Insulmicanite® mica products

Insulmicanite products were developed specifically for use a thermal, electrical and even mechanical insulation in induction furnaces. It is available in various forms, such as in sheets or on a roll, without a backing or with glass fiber backing on one or both sides, with body soluble fibre to improve thermal insulation and absorb expansion, etc.

Insulmicanite® products are placed between the coil and the refractories in induction furnaces :

 

  • They protect the coil from mechanical stresses resulting from the expansion and movement of the crucible
  • They improve electrical insulation during sintering
  • They can be used to adjust the sintering depth and to reduce heat losses from the furnace
  • They reduce the risk of perforation when the crucible wears or cracks
  • They can be used in the electronic detection of defects in the crucible
  • They facilitate the removal of a worn crucible
