Silica needle mat


The flexibility of TEXSil® Silica Needled Insulation enables the product to be easily cut and fabricated into intricate design configurations. Excellent thermal strength enhances TEXSil® high product value-in-use.


Product Description
TEXSil® Silica Needled Insulation, made from amorphous silica, is ideal for a wide range of critical, high temperature applications. TEXSil® Silica Needled Insulation comes in in three thicknesses and can be Shrunk (nominal 5%) or Un-Shrunk (nominal 13%). It contains no shot (small spheres) which is important in certain insulation applications. 

TEXSil® is designed to withstand temperatures up to 1,800¡ãF (1,000¡ãC). It is comprised of non-respirable, 9-micron filament fibers that are mechanically bonded and contain no added resins or adhesives. Density is 8 to 10 lb/ft3. TEXSil® Silica Needled Insulation is environmentally-friendly since it contains no harmful refractory ceramic fibers (RCF).
