ZIRCAR Refractory Composites, Inc. Refractory Board Type ZIRCAL-45 SS42

Type ZIRCAL-45 Refractory Board is a self supporting, high strength, rigid refractory product fabricated from calcium silicate, inert fillers and reinforcing agents. Its high structural strength combined with high thermal insulating value make it ideal for many fireproofing and heat processing equipment applications up to 650°C(1202oF). ZIRCAL-45 is highly damage resistant, non-corroding, and extremely water-resistant. ZIRCAL-45 in full size 4' x 8' panels offers major economic advantages in the construction of ovens, dryers, and other insulated housings for the retention and control of heat. ZIRCAL-45 can be readily fabricated into various sizes and shapes for heat baffles and all types of insulating parts. It is used in fire safety applications such as fire stops, fire walls, cable trays and fire doors, and provides an ideal, incombustible base for melamine veneers. ZIRCAL-45 panels have flame spread and smoke developed ratings of 0 & 0, and are not damaged by inflammable charges that are subject to occasional flaming. ZIRCAL-45 is not affected by moisture or high humidity, and will not rust or corrode. The panels will not disintegrate even after prolonged immersion in water. While panels can be painted if desired, preservative treatments are not required for interior applications. ZIRCAL-45 is hygroscopic and electrical resistance is reduced when it absorbs moisture. For electrical applications, ZIRCAL-45 components should be thoroughly dried or moisture proofed before use.
