Cerafelt is an insulating refractory felt, manufactured with our Cerachem® fibres by hotpressing. Cerafelt is bonded with an organic binder which begins to burn out at 180°C (356°F).
This special binder makes Cerafelt particularly suitable for die-cutting operations. Semi rigid, it is neither brittle nor dusty.
Cerafelt optimizes the manufacture of complex, die-cut shapes to close tolerances.
With a choice from eight densities and seven thicknesses, Cerafelt offers a grade to suit most requirements.
Features
• Wide range of densities: eight grades from 48 up to 384 kg/m3 (3 up to 24 pcf)
• High temperature resistance
• Very low thermal conductivity
• Particularly suited to cutting operations; with saw, water jet or by stamping
• Flexible or semi-rigid, depending on density selected
• Chemically stable
• High sound absorption properties
• Precise thicknesses
• Resistant to thermal shock
• Low heat storage
Applications
• High temperature gaskets
• Expansion joints for furnace, kiln and boiler linings
• Die cut shapes for domestic appliances
• Thermal barrier media
• Insulating thermal break
