Alphawool™ Fibre
Our Polycrystalline Wool fibre designed for extreme temperature insulation
Alphawool fibre is a high-quality, high-performance crystalline alumina fibre with a maximum operating temperature of 1600°C. In addition to the conventional ceramic fibre characteristics of light weight, high insulation, and low heat storage, it also has excellent resistance to heat shrinkage and chemical corrosion at ultra-high temperatures.
Alphawool Blankets
Needle-punched from high-purity alumina fibres, with a classification temperature up to 1600°C. Their main features include:
- High dimensional stability at 1600°C
- Excellent chemical resistance in oxidising, neutral, and mildly reducing atmospheres
- Excellent compression resistance and resiliency
- Exempt from carcinogenicity classification under EU Directive 97/69/EC
- Not subject to RCF regulations
- Alternative to chromium-containing refractory ceramic fibres (RCF), with improved EHS credentials
Alphawool Modules
Available in prefabricated modules, designed to meet the thermal insulation requirements of high temperature furnaces, with various anchors and other accessories to enable quick, convenient and efficient installation in most furnace linings.
