Thermal InsulationProtection THOR-SIL cloth is a flexible refractory textile materialwith excellent insulation characteristics for hightemperatureapplications.Refractory silica in textile form insulationTHOR-SIL textiles are continuous filament, amorphoussilica products, with the thermal performance of arefractory material. The fiber does not melt or vaporizeuntil temperatures exceed 3100 o F (1704 o C).THOR-SIL textile cloth will operate continuously attemperatures to 1800 o F (982 o C) with little or no changein properties. When temperatures are elevated beyond1800 o F (982 o C), some embrittlement occurs. However,THOR-SIL cloth continues to provide thermal protectionto temperatures of 3100 o F (1704 o C).APPLICATIONS■■■■Furnace curtains and welding protection clothPersonnel shieldsPre-heat and weld stress retreiving thermal blanketsMany other applications where heat is a destroyerTHOR-SIL insulation withstands moltensteel at 2800 o FTHOR-SIL wide woven tapes are proven for hose orpipe wrap and stress relieving applications. They areused to insulate hydraulic lines, coolant hoses andmotor leads and can be used in any application wherethermal insulation, energy savings, safety and electricalnonconductivity are important. THOR-SIL also protectsmachinery from extreme radiant heat and moltenmetal splash, and it protects parts from contamination,marking and damage during high-temperature processingas well.59
