Basalt felt

high-temperaturefor thermal insulation

Able to withstand temperatures up to 1800°F/982°C, basalt mat/felt is made of 100% continuous-filament basalt fiber manufactured in thicknesses to suit a broad range of applications. • Versatile way to protect structural steel from fire and heat devastation • Engine exhaust systems • Hot section heat shields • Industrial and domestic furnaces • Turbines • A safe asbestos replacement • High sound absorption for noise abatement • Fire protection/containment in refineries and oil rigs • Refrigeration insulation Basalt mat/felt provides very low thermal conductivity and can withstand continuous working temperatures in excess of 1500°F/816°C, making it a flexible material that ensures exceptional high-temperature performance. With excellent drapeability, it conforms to irregular surfaces to meet a variety of design needs, while its chemical and properties make it highly durable and safe. • Non-respirable, 13 micron filament diameter • Meets chemical acceptability of NRC Guide 1.36, section C • Very high alkali and acid resistance (surpassing most mineral and synthetic fibers) • Negligible moisture absorption (less than 1% at 65% relative air humidity)environmental • Remarkable immunity to nuclear radiation, UV light and biologic contamination
