Foamfrax Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) & Isofoam Soluble Fiber High Temperature Insulation Products

Unifrax Corporation has manufactured Fiberfrax high temperature insulation products since 1942. Industry requirements for a monolithic fiber-based high temperature insulation solution, that can be rapidly installed over complex surface geometries, led to development of Foamfrax and Isofoam High Temperature Insulation materials.

Foamfrax and Isofoam High Temperature Insulation products are advanced gunnable foam/fiber materials for monolithic furnace lining and other thermal insulation applications. They offer exceptional energy savings and installation speed for upgrades of existing fiber linings, lining over existing refractory, full thickness linings, and furnace lining patches or refits.

Unifrax Corporation offers a range of advanced foam/fiber materials to fit a variety of high temperature insulation requirements:

  • Foamfrax High Temperature Insulation available with 4 refractory ceramic fiber grades
  • Isofoam (2300°F/1260°C Isofrax Soluble Fiber) High Temperature Insulation
  • Composite high temperature insulation furnace lining systems may be easily designed and installed by combining different foam/fiber grades in layers

    Major Constituents Of
    Foamfrax & Isofoam
    High Temperature Insulation

    Both Foamfrax and Isofoam High Temperature Insulation materials, are 3-component monolithic insulation systems, comprised of:

  • specially conditioned bulk refractory ceramic fibers or soluble fibers
  • an inorganic binder
  • an organic foaming binder

    Foamfrax High Temperature Insulation is formulated with Fiberfrax refractory ceramic fiber (RCF), and recommended continuous use temperature varies up to 2800°F (1538°C), depending upon the particular fiber grade deployed:

  • Foamfrax RG (Refractory Grade - 1800°F/982°C RCF) Insulation
  • Foamfrax Grade I Fiber (2300°F/1260°C RCF) High Temperature Insulation
  • Foamfrax Grade II Fiber (2600°F/1427°C RCF) High Temperature Insulation
  • Foamfrax Grade III Fiber (2800°F/1538°C RCF) High Temperature Insulation
  • Isofoam High Temperature Insulation is formulated with Isofrax soluble fibers, in order to comply with European in-vitro solubility regulations for glass fiber high temperature insulation products. Isofoam High Temperature Insulation is recommended for continuous use to 2300°F (1260°C)

    Foamfrax & Isofoam Application Case Studies

    The Foamfrax / Isofoam High Temperature Insulation installation process combines the bulk fiber material with the inorganic and organic binders in a patented mixing mechanism creating a homogeneous foam/fiber mixture. The installation machinery propels this mixture through a feed hose and nozzle, and the high temperature insulation material is then simply and efficiently gunned onto the target surface.

    The proprietary Foamfrax / Isofoam binder system and patented installation method completely encapsulate the fibers with the foaming binder, minimizing airborne fiber levels during installation. The interlocking network of fibers provides a strong, uniform monolithic structure having excellent thermal insulating properties, very low heat storage, and excellent resistance to thermal shock.

    Foamfrax & Isofoam Application Case Studies

    Foamfrax & Isofoam High Temperature Insulation products are characterized by, low thermal conductivity, low heat storage, excellent thermal shock resistance, light weight, and superior corrosion resistance. The excellent thermal stability, and the low-density form of Foamfrax and Isofrax products, make them ideal for a wide range of high temperature insulation applications.

    Foamfrax High Temperature Insulation is widely applied in power generation, industrial chemical processing, petroleum refining, and various other industries including ferrous & non-ferrous metals processing, and ceramic/glass processing.

    Foamfrax & Isofoam High Temperature Insulation materials are used to insulate metal, refractory, or ceramic fiber surfaces at temperatures up to 2800°F (1538°C). Foamfrax and Isofoam mix can be installed at rates in excess of 1000 board feet/hr, and these high temperature insulation products are used in a wide range of furnace lining and other insulating applications.

    A principal application of Foamfrax / Isofoam High Temperature Insulation is to upgrade the efficiency of partially deteriorated furnace linings. A rapid application of several inches of Foamfrax or Isofoam High Temperature Insulation onto the existing hot face surface extends the furnace lining life and improves thermal efficiency.

    Foamfrax / Isofoam High Temperature Insulation can also be installed as a full-thickness furnace lining system, by using metallic anchors, which are embedded within the Foamfrax or Isofoam layer, to retain the high temperature insulation furnace lining.
