| CERMEX® MT1800 Needled Silica Blanket is a binderless material comprised of high purity, amorphous silica fibers. In demanding applications, the abrasion and vibration resistance of this mat makes this material superior to other products manufactured from shot-containing fibers. The complete absence of shot and organic binders make this product superior in performance in severe environments where vibration can often degrade shot containing materials. The amorphous silica fibers that make up CERMEX® MT1800 mat are unaffected by most chemicals, except strong alkalis, hydrofluoric acid or sodium. Inherent to the chemistry, the silica fibers will have a tendency to shrink on initial exposure to elevated temperatures. For most industrial applications, this does not pose a problem. However, in applications where dimensional stability is critical (at elevated temperatures), CERMEX® MT1800 is available in a pre-shrunk (fired) version.Information provided by Mid-Mountain Materials |
