DUALINVEST LTD.

Formed shape products are produced either by moulding or by vacuum-forming fibres to fill a wide range of requirements not met by other product forms. These pre-formed shapes are manufactured by blending fibres, with specially selected inorganic and organic binders to give insulating shapes with exceptional characteristics. The vacuum forming manufacturing method permits considerable freedom to vary shape, thickness, density and hardness. Our shapes often provide the most economical answer to producing large quantities of parts in simple or complex configurations for a wide range of high temperature applications. We have a vast range of products already available and work closely with our customers to develop the right product for the application. New tooling can be developed within short lead-times. Shapes used in 1100 to 1800 C of heat environment.

Microtherm microporous products are extremely good thermal insulation. Their flexibility is made up of solid chips packed in glass fiber textiles. Due to this special structure, curved surfaces can be applied. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Glass Industry Household Appliances Aircraft Manufacturing Vehicle Industry TECHNICAL DETAILS Operating temperature: up to 1000 °C Density: 130 - 400 kg/m3 Pressure resistance: 740 kN /m2 Conduction: 0.028 W / mK (400 °C) Composition: SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3 VARIATIONS Microtherm Super G Microtherm Super G Hydrophobic (water-repellent)

Contains no organic binder. The resultant sheets are self supporting, flexible, lightweight with exceptional thermal performance characteristics and produce no emissions on firing. Excelfrax 550 Felt exhibits thermal performance approaching that of Microporous products and can therefore be used whenever space is limited or premium thermal performance is required. The sheets are available in a wide range of standard sizes, are easily cut and can be formed into geometrically demanding shapes or around complex contours. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Exceptionally low thermal conductivity Organic binder free Resistance to thermal shock Good handling strength Extensive thickness range Easy to cut with standard tools TYPICAL APPLICATIONS High performance back-up insulation Domestic appliance (ovens, heaters, boilers etc.) Automotive heat shields Fuel cells Cryogenic applications

Dualinvest paper and felt products consist of a group of wet-laid C materials. The materials are manufactured using Unifrax alumino-silicate fibers wet-laid with a latex binder system to form a randomly oriented matrix. These products are flexible, light weight, and posess excellent thermal characteristics.
