WHAT IS FIBERSTONE®

Fiberstone® is a high temperature ceramic–steel composite of high purity refractory ceramic and up to 35% by weight of custom produced stainless steel fibres.

There are a variety of ceramics and fibres used, with the recommended combination being dependent upon the intended application and the conditions it will be subject to.

Fiberstone® is supplied as a preformed cast shape; the design of which takes into account application conditions, internal reinforcement required and method of installation.

Advantages of Fiberstone®

TOUGHNESS

Unlike refractory, Fiberstone® can tolerate impact.

THERMAL SHOCK

Good thermal shock properties mean you can heat up and cool down Fiberstone® just like metal.

CREEP

Good creep resistance means Fiberstone® will hold its shape under constant stress.

ABRASION and WEAR

Fiberstone® provides better resistance to abrasion and wear than metal or refractory.

POROSITY

Relatively low porosity when compared to refractory material means Fiberstone® provides better resistance to chemical attack.

ELECTRICALLY NON–CONDUCTIVE

The stainless steel fibres are insulated by the ceramic matrix meaning Fiberstone® performs well in electrical applications.

THERMAL INSULATOR

The relatively low conductivity of Fiberstone® means it will protect metal structures against heat.

Up to 35% by weight of custom produced stainless steel fibres.

Fiberstone® has been the subject of stringent, independent tests and development with the following institutions. Please contact us for more details of the results.
