MaxBlock MacroModules

Monolithic Ceramic Fiber Panels

MaxBlock MacroModules are customized prefabricated monolithic ceramic fiber panels. MaxBlock MacroModules are available in a variety of sizes and configurations that provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for virtually any thermal management challenge.

MaxBlock MacroModules use an anchoring method so that each fold of blanket is completely secured to the support steel structure. This represents the highest anchor density possible and makes the product form very well suited for high vibration applications.

For high flux exposure or high velocity applications, MaxBlock MacroModules can be supplied with a hot face coating of MaxPlate. MaxPlate is a unique very high temperature coating product which provides superior performance in these environments. Lining life can be significantly increased with the incorporation of this coating material.

MaxBlock MacroModules Temperature Grades

The MaxBlock MacroModule system is offered in four different temperature grades:

  • MaxBlock 2200 MacroModules are a Low Bio Persistent (LBP) 2200°F (1200°C) rated product
  • MaxBlock 2300 MacroModules are Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) based and rated to 2300°F (1260°C)
  • MaxBlock 2600 MacroModules are Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) based with an enhanced chemistry for applications up to 2600°F (1425°C)
  • MaxBlock 3000 MacroModules utilize Polycrystalline Wool (PCW) for use in applications up to 3000°F (1650°C)
