| Vacuum formed products are rigid, self-supporting fiber insulation manufactured from a slurry of ceramic fibers, binders and other proprietary ingredients. Customers are provided with optimized, engineered solutions from our wide range of formulations. These include hand-pouring ladles, sampling ladles, and ladle liners. Vacuum formed products, which are both compressed and bonded, have significantly greater density than non-bonded ceramic fiber. As a result, they are 33% more efficient than non-bonded fiber. Heat flow through vacuum formed fiber is greatly reduced leading to more onsistent metal contact. When these characteristics are considered in terms of ladles and ladle liners, these products offer definite advantages over typical ladles and ladle liners on the market. For hot pour ladles used exclusively in the aluminum market, where maximum protection against ontamination of critical alloys is required, the Alfibond® formulation is strongly recommended. Alfibond is an alumiphobic material with exceptional resistance to chemical deterioration by molten aluminum. Alumiphobic describes Alfibond’s lack of affinity or aversion to molten aluminum.Information provided by Morgan Advanced Materials |
