REFRASIL high-temperature silica cloths provide continuous thermal protection from 982°C to 1260°C (1800°F to 2300°F). These textiles are continuous filament, amorphous silica products with the exceptional thermal performance and characteristics of a refractory material.

REFRASIL®: Key Specs and Benefits
REFRASIL textiles have a melt point temperature of approximately 1593°C (2900°F) and a continuous-use design temperature of 982°C (1800°F). REFRASIL is designed to provide exceptional thermal and strength properties while maintaining desirable flexibility up to 982°C (1800°F).

REFRASIL cloths are available in standard offerings such as UC series and pre-shrunk (C series) forms. The cloths can also be treated for abrasion-resistance (AR series) and elevated continuous temperatures of up to 1260 °C (2300 °F) (Irish series).

In addition, the UC series fabrics are available with specialty coatings such as silicone rubber, aluminum foil, pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA), and neoprene rubber.

Features and benefits of REFRASIL cloths include the following:

Suitable asbestos replacement
Excellent spark and molten metal shielding
Highly resilient
Fire-resistant
Resists damage from molten metal and radiant heat
Compatible with most harsh chemicals
Low halogen content
High dielectric strength
Minimal off-gassing
Low thermal conductivity
No known health hazards
Amorphous structure
Very cost-effective

Why does Armil CFS only use BNZ insulating brick in our furnaces?

Benefits of BNZ Materials' Insulating Firebrick:
1. Excellent Insulation: BNZ insulating fire bricks provide superior insulation due to their lightweight materials, ideal for thinner furnace walls, increasing efficiency, and lowering energy costs
2. Strength and Durability: Despite being lightweight, BNZ fire bricks are known for their strength, making them suitable for self-supporting structures even at high temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance
3. Low Heat Storage: BNZ fire bricks have very low heat storage, enabling rapid heating of furnaces and reducing fuel costs, especially in cyclically operated heating equipment
4. Accurate Dimensions: Crafted with precision, BNZ fire bricks have accurate dimensions that allow for quick installation, reduced mortar usage, lower downtime, and labor costs
5. High Purity: BNZ insulating fire bricks are manufactured with high purity levels, containing low impurities that could affect refractory performance negatively
6. Customization: BNZ offers a wide range of sizes and shapes, including specially cemented and machined shapes, ensuring a perfect fit for various applications with minimal heat loss and better operating costs

Difference Between BNZ Brick and Imported Chinese Brick:

· Quality Assurance: BNZ Materials ensures high-quality standards with rigorous ASTM testing to guarantee purity and performance
In contrast, imported Chinese bricks may vary in quality control.
· Precision and Consistency: BNZ fire bricks are machine-cut to precise measurements, offering tight joints that minimize heat loss and improve operational efficiency Imported Chinese bricks may lack this level of precision.
· Range of Grades: BNZ provides over 10 different grades of insulating fire bricks tailored to specific thermal requirements, offering versatility for various applications
