Metalloid   One of the important tasks of modern technique is the creation of a new class of ecologically safe heat-shielding and heat-insulating materials. It is caused by the circumstance that the heat-insulating materials based on asbestos; being known and widely used in an industry, already are forbidden in USA and Europe as a result of carcinogenic properties of these materials. Recently the materials based on ceramic fibers also were recognized as carcinogenic, about that have informed the OSNA - administration of USA on the professional public health, the California university and the laboratory in Los-Alamos. In the advanced countries the volume of application of ceramic fibers is sharply reduced and the works on their prohibition are conducted. The mentioned circumstances became the reason of intensive development during the last years of production and consumption of a new ecologically safe multifunctional (warmly-, electro-, sound- protective) materials based on the silica fibers containing 98 -99 % SiO2. For the last 3 years the production of a silica fibrous materials, which were applied earlier in military and space technique, has been increased in 5 - 7 times. The special interest represent nonwoven needled materials from the silica fibers possessing the high insulation characteristics and the long-term stability at temperature up to 1200 oC, the short-term - up to 1700 oC. Nowadays such materials are being manufactured under the trade mark Supersil.

Heat insulation with nonwoven material Back to top SUPERSIL is produced and delivered in various forms:
SUPERSIL - roll material in the form of mat made from silica fibers got together without use of any binders which can burn-out     SUPERSIL-S - mat stitched with silica yarn;       SUPERSIL-M - combined multilayer material (in the form of stitched blankets)       SUPERSIL-M has higher strength characteristics what makes it possible to use it under various conditions, including contact with gas flow;       SUPERSIL-M1 - one side silica fabric coated mat;       SUPERSIL-M2 - two side silica fabric coated mat;       SUPERSIL-F1 - one side silica fabric mat coated with an aluminum foil.       SUPERSIL-F2 - Two side silica fabric mats coated with an aluminum foil.

SUPERSIL is successfully used in airspace application.
Application in construction SUPERSIL fire resistant sound insulation is used successfully in construction. SUPERSIL increases the resistance of building`s internal premises to ignition improves the heat and noise insulation.   SUPERSIL provides: High level of impact sound insulation of ceiling floors. Thin layer of SUPERSIL reduces impact sound between load bearing slab and covering 27 dB considerable reduction (by 85%) of impact noise in the buildings made of small-size elements (SUPERSIL layers are placed between the basic carrying elements of the building) efficient sound absorption in spaces where high fire safety is required: in carriages - including underground in crowded buildings, in controller`s offices etc Sound absorption in multilayer sound insulating structures, in structures of metal perforated cellings, perforated wall panels.

Durability, fire resistance and sound insulation properties of SUPERSIL are superior to polyurethane foam, velotherm, cork, pergola and it can substitute: velotherm used in joints of buildings polypropylene foam, cork, pergola for floor structures Glass and mineral wool as fire resistant sound absorber     SUPERSIL is produced and delivered in various forms: SUPERSIL - roll material in the form of mat made from silica fibers got together without use of any binders which can burn-out; SUPERSIL - S - mat stitched with silica yarn; SUPERSIL - M - combined multilayer material (in the form of stitched blankets) has higher strength characteristics what makes it possible to use it under various conditions, including contact with gas flow; SUPERSIL - M1 - one side silica fabric coated mat; SUPERSIL - M2 - two side silica fabric coated mat. SUPERSIL - F1 - one side silica fabric mat coated with an aluminum foil. SUPERSIL - F2 - two side silica fabric mat coated with an aluminum foil.
Fire-prevention cloth Back to top
Fires in apartments, offices, garages, on summer residences, in shops and industrial rooms - one of the main reasons of man`s victims and material losses. At using the special fire-prevention cloths as a primary mean for fire`s extinguishing, many of these fires can be prevented.
the fire-prevention cloths are made from fabrics based on the special heat-resistant silica fibers being used in space engineering is fireproof and not meltable for 2-3 minutes can extinguish the fire in an apartment, garage, shop and on a summer residence possesses unlimited service life is asbestos free   Is not electro conductive
Description Density of a fabric, g/m2 Size PP300 300 1.5 x 1.5 1.5 x 2.0 PP400 400 PP600 600 Fire-prevention cloth by the size 1.5 x 1.5 is recommended for extinguishing the fire which has arisen on gaseous or electric stoves, at the ironing of clothes, from faulty electro-devices.   Fire-prevention cloth by the size 1.5 x 2.0 is recommended for extinguishing fire in apartments, garages, shops, offices, workshops and laboratories, on summer residences.   TEMPERATURE OF APPLICATION - 1700 oC. Packing - the vinylic or the fabric package The instruction on application of a fire-prevention cloth To take out a cloth from a package (cover), pull it for corners (straps). Hold the cloth opposite yourself.   Come nearer to the center of fire and cover it by the cloth   To exclude a possibility of repeated fire, switch off torches of a plate or pull out a plug of the electro-device from a socket.   Do not remove a cloth from the center of a fire within several minutes.   Back to top
