All data represents typical results of standard tests conducted under controlled conditions. As such, the information is intended
only as a general guide for specifications and design estimates.
HP and HTZ are manufactured by the "spun" process. This process produces long fibres that give our fibre products more strength.
LT, RT & HT are manufactured by the "blown" process which produces a finer, softer blanket ideal for applications such as molding
around investment casting forms.

Ceramic fibre paper, is a lightweight
refractory material processed from a
blend of high purity alumina-silica
fibres into a highly flexible,
uni form sheet. I t i s
recommended for
conti nuous use at
temperatures up to
1260C (2300F ).
Ceramic fibre paper, has low
shrinkage, good handling strength,
and low thermal conductivity. It contains
a small amount of organic binder for processing which
makes it flexible, yet reduces off-gassing and odour
during use. Our product has a highly uniform structure
due to its controlled basis weight and thickness,
assuring homogeneous thermal conductivity and a
clean, smooth surface ideal for gasketing or sealing.
Ceramic fibre paper is completely free of asbestos and
i s desi gned to be an economi c repl acement for
asbestos paper in most applications.
Ceramic fibre paper is easy to handle and is readily cut
with a knife, shears, or standard steel rule dies. Its
flexibility allows it to be wrapped or rolled to fit most
complex configurations.
Data are average results of test conducted under standard procedures and are subject to variations.
Results should not be used for specification purpose.

Ceramic fibre board is a lightweight refractory material
processed with alumina-silica fibres for applications at
temperatures up to 1600C (2900F).
Ceramic fibre board is a vacuum formed product that
resists higher gas velocities than ceramic fibre blanket.
It is ideal for furnace, boiler duct and stack lining due
to its low thermal conductivity and low heat storage
allowing shorter cycle times and quicker access for
maintenance.

Ceramic fibre bulk is produced by the fusion of high
purity alumina-silica raw materials in an advanced
el ectri c arc fur nace. The fi bres produced are
exceptionally clean and consistent in quality and
texture.
Ceramic fibre bulk fibres are loose, long and flexible
with high refractory properties, and are produced by
the "blown" and the "spun" processes. They are used
as the base for the production of blanket, moldable,
and vacuum formed board and shapes.

resistance
Surface coating
At high temperature the
cement forms a hard egg-
shell ceramic film on most
clean and grease free
surfaces. This film is
completely stable. The
majority of ceramic fibre
products may be coated
with ceramic fibre
adhesive as a protection
against high gas velocities
or against molten metal
contact.
Bonding
Ceramic fibre adhesive is
recommended as a high
temperature adhesive to
bond ceramic fibre
products together, or to
attach them to porous
refractory surfaces such as
insulating fire brick or
insulating concretes.
Ceramic fibre adhesive can be applied by brushing, dipping or
spraying. Surfaces should be free of grease,dirt and dust. The coating
thickness on solid surfaces should be as thin as possible, followed by
drying at temperatures up to a maximum of 90C. The viscosity of the
cement can be reduced, if required, by the addition of small quantities
of clean tap water.

Ceramic fibre adhesive is a high temperature, air setting cement for use
mainly as a refractory surface coating, although generally used on ceramic
fibre substrates it can also be used on porous materials such as insulating
fire brick and insulating concretes and will equally enhance their abrasive
resistance. The cement sets to form a strong hard film, which develops a
ceramic bond at high temperatures yet maintains excellent resistance to
thermal shock. The maximum recommended surface temperature is
1400C. It can also be used as an adhesive for ceramic fibre products.

Rigidizer is applied to the surface of ceramic fibre
blanket, or other high temperature ceramic fibre
insulations by spraying or brushing. After air-drying,
ceramic fibre rigidizer firms-up the refractory ceramic

Ceramic fibre moist felt is made from high-strength
ceramic fibre blanket impregnated with an inorganic
rigidizing agent that hardens when exposed to air.
Moist felt is ideal for insulation of complex shapes as
it retains the shape to which it has been moulded
after it dries.
The product is packed in a clear polythene bag to
maintain the wet binder during shipment and prior to
use. Care should be taken when handling the packed
product as damage to, or freezing of the packaging
can activate the drying process or make the material
unusable.
Curing of the product can be accomplished by air
drying over a period of several days or by immediate
exposure to temperature in the application. Curing of
the product simply removes the water content from
the inorganic binder.

TYPES AVAILABLE
Yarn
Yarn is manufactured from ceramic fibre. This yarn is
the base of all the ceramic textile range of products.
The yarn is reinforced with either a glass filament or a
fine inconel wire.
Cloth
Cloth is woven from a glass or inconel wire reinforced yarn.
Cabled rope (high density)
High density cabled rope is manufactured from yarn
whi ch i s ei ther gl ass fi l ament or i nconel wi re
reinforced. It is composed of 3 pre-twisted strands
each containing a predetermined multiple of yarns
which are twisted together to form a flexible, high
density rope.
Twisted rope
Twisted rope consists of a multiple of ceramic yarn
strands which can be either glass filament or inconel
wire reinforced. They are twisted together to give the
required final product diameter. This gives a soft rope
product that is relatively easily compressed and is
particularly suitable as a seal between uneven surfaces.
Webbing
Webbing is woven from either glass or inconel wire
reinforced ceramic yarn.
Ladder tape
Ladder tape is woven from either glass or inconel wire
reinforced ceramic yarn. It has a similar weave to cloth
on the outer edges, but an open weave in the centre
allowing for ease of installation over studs. It is ideal as a
gasketing material.
Cabled rope (low density)
Low density cabled rope is manufactured from ceramic
rovi ng whi ch i s gl ass fi l ament rei nforced. I t i s
composed of 3 pre-twisted strands each containing a
predetermined multiple of ceramics yarns which are
twisted together to form a flexible, low density rope.
Rope lagging
Rope lagging consists of a strip of ceramic blanket that
is overbraided with a glass yarn. This produces a highly
insulating rope product of medium density, which is
also compressible and flexible. As an alternative, this
product could also be overbraided with either a cotton
yarn or a fine inconel wire.

DALFRATEX
is a range of inorganic fibres and textiles

that are capable of operating continuously at 1000C
and up to 1600C for limited periods. They will not melt
or vaporize until temperature exceeds 1700C, and
have a high resistance to thermal shock. DALFRATEX
products also provide flexible electrical insulation at

temperatures as high as 1000C. Products are available
as textile cloths, tapes, sleevings, cords, braided
packings, ropes and also as bulk fibres and batts.
DALFRATEX
products are composed of continuous

filaments of amorphous silica, which combine the
flexibility of fibres and textiles, with the refractory
properties of silica.
In order to service the needs of a wide range of
applications the majority of DALFRATEX
products are
available in two basic forms: standard and pre-shrunk.
The standard form shrinks during initial heating and
products of this type have letter U incorporated into
the code number. As their name implies, the pre-
shrunk forms have been factory treated to confer
better dimensional stability in high temperature use.
In addition to these forms a wide range of sacrificial
organic finishes are available which may be applied to
particular products where required for specific end uses.

filter cloth
Sales Line +44 (0) 1704 226 878
During molten aluminium production processes it is
often a necessi ty to fi l ter the metal to remove
impurities, inclusions and dross prior to casting. The
filter cloth products produced by ims assist in removing
these unwanted particles.
The filter cloth range of products consists of woven
glass fabrics coated with either phenolic resin or fine
ceramic slurry to ensure that the product maintains its
integrity during use. There are many weave styles to
choose from and our technical staff are on hand to
discuss your requirements.
It is important to consider the production process when
selecting your fabric style. Long and/or aggressive
production processes normally require 4 or 6 strand
woven cloth styles whilst 3 strand woven cloth styles
perform satisfactorily in standard alloy production.
Combo Bags
aluminium slab and t bar casting processes often
demand metal flow and heat dissipation control.
Combo bags are the ideal consumable for this part of
the production process.
For casting of aggressive alloys or long duration casting
(long drop cycles), combo bags can be manufactured
with a heavy duty construction to ensure the integrity
of the combo bag is maintained until the end of the cast.
Filter Sock
During the aluminium billet casting process
it is advisable to filter the molten metal whilst
it transitions through the launder system. A
filter sock (sometimes called launder sock) is
ideal for this application.
During the casting process the filter sock is held in the
launder system via loops sewn into the filter sock,
which are hung over metal fixings attached to the
launder metalwork or alternatively by being inserted
between two launder sections. Should the filter sock
be inserted between launder sections it is necessary to
have a compressible high temperature gasket sewn
into a flange at the open end of the filter sock to
ensure no metal leakage between the launder joints.
IMS offer filter cloths with a wide range of open
areas to accommodate all process requirements.

Foundry Filtration
During the casting process it is advisable to filter the molten metal. Filter
cloth discs are ideal for this process. Due to the high risk of inclusions
causing rejects in the finished cast item it is advisable to use a filter cloth
disc with an extremely low L.O.I. IMS have developed a filter cloth with less
than 2.0% L.O.I. for this particular process.
Consideration should be given to metal flow rate and cleanliness requirements
prior to selecting filter cloth size.

Insulating Castables and Gunmixes
IMS supply a comprehensive range of Insulating
Castables and Gunmixes which are generally used as
back-up insulation behind a hot face material such as a
Dense or Low Cement Castabl e. Temperature
gradients, thermal efficiency, atmospheric conditions
and strength general l y determi ne the choi ce of
material along with the maximum service temperature
requirement. Certain applications where temperature
and abrasion resistance are not an issue allow the use
of insulation castable as a one shot hot face lining
therefore exhibiting excellent thermal characteristics.
Materials can be installed by casting or gunning
techniques the method chosen is generally dependant
upon application, access and cost.
Dense Castables and Gunmixes
IMS supply a comprehensive range of Dense Castables
and Gunmixes which exhibit excellent strength and
abrasion resistance. These materials can be used as a
one shot lining or more commonly as a hot face
material with an insulation grade as a back up lining.
Again application conditions form a major part in the
correct choice of material, whatever the application
IMS can supply a suitable material. The hot face lining
is the working lining of the vessel therefore it is
essential that the chosen material exhibits the required
characteristics to obtain optimum life. Resistances to
thermal shock, abrasion, chemical attack, reducing
atmospheres are a few of the key factors determining
choice of material along with the maximum service
temperature requirement. Materials can be installed by
casting and gunning techniques. The method chosen is
generally dependant upon access and cost.
Plastics and Ramming mixes
IMS supply a comprehensive range of Plastics and
Ramming mixes which are both clay and chemically
bonded materials, installed by ramming techniques.
Clay bonded materials exhibit a good green strength
when allowed to air dry. Chemically bonded materials
form thei r strength duri ng the curi ng or heat
treatment process. The choice of material is dependant
upon temperature, atmospheric conditions, chemical
attack and application; Phosphate or chemically
bonded materi al s show excel l ent resi stance to
chemical or slag attack. The coarse grained nature of
both these generic materials allows for good abrasion
and thermal shock resistance. They are ideally suited
for use in restricted areas such as boilers, ladle linings
& burner quarls.
Low Cement Monolithics
IMS supply a comprehensive range of Low Cement
Monolithics which exhibit extremely high hot strength
and abrasion resistance characteristics. These materials
are more technically advanced than the family of
dense castables and show low porosity and good
resistance to slags where molten metals attack the
refractory. In addition to their excellent performance
characteristics we have materials available for every
conceivable application; these materials are termed
free-flow materials which can be installed by
pumping or casting. The term free flow means they do
not need vibrating into position therefore aiding
installation. We also offer a range of multi-purpose
Low Cement Castabl es whi ch can be pumped,
vibrocast or act as a free flow material. The strict water
addition determines the mode of installation.
Silicon Carbide mixes
IMS supply Silicon Carbide materials which by their
nature possess excellent volume stability right through
their temperature range along with high abrasion
resistance and thermal shock characteristics. These
materials are designed as free flow materials to
eliminate the need for vibrating the product into place;
thus eliminating grain segregation and maintaining a
high strength profile. These materials are designed for
specialist applications and can be installed by casting
or pumping into place.
Mortars
IMS supply a range of exclusive mortars exhibiting
both high refractoriness and bond strength. We supply
both dry and ready mixed materials depending upon
preference. The materials produced cater for a wide
temperature range and for more arduous applications
where the materials are prone to attack and reducing
atmospheres, we have a hybrid range of products
which show excellent resistance to attack therefore
retaining their original integrity for extended periods.
IMS mortars are renowned for their use in the most
exacting of environments.

Material selection
It is important to ensure the correct selection of raw
material prior to casting. When selecting raw material
consideration should be given to the demands of the
application. The choice of material can ultimately depend
upon cost and rel ati ve performance, however the
complexity and required surface finish together with the
physi cal vol ume of the cast shape can al so be
determining factor. Our technical staff are on hand to
offer advice should this be required.
Casting
Once material selection has been completed and the
moulds have been produced casting of the shape is
undertaken. IMS cast shapes using several casting
techniques including vibration, vibroflow, free-flow, and
slip. Consideration is given to the material shrinkage
duri ng the fi ri ng/dryi ng process and the moul d i s
manufactured oversize to accommodate this effect.
The firing/drying process removes any excess water from
the shape before despatch.
Inspection and despatch
As soon as the shape has been passed by our inspection
department it is shrink-wrapped to reduce moisture
ingress during transit and then made ready for customer
collection or delivery.
IMS provide extensive pre-casting facilities.
Mould manufacturing
The mould type used in the casting process often
determines the finished quality of the fired shape. IMS
provide an in-house mould-making service, where
moulds can be manufactured from polystyrene, wood,
plastic, plaster and steel substrates. Customers can
supply their own pre-manufactured moulds into which
IMS cast the refractory. In these instances it may be
necessary for us to refurbish or in certain cases replace
the existing mould.
Drying/Firing
Drying/Firing of the cast shape is carried out in our state
of the art kilning department. Following firing the cast
shape undergoes final inspection. Rigorous testing
methods following stringent internal controls ensure that
the finished shape meets the customer requirements.
All casting processes undertaken by IMS follow process
controls as set out in the company ISO 9001 (2000) policy
document available on request.

sifca
SI FCA
i s an acronym whi ch stands for Sl urry

Infiltrated Fibre Castable. SIFCA
is a patented pre-cast
refractory composi te composed of l ow cement
refractory sl urry and stai nl ess steel fi bre. I t i s a
combination of up to 16 volume percent stainless steel
fibres and any one of four (4) slurry types. Under
appropriate conditions, SIFCA
shapes can have a

service temperature range up to 3000F (1649C).
The unique characteristics of this product are; thermal
shock resistance, impact resistance, compressive
strength and refractoriness when compared to steel or
cast iron shapes. At elevated operating temperatures,
SIFCA
replaces cast iron and steel parts that are

oxidising.
SIFCA
is also a direct replacement for conventional

pre-cast refractory shapes in structural or support
applications. SIFCA
shapes, unlike standard pre-cast

shapes, can be bolted to the same structure as the
steel or cast iron it is replacing.

insulating fire brick
IMS supply several grades of Insulating Fire Brick (IFB)
for use in applications from 1,000C to 1,760C. Each
grade of brick is formulated to meet specific thermal
and physical requirements. After firing each brick is
machined to close dimensional tolerances.
I nsul ati ng Fi re Bri cks are manufactured uti l i si ng
exceptionally high purity clays and other ceramic
materials. The carefully graded organics which are used
during the manufacturing process burn out during
firing to give a uniform pore structure.

moler bricks
insulating brick for aluminium
reduction cells
Moler insulating bricks are primarily used as back-up
insulation in industrial furnaces behind refractory
linings.
Moler insulating bricks exhibit excellent insulating
properties, are lightweight and have high mechanical
strength which increases as temperatures rise. Minimal
expansion and contraction factors result in a high
resistance to thermal shock. They are ideal for use as
insulating parts in aluminium reduction cells, carbon
cal ci ni ng fur naces and other si mi l ar i ndustri al
applications.

Pictured below is a completed PERMATECH BIG BLOCK installation, including hearth block, sidewall block, roof
modules, and door.
PERMATECH is the pioneer of the 'Big Block' furnace
concept, and is still recognised today as the world
leader in the manufacture of large pre-cast, pre-fired
furnace block.
The PERMATECH ENGINEERING SERVICES TEAM is the
world leader in engineering the utilisation of BIG
BLOCK refractory shapes for aluminium melting and
holding furnaces.
Over 25 years ago, the concept of usi ng l arger
bricks to reline a furnace was investigated. The
intent was to minimise joint issues and maximise life,
with the added benefit of installation speed. Several
key problems were immediately discovered, requiring
years of research and investment that would enable
core furnace expertise to be developed. Permatech was
the pioneer of the BIG BLOCK concept, and has now
taken the art to the next level, by continuing to reduce
the time required from metal-to-metal, and in turn,
continuing to lead the field in furnace refractory
construction technology.

With an impact strength up to 200 times greater than
gl ass, pol ycarbonate sheet remai ns vi rtual l y
unbreakable, offering protection for those working or
playing beneath it.
Polycarbonate sheet can easily be cold curved on site,
enabling the designer to create interesting glazing
solutions for a bright, naturally lit interior environment,
it provides light transmissions of up to 90%.
Resi stance to breakage through vandal i sm can
dramatically reduce a buildings maintenance costs
and, in addition, polycarbonate sheet can help reduce
energy costs through its superior thermal properties
over glass.
Polycarbonate sheet has excellent resistance to the
weather and atmospheric conditions. The weight of
polycarbonate sheets is only half that of plate glass,
making handling and installation ultimately more
convenient. The sheets can be installed or fabricated with
the minimum of specialist tools or labour.
At just about half the weight of glass, polycarbonate
offers savi ngs i n handl i ng, transportati on and
installation.

Engineering thermoplastics have developed into a
major and still growing family of raw materials, which
demonstrate i n-pl ace benefi ts and have proved
themselves cost-effective in operation. The benefits
compared with metal include high strength-to-weight
ratios, good corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal
properties and low co-efficients of friction.
PTFE is a tough, flexible engineering thermoplastic
with outstanding electrical and chemical resistance.
PTFE is stable from 250C to 250C. Incredible
strength and almost chemically inert PTFE also has the
lowest co-efficient of static and dynamic friction of any
known solid.

GP03 polyester resin bonded glass mat laminate is a
product which falls in price and performance between
the phenolic paper grades and the high performance
woven glass type. GP03 is a good electrical insulator
with higher temperature capability than the phenolic
paper materials. It is reasonably strong and rigid with
assessed flammability characteristics. GP03 is not as
easy to machine as phenolic paper grades and would
not usually be chosen for wearing applications.

f1, f2 & f3 are multi purpose insulation materials
manufactured from fine, medium and course weave
phenolic cotton materials. They are strong and tough
with very good wear resistance and as such are good
for general mechanical applications. f1, f2 & f3 show
good electrical properties. These tend to be superior in
the finer weaves. In general the medium and course
weave grades are used for larger and more rugged
components. The finer weave grades are chosen for
their superior machined finish, higher dimensional
stability and improved strength in thin section.
p1, p2 & p3 are multi purpose insulation materials
manufactured from phenolic paper materials. These
materials are strong, rigid and very economical. Choice
of grades depends upon voltage or other insulation
requirements. p1, p2 & p3 are not normally used in
applications demanding high impact strength and all
round toughness. They are however used i n
applications where rigid non metallic insulation
materials are required. The grades all exhibit low
moisture absorption.

al umi na product suppl i ed i n thi n sheet form.
Composed of high purity alumina, reinforced with high
alumina ceramic fibres.
zircar type dd
Type DD is a rigid sheet which can be moistened with
water to become moldable. This product is ideally
suited to insulate and protect shapes of a non standard
nature, where machined insulation parts would be
impractical.
After drying, the material regains it strength and other
performance characteristics.
zircar type dm
Type DM is another form of moldable with a resulting
density higher than that of DD. Type DM is ideally
sui ted for formi ng excepti onal l y i ntri cate and

For coati ng recommendati ons for a speci fi c

application, the following information should be
provided:
Base material to which the coating will be applied
Environmental conditions to which the coating will
be subjected (temperature, atmosphere, contact
with other materials, etc.)
General application and drying instructions for each
composition are available on a separate sheet with
every shi pment. For many appl i cati ons, speci fi c
procedures must be determined. All surfaces to which
coatings are to be applied should be clean, dry and
free from grease or oil. Metal or other smooth surfaces
may requi re surface rougheni ng to ensure best
adherence. Roughened or porous surfaces normally do
not require further preparation.
boron nitride coatings - combat
Combat Boron Nitride Coatings can be used up to
1372C (2500F) in a reducing/inert atmosphere and
850C (1562F) in an oxidising atmosphere, and will
retain many of the properties of Boron Nitride such as:
Non-wetting by most molten metals, salts, fluxes
and slags
Resistant to molten metal corrosion and light
metal drosses
Excellent parting plane / very lubricous
Helps in removal of solidified metals
features
Grade Specific Properties
Various compositions are formulated using a variety of
inorganic binders. As a result, variations in physical
properti es such as hardness, adherence, useful
temperature range, and ease of application are obtained.
Type A - The highest percentage concentration of boron
nitride available at 39%. Extremely thick concentrate that
should be diluted with water to obtain the required
consistency.
Type Sf - A general purpose coating comprised of 23%
BN is a thick concentrate that is best diluted with water
to the desired consistency and sprayed or brushed onto
the refractory or metal mold.
Type 10Sf - Same coating properties as Sf coating.
Lower viscosity than Sf coating, a ready to use formula.
Type 5Sf - Same coating properties as 10Sf but even
lower viscosity.
Type V - A high BN composition that dries to a harder
surface used in special applications where a stronger
binder is needed in applications such as coating moving
parts in molten metal. Excellent for coating graphite.
Combat boron nitride coatings are entirely inorganic,
composed of boron ni tri de powder and a hi gh
temperature bond phase. Supplied in a liquid form
suitable for brushing, combat boron nitride coatings
can be diluted with water to spraying and dipping
consistencies and applied to a variety of porous and
non-porous materials including graphite, metals,
ceramics and organics.

protection tubes
Modern foundry practice requires insulating the riser
cavity to reduce the volume of metal necessary in the
riser head while assuring casting soundness. The
savings in hot metal and cleaning time are significant.
IMS RCF free materials make ideal insulating riser stalk
tubes and protection tubes, and the standardisation of
sizes makes for easy availability. A low k factor assures
that the metal will stay molten for a longer period of
time resulting in a sound casting. In addition to the
i nsul ati ng properti es of our tubes, they have
mechanical strength to permit their being rammed up
in the mold with out damage.

p69: permatech filter bowls
dimensions
as above.
Ceramic foam filters are used to filter a wide range of
alloys used in end products such as compact discs,
lithographic sheet, extrusions and bright finish trim, as
well as commercial grade products such as foundry
alloy ingots. This type of filtration is very popular due
to the low cost, ease of operation and effective
inclusion removal.
Ceramic foam filters come in several standard sizes and
pore sizes, usually measured in inches. The table below
shows a standard pore size of 30ppi (pores per inch).
As well as the standard size you can specify special
shapes.
Pore size ranges from 20ppi to 60ppi and are available
wi th cerami c or expandi ng gasket. The use of
adequate filter boxes and filter preheat systems is
essential to obtain optimum filter performance. Details
can be found in this catalogue.
