ceramic fibre

This problem in concrete is resolved by the introduction of reinforcing components such as metallic bars, ceramic fibres etc.

A NEW material that could replace asbestos, silica or ceramic fibre based products is about to come on the market.

Refractory materials such as firebrick, castable refractories and ceramic fibre, are used for insulation.

The range includes the silica-based Tygasil products which attract none of the safety concerns associated with other barrier materials such as asbestos and ceramic fibres.

A report on the environmental conditions at seven European ceramic fibre plants by JW Cherrie and others.

In the 1950s, the term "Refractory Ceramic Fibre" was coined for the aluminium silicate fibres developed at this time.

In the 1960s aluminium-silicate-based "Refractory Ceramic Fibre" were launched on the market in Europe.

Later research showed that ceramic fibre woven shields offer better protection to hypervelocity ( 7 km/s) particles than aluminium shields of equal weight.

The term "man-made mineral fibres" is generally used to refer solely to synthetic materials including fibreglass, ceramic fibres and stone wool.

Packing with inherently fire-resistive materials, such as rockwool or ceramic fibre is intended to protect sealants that would, on their own, be consumed by the fire.

Ceramic fibre is commonly used for the roof and wall of the furnace and is graded by its density and then its maximum temperature rating.

Recent improvements of these sprays replace asbestos with aggregates of MMMF (man-made-mineral-fibres) including rockwool and ceramic fibres.

As far back as the 1970s, it was apparent that when one uses enough high temperature qualified insulation, such as ceramic fibre, one is assured of a rating.

The newly made pots are glazed when they are completely dry and are fired to 1,285 Centigrade in their 'top hat ceramic fibre glass kiln' which they designed and built.

These include refractory ceramic fibres, which are used industrially as insulation in high-temperature environments such as blast furnaces, and certain special-purpose glass wools not used as insulating materials.

Although even today the term "Ceramic Fibre" or "Refractory Ceramic Fibre" is commonly used it is inaccurate in terms of the materials available, their specific properties and limitations.

With its cast iron painted case, delightful Victorian style brass finish and realistic ceramic fibre "coals", the Main Masquerade goes beautifully with the "Classic" fire surround, available in a choice of four marble colours.

IOM scientists also conducted a study of the respiratory health of workers manufacturing Refractory Ceramic Fibre in Europe, showing small though inconsistent effects on respiratory health associated with inhalation of these fibres.

Calcium silicate board can be used, or other methods including boards made of vermiculite, bonded and pressed with sodium silicate, flexible wraps made of ceramic fibre and rockwool, or ceramic fibre wraps treated with endothermic materials.

On 13 January 2010 some of the Aluminosilicate Refractory Ceramic Fibres and Zirconia Aluminosilicate Refractory Ceramic Fibres have been included in the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern.
