Superior performance thermal insulation panels Superwool® XTRA Unifelt™
Description
Superwool® XTRA Unifelt™ is made of low bio-persistent Superwool® XTRA fibres compositions with upgraded performances, bonded with an organic binder which begins to burn out on exposure to 180-200°C (356-392°F) and which imparts high strength prior to heating. It shows excellent flexibility properties which give good dimensional resilience after compression and make utilisation of the boards or cut pieces very easy where rigid products are unsuitable.
Superwool® XTRA Unifelt™ is supplied in a wide range of thickness combining light weight, high heat resistance, low thermal conductivity with high sound absorption properties.
Type
Vacuum formed felt manufactured from high temperature insulation wool.
Classification temperature
1450°C (EN 1094-1) 2600°F (ASTM C892-17)
The maximum continuous use temperature depends on the application, but under normal conditions this is 1300°C (2372°F) for Superwool® XTRA Unifelt™. Superwool® XTRA Unifelt™ is resistant to most chemicals except for boron and molybdenum at high levels.
