In modern industry, energy efficiency has become a critical aspect. Increasing the useful life of equipment and avoiding operational downtime benefits the environment and optimizes operating costs. A fundamental way to achieve this is to minimize heat losses in industrial equipment and processes.
Refractory ceramic fiber coatings and mixes (wet products) are crucial. In this article, learn what they are and how they can benefit your industrial processes.
What are coatings and mixes?
These products offer moldable insulation solutions in various forms, including pastes. Typically, they are prepared using an industrial mixer, combining water, ceramic fiber, and other additives to achieve the desired physical properties.
Some of these products incorporate a vegetable dye that aids their application and inspection. Green is standard, but other colors can be requested to suit specific needs.
