Superwool Plus engineered for superior chemical resistance and zero crystalline silica formation

Superwool® Plus offers the same benefits as the other membersof the Superwool family but with improved handling strength andenhanced thermal properties. Superwool®Plusis manufacturedfrom pure raw materials using a new manufacturing technology.In addition to enhanced thermal properties, large nuisance dustparticles have been effectively eliminated making the product softto the touch and less irritating during use.

Superwool®PlusBlanket is made of long Superwool fibres having the same chemical formulation as the original and wellproven Superwool 607®product. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities. It exhibits outstanding insulatingproperties at elevated temperatures.

Superwool®PlusBlanket has excellent thermal stability and retains its original soft fibrous structure up to its maximum continuous use temperature. Superwool®Plusis needled fromboth sides and possesses high strength, before and after heating. Superwool®PlusBlanket contains neither binder nor lubricant and does notemit any fumes or smell during the first firing. Superwool®Plusis flexible,easy to cut and shape and easy to install. (CAS number: 329211-92-9).

Classification Temperature

With Superwool® Plus, the consistent use of pure raw materials in all our factories Globally has lead to the 4% shrinkage temperature rising from>1100°C to >1200°C. For this reason, the classification temperature isnow given as 1200°C in line with the EN1094 norm.

Superwool® 607® has been proven over many years to withstand continuous use in an oxidising atmosphere at 1000°C. This temperature is quoted as the Maximum Continuous Use temperature. For applicationsabove 1000°C, Thermal Ceramics recommends Superwool®607HT®whichhas a classification temperature of 1300°C

High TemperaturePerformance

Permanent linear shrinkage after 24hours isotherm heating at 1200°C <1%

Thermal Conductivity(ASTM C-201)

Following the decision by the European standards committee to withdraw the Thermal Conductivity test according to ENV1094 as being inaccurate, Thermal Ceramics has decided to quote all Thermal Conductivity data according to the well established ASTM C201 method.
