Sizal® Board fibrous plates 1850°C
Our Sizal® range is a complete line of thermal insulators that open the way to many industrial or laboratory applications up to 1800°C. The mechanical and thermal performance of Sizal® products guarantee substantial savings in terms of energy and costs.
Sizal® Board is a range of rigid high-temperature insulation composed of polycrystalline alumina wool (PCW) fibres. Thanks to its structure, this product has excellent resistance to ruptures and/or cracking during rapid temperature rises.
Mullite fibre, also known as Polycrystalline Wool (PCW), offers an alternative to aluminium silicate fibre-based materials. These are referred to as Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF).
Sizal® Board offers not only a very homogeneous structure, but also has virtually no non-fibrous particles (shots) during its manufacture. This means is it safe to use and compliant with occupational health and safety.
Main properties of Sizal® Board
- Guaranteed use up to 1800°C
- Effective in all atmospheres, including reducing or oxidising atmospheres
- Low thermal conductivity
- Excellent thermal shock resistance
- Dimensional stability, low shrinkage and maintains geometric shape
- Stabilised chemical composition allowing a wide range of applications, with no pollution to the furnace atmosphere
- Very light, dust-free, easy to set up
- No carcinogenic classification
Applications of Sizal® Board
- Insulation panels for industrial or laboratory installations
- Furnace linings (electric and gas)
- Furnace, burner or turbine components
- Mechanical parts, part supports, and more
- Repairs
Further informations
Pre-calcination
All Sizal® Board products can be delivered pre-calcined. Cooking parts at more than 350°C eliminates all traces of organic binders that may be present in the materials. This operation avoids gas emissions and potential pollution during more sensitive applications.

Customised parts
Sizal® Board products have good machinability thanks to their homogeneous structure. We are also equipped with a machine workshop so that these materials can be used to produce technical parts. Our machining centres are equipped with suction systems, specific cutting tools, and fastening systems for more fragile parts in order to guarantee the best possible quality.
