ICHS Fiberfax® Alumina-Silica Ceramic Fibers
Categories: Ceramic; Oxide; Aluminum Oxide; Silicon Oxide

Material Notes: Fiberfrax® ceramic fibers are made from high-purity alumina-silica materials. ICHS uses Fiberfrax® ceramic fiber to manufacture vacuum-formed products in:
  • High-Temperature Ductwork
  • Combustion Chambers
  • Exhaust Flues
  • Incinerators
Offers high-temperature stability, low thermal conductivity, low heat storage, excellent thermal shock resistance, light weight, superior corrosion resistance and excellent sound absorption.

These fibers can be further modified to improve thermal conductivity to meet customer requirements. The fibers resistant to oxidation, reduction, and attack from most corrosive agents. Exceptions include hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid and strong alkali solutions. If saturated by water or steam, thermal and physical properties are restored upon drying.

Fiber Diameter is 2-3 µm; LOI is 6-7%; Shrinkage in 24 hrs. is 4.5% at continuous use limit or 1.8% at 920°C.
