Silica Matrix Architecture
Our proprietary high-density silica fibre matrix forms an interlocking 3D structure that traps heat, prevents thermal migration and retains structural integrity above 1,000°C.
Fibre diameter: 3–8 μm | Porosity: 92%02
Reactive Surface Chemistry
On flame exposure the vermiculite coating expands in a controlled way, forming an insulating char layer four times more effective than untreated silica.
Expansion ratio: 8:1 | Onset temperature: 280°C03
Thermal Gradient Engineering
The multi-layer laminate creates distinct thermal gradient zones, keeping the cold-side surface below 45°C even when the hot side reaches 900°C.
