Bio-Soluble Fibre Board 1300°C-VITCAS Insulating Board

VITCAS Bio-Soluble Fibre Board 1300°C – 300 kg/m³ High-Temperature Insulation

VITCAS Bio-Soluble Fibre Board 1300°C is a rigid, high-performance thermal insulation board developed for demanding industrial and high-temperature applications. With a density of 300 kg/m³, it combines excellent thermal insulation performance with good dimensional stability, low heat storage and a robust board structure.

Manufactured from advanced bio-soluble fibres, the board provides a low-biopersistence alternative to conventional refractory ceramic fibre insulation in suitable applications. Its rigid form makes it particularly suitable where precise fitting, structural stability and consistent insulation thickness are required.

Key Features & Benefits

• Temperature rating up to 1300°C – suitable for demanding high-temperature insulation applications.
• High density of 300 kg/m³ – provides rigidity, dimensional stability and improved mechanical integrity.
• Bio-soluble fibre technology – manufactured using low-biopersistence fibres for modern high-temperature insulation systems.
• Low thermal conductivity – helps reduce heat transfer and improve thermal efficiency.
• Low heat storage – reduces the amount of energy absorbed by the insulation itself.
• Good thermal stability – suitable for equipment exposed to repeated heating and cooling cycles.
• Rigid board construction – offers greater dimensional control than flexible fibre blankets.
• Easy to cut and shape – can be fabricated to suit specific lining geometries and installation requirements.
• Lightweight refractory insulation – helps reduce the overall thermal mass of furnace and kiln systems.

High-Performance Thermal Insulation

The combination of low thermal conductivity, low heat storage and a rigid 300 kg/m³ structure makes VITCAS Bio-Soluble Fibre Board particularly effective in applications where both insulation performance and dimensional stability are important.

By reducing heat transfer through the lining, the board can help minimise heat losses and improve the thermal efficiency of furnaces, kilns and other high-temperature process equipment. Its low heat capacity also means that less energy is required to heat the insulation, which can be especially beneficial in equipment operating under intermittent or cyclic conditions.

Rigid Alternative to Flexible Fibre Insulation

Unlike flexible high-temperature fibre blankets, this board maintains a defined shape and thickness. This makes it particularly suitable for installations requiring accurately positioned insulation panels, thermal barriers, baffles or refractory back-up components.

The rigid board format also supports easier fabrication and installation in areas where consistent thickness and controlled geometry are important. The material can be cut and shaped to suit both new installations and refurbishment projects.

Typical Applications

VITCAS Bio-Soluble Fibre Board 1300°C is suitable for a wide range of refractory and thermal insulation applications, including:

• industrial furnace linings;
• kiln insulation and kiln linings;
• heat-treatment furnaces and industrial ovens;
• refractory back-up insulation;
• boiler insulation;
• high-temperature ducts and flues;
• thermal barriers and heat shields;
• burner blocks and baffles;
• process heating equipment;
• high-temperature equipment refurbishment and repair.

Industries & Sectors

The board can be used across a broad range of industrial sectors where efficient thermal insulation and reliable high-temperature performance are required.

• Ceramics Industry – insulation of ceramic kilns, firing chambers and associated high-temperature equipment.
• Glass Industry – thermal insulation in furnaces, hot-process equipment, ducts and related installations.
• Iron & Steel Industry – refractory back-up insulation for furnaces, reheating equipment and heat-treatment systems.
• Foundries & Metal Processing – insulation of furnaces, ovens and thermal processing equipment.
• Heat Treatment – insulation for annealing furnaces, hardening furnaces, industrial ovens and other controlled thermal processes.
• Furnace & Kiln Manufacturing – rigid insulation for new-build, repair and refurbishment projects.
• Boiler & Heating Equipment – thermal insulation for boilers, combustion systems, ducts and flues.
• Petrochemical & Process Industries – insulation in process heaters, thermal barriers and high-temperature equipment.
• Power Generation – insulation of boilers, flue systems, ducting and high-temperature process equipment.
• Industrial Maintenance & Refractory Engineering – replacement and upgrading of refractory and thermal insulation systems.

Bio-Soluble Fibre Technology

Bio-soluble fibres are engineered to provide low biopersistence while maintaining the thermal performance required for demanding high-temperature applications. This makes bio-soluble fibre boards an attractive solution for modern refractory and thermal insulation systems where both performance and material selection are important.

The board is particularly suitable where a rigid insulation product is preferred over flexible fibre blanket materials, while still benefiting from low thermal conductivity and low thermal mass.

Suitable for Industrial, Trade & Specialist Applications

VITCAS Bio-Soluble Fibre Board 1300°C is suitable for professional refractory contractors, furnace and kiln manufacturers, industrial maintenance teams, engineering companies and specialist end users requiring dependable high-temperature insulation.

It can be used in both new installations and refurbishment work, including the replacement of existing insulation, improvement of refractory back-up systems and fabrication of custom thermal insulation components.

Product Selection

The appropriate board thickness, fixing method and lining configuration should be selected according to the operating temperature, process conditions, mechanical loading and overall refractory system design. For demanding industrial installations, the complete insulation system should be designed in accordance with the specific requirements of the application.
