Ceramic Fiber Thread LYTX-208М2/1260 is a high-temperature insulating material in the form of a thread, made from pure high-density ceramic fiber. It is designed for thermal insulation, sealing, and stitching of high-temperature equipment such as furnaces, boilers, drying chambers, and heat exchangers.
The material is characterized by high flexibility and elasticity, which allows it to be easily formed into seams, gaskets, seals, and stitching elements while maintaining dimensional stability at operating temperatures of up to 1260 °C. The thread provides effective thermal insulation, reduces energy losses, and helps extend the service life of equipment.
Main Characteristics
- Operating temperature: up to 1260 °C, allowing the thread to be used in most industrial furnaces and boilers operating in a medium-temperature range
- Thermal conductivity: low, ensuring a high level of thermal insulation and reduced energy losses
- Linear shrinkage: minimal; the thread retains its shape during prolonged heating and repeated thermal cycles
- Chemical composition: high-quality ceramic fiber that provides resistance to most acids and alkalis, as well as aggressive industrial environments
- Flexibility and elasticity: the thread is easy to stitch, shape, and use for sealing joints without damage
- Material purity: white color and low impurity content ensure stability and durability
Advantages
- High heat resistance: withstands continuous temperatures of up to 1260 °C without loss of properties
- Effective thermal insulation: low thermal conductivity reduces energy losses and improves the energy efficiency of equipment
- Chemical resistance: resistant to the effects of most acids, alkalis, and aggressive gases
- Easy installation: flexible, easy to stitch, and suitable for forming heat-resistant seams, seals, and gaskets
- Durability: retains its shape, color, and thermal insulation properties during long-term use
Applications
- Sealing and stitching: doors, hatches, dampers, and other elements of furnaces and boilers
- Heat-resistant seams: stitching thread for thermal insulation mats, blocks, and modules
- Gaskets and seals: used in industrial units to improve efficiency and operational safety
- Industrial sectors: metallurgy, power generation, chemical industry, pharmaceuticals — wherever a high-temperature-resistant thread is required for thermal insulation and sealing
Operating Conditions
- Temperature range: operating temperature up to 1260 °C; short-term exposure to the maximum limit is allowed without loss of properties
- Humidity and environment: retains its properties after exposure to moisture; contact with strong reducing agents and fluorine-containing compounds is not recommended
- Installation: do not excessively compress the thread during stitching or seal formation in order to preserve its thermal insulation properties
- Storage: store in a dry, ventilated area at a temperature of –40...+50 °C, protected from direct sunlight and mechanical damage
