Thermal Ceramics A5 RPC Shapes
Categories: Ceramic; Oxide; Silicon Oxide

Material Notes: RPC A5 is an economical insulating material produced by blending alumina-silica fibers and alumina fibers with high purity silica binders. The alumina fibers form a matrix within the material, and give it high temperature capability. The high temperature capability is further enhanced by employing ammonia stabilized colloidal silica rather than sodium stabilized product. At elevated temperatures, residual sodium acts as a flux and reduces the refractories maximum use temperature.

Features:

  • No organic binders
  • Complex shape capability
  • Low thermal conductivity and minimal heat storage
  • High resistance to thermal shock and spalling
  • Low shrinkage
  • Light weight
  • Applications:

  • Bullnose tiles
  • Burner blocks
  • Combustion chamber construction
  • Diffusion furnaces
  • Flue and exhaust stack liners
  • Furnace components
  • General molten metal contact
  • Peep door frames and plugs
  • Heat shields
  • High temperature gaskets and seals
  • Hot tops for super alloy casting
  • Molten aluminum contact
  • Semiconductor processing equipment
  • Shapes for laboratory furnaces
  • Shapes in ammonia reformers
