| Kaoclad™ is the improved version of Kaowool™ Moist Felt, made from the highest quality spun fibre blanket with an inorganic hardening agent. It has excellent handling characteristics, both wet and dry. It is supplied, packed in sealed polythene bags, as moist sheets that can be moulded to follow a urved or angled profile. After drying, (preferably between 60°C and 90°C), it provides strong, rigid yet lightweight insulation with texture and properties similar to Kaowool Inorganic Vacuum Formed Board. In the moist state, Kaoclad has a shelf life of up to 6 months, provided that the bags remain sealed and are maintained at temperatures within the range 10°C to 50°C. However, it is important to protect the material against frost. The main use of Kaoclad is as a protective hot face layer covering soft substrate fibre and other products, and where a contoured profile is required. Applications: - Hot face lining in furnaces, heaters and ductwork (when gas flow rate and particle erosion is too high for blanket), blast furnace tuyeres and element hanger anchor protection.
- Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Lining ladles, launders and distribution boxes.
- Power Generation Insulation of steam turbines and ancillary plant (in conjunction with blanket)
- General Combustion chamber insulation repairs to refractory linings of steam-raising boilers, recuperator linings, pipe insulation and all areas where self-supporting thermal protection is required.
