Calcium Silicate Materials
Contain No Asbestos
MICROCAL is a new generation of asbestos-free, partially microporous calcium silicate boards for back-up insulation in a wide variety of industries. It is reinforced with special organic fibers in order to increase mechanical strength and machinability. Due to its properties, it can replace ceramic fiber refractories and high density calcium silicate materials.
MICROCAL is a lightweight material with very low thermal conductivity and low heat capacity. It contains microporous and radiation-absorbing fillers to form a new generation of insulation boards with the optimum combination of best insulation and compressive strength. This allows a better temperature control, lower heat loss, and lower cold face temperatures.
MICROCAL is easy to machine with regular woodworking tools (or SiC, diamond tipped).
