Can the 13mm ceramic fiber blanket be used directly on to a Diesel engine exhaust straight out of the turbo?
Yes, the Vitcas Ceramic Fibre Blanket 1260 C will withstand temperatures far higher than encountered in this situation. We would recommend wrapping it with a glass fibre tape or fiberglass cloth to keep the ceramic fibre blanket in position.
Could this be used as lining for a small forge, used for smelting lead/aluminium/copper? It is likely that it would come into contact with a flame from a burner.
Many thanks.
We recommend using the Ceramic Fibre Blanket around the forge first and then in the centre using the Refractory Castable Grade 1700. The Refractory Castable will prevent the Ceramic Fibre Blanket from coming into contact with the flame.
