost do not evolve fumes at initial heat, have low thermal conductivity coefficient and can be used in a direct contact with fire.
Advantages:
- low thermal conductivity
- doesn’t evolve fumes at initial heat
- resistance to open fire under pressure
- good dielectric features
good soundproof features
Disadvantages:
- can be used only for insulating straight surfaces
- minimum possible thickness of 5 mm
- fragile
Main features of molded cartons appreciated by the manufacturers:
- lightness
- do not evolve smoke at initial heat
- do not smell
- low thermal conductivity
- high application temperature
- resistance to open fire
- easy to cut and install
Flexible cardboards consist of high-temperature fibers and binding components. They practically do not emit smoke during initial heating, have a very low coefficient of thermal conductivity and can be used in direct contact with fire.
Flexible cardboards are supplied in rolls.
Advantages:
- low thermal conductivity
- can be used to insulate a surface with any kind of curvature
- wide range of thicknesses
- minimum amount of evolved smoke
- good dielectric features
good soundproof features
Disadvantages:
- evolves a little amount of smoke at initial heat
Rigid cartons can be shaped accordingly by light moisturizing, bending and drying, but this process requires experience and time.
Molded cartons cannot be bent. They are fragile. They can be cut into small sectors in exceptional cases. This construction won’t have high strength.
Flexible cartons can be easily used for any surfaces insulation. They can easily take any required shape and can be coiled in couple of layers, if needed.
In cases where carton gaskets are not strong enough, we offer rigid composite gaskets based on the high temperature IZOLTEX cloths. The withstand temperatures up to +1200 C and high pressures. Maximal thickness is more than 30 mm.
