Zirconia Bulk Fibres 2200°C
Zirconia bulk fibres Type ZYBF are yttria stabilized zirconia fibres available in three different forms, all having useful properties up to 2200°C. These polycrystalline fibres can be vacuum formed into rigid shapes, placed into cavities as loose fill insulation, or added to ceramic bodies and coatings for reinforcement. They are differentiated by fiber length, surface area, crystallite size and porosity. Typically, these fibres are 6 to 10 microns in diameter and have a serrated outside surface.
Zirconia Fibres length
- ZYBF1 : ~0,5 - 1 cm
- ZYBF2 : ~200 µm
- ZYBF-5 : ~500 µm
Zirconia bulk Fibre applications
-
ZYBF can be vacuum formed into rigid shapes.
-
ZYBF is used as an additive in ceramic fibre vacuum formed products to improve refractoriness.
-
ZYBF can be added to our Zirconia Cement Type ZR-CEM and used as a coating or as a filler for holes, bonding of mis-matched surfaces, and repairing cracks and openings in furnace walls composed of zirconia insulation.
-
ZYBF can be placed into cavities as loose fill insulation or used as furnace packing.
-
ZYBF is used as thermal insulation in many industrial furnace applications. It is ideal for applications where an insulation exhibiting extremely low thermal conductivity is required.
-
ZYBF is used in aggressive chemical environments due to its high purity stability and stability. It is stable in vacuum, inert or reducing atmospheres.
