High Temperature Insulation Wool Coalition

High temperature mineral wool is a type of mineral wool created for use as high temperature insulation and generally defined as being resistant to temperatures above 1 000 c.

High temperature insulation wool coalition.

High temperature insulation wool is an ultra lightweight insulation material that due to its properties provides highly efficient thermal insulation for industrial furnace construction applications. Its members manufacture a broad range of htiw products that are essential in industrial applications such as the thermal insulation of furnaces other thermal process equipment automotive catalytic. Because high temperature mineral wool is costly to produce and has limited availability it. The htiw coalition represents the north american high temperature insulation wool htiw industry in matters relating to health and safety.

1990s nomenclature changed to high temperature insulation wool htiw the term refractory ceramic fibers rcfs was adopted as the original fibers were made by fusing calcined kaolin at a temperature approaching 3600 f 2000 c and then fiberizing a stream of the molten material. The properties of high temperature wool are usually determined according by the series of standards refractory products for thermal insulation en 1094 1 7. This type of insulation is usually used in industrial furnaces and foundries. High temperature insulation wools are part of a larger group of synthetic vitreous fibers svf which also includes fiberglass and mineral wool.

Temperature ranges for the application of inorganic synthetic mineral and high temperature insulation wools.
