High temperature insulation features a xonotlite crystal structure that results in exceptional strength and extremely low water of hydration. Super Firetemp.High temperature insulation is composed primarily of lime, silica and reinforcing fibers. The product is white, essentially dust-free, and contains no asbestos. Applications to high temperature insulation possesses good strength as well as exceptional insulation qualities, it can be readily machined into component parts of many sizes and shapes. Uses include fire-rated enclosures around kitchen exhaust hoods, fire proofing structural steel and fire-rated walls. It is used for bottom or sidewall insulation in aluminum electrolysis cells and for refractory backer in furnaces, boilers and kilns

Where to install high temperature insulation

Where to insulate High Temperature Insulation depends on where you're living or conditioned space ends and where your unconditioned space begins. Treat unconditioned space as if it were outdoors, minus the rain and snow otherwise .Insulate the living space as if you were insulating it from the outdoors. For instance, if your crawlspace is unheated, and you want it to stay in that very way, and then make sure it has adequate ventilation, and insulates the floor above.

Structure of high temperature insulation.

High temperature insulation represent typical, average values obtained in accordance to accepted test methods and are subject to normal manufacturing variations. They are supplied as a technical service and are subject to the change without notice. Any references to numerical flame spread the smoke developed ratings are not intended to reflect hazards presented by these or any other materials under actual fire conditions.

Working of high temperature insulation

High temperature insulation usually works best on the outside of the structure, by allowing the walls, floor and ceiling to stay at room temperature, which prevents condensation in the living area of the house. Generally, spray foam and rigid panel insulation provide the most bangs for the buck and work very effectively. A well-insulated house requires a vapor barrier because of the risk of condensation on cold parts of the structure with resulting damage. The vapor barrier is usually a sealed plastic film inside the wall which should go on the warm side of the insulation:
