NUTEC MaxBlock Modules

MaxBlock Modules

High Temperature Insulating Blocks

The MaxBlock Module system is a versatile family of high temperature insulating blocks which are manufactured by combining the latest technologies in fiber manufacturing, processing, and attachment hardware designed to yield a variety of options to fit almost any high temperature requirement.

MaxBlock Module system is available with several module attachment methods and blanket configuration options. All MaxBlock Modules are manufactured utilizing spun blanket feedstock which results in superior strength during installation and while in service.

MaxBlock Modules are easily and quickly secured to the interior surfaces of all types of high temperature furnaces and kilns.

MaxBlock Temperature Grades

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

  • MaxBlock 2200 Modules are a Low Bio Persistent (LBP) 2200°F (1200°C) rated product
  • MaxBlock 2300 Modules is Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) based and rated to 2300°F (1260°C)
  • MaxBlock 2600 Modules is Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) based with an enhanced chemistry for applications up to 2600°F (1425°C)
  • MaxBlock 3000 Modules utilize Polycrystalline Wool (PCW) for use in applications up to 3000°F (1650°C).
  • MaxBlock 3000 Hybrid Modules use Polycrystalline Wool (PCW) in combination with 2600 Refractory Ceramic Fiber for use in applications up to 2800°F (1540°C)
