FractalBalls™
(low density, high strength HMG1 balls, various sizes available,
use for multipurpose insulation and as the basic building block
for large size ceramic structures)
FractalGlue™/ Thinner (for FractalPaste™)
FractalPaste™
(multipurpose paste, use to bond ceramics such as FractalBalls™,
other ceramics, fill furnace cracks, even large ones with a mixture
of FractalBalls™ and FractalPaste™)
HA
FractalBalls™ (low density, high strength alumina balls,
various sizes available, use for multipurpose insulation and as
the basic building block for large size ceramic structures)
HA Fractalins™ (ceramic boards made of alumina material
good to about 1950°C. High thermal shock resistant.)
HD
Fractalins™ (ceramic boards made of HMG1 material good
to about 1850°C. High thermal shock resistant.)
RHDFractalins™
(use against liquid aluminum as a refractory, highly non-wettable)
Tubes
(for use at high temperatures and in contact with liquid metals)
Discs (kiln furniture also see boxes and saggers in price
list)

FRACTALBALLS™and
HAFRACTALBALLS™ may be used as thermal insulation, chemical substrates
or as structural materials when bonded with FRACTALPASTE™. Structural
materials find use as light weight structures and for acoustic damping.
Preformed structures are FRACTALINS™, HDFRACTALINS™, HAFRACTALINS™
and Filters. HDFRACTALINS™ have a density of ~1.1g/cc, are comprised
of bonded FRACTALBALLS™,whereas FRACTALINS™ have a density of ~0.7g/cc.
Use
as thermal insulation: FRACTALBALLS™ have very low density,
low thermal conductivity, high strength, and a high melting point;
they can be formed into any shape and size and can be used in any
refractory/insulation parts for high and low temperature application.
Unlike other insulation material, FRACTALBALLS™ or FRACTALINS™ or
HDFRACTALINS™ have no fibers (fiberfree™). FRACTALINS™ and
HDFRACTALINS™ may be directly substituted for high temperature fiber
boards or bricks you may be currently using without the danger posed
by short fibers. |

Typical
applications are:
- thermal
insulation
- fire
protection and stops
- high
temperature furnace linings
- kiln
furniture
- gas
combustion burners
commonly
used for repairing or relining refractory cracks and holes
- acoustic
dampers (sound insulation)
|
Use with liquid metals.
|
Use
for high surface reactivity: FRACTALBALLS™, HA FRACTALBALLS™,
FRACTALINS™, HDFRACTALINS™, HAFRACTALINS™and Filters have very high
porosity/low density, high strength and a high melting point. They
may be used for high temperature filter and membrane substrate applications.

Other
typical applications are:
(Note
the high surface area and porosity from the microstructures shown
in Product
Specs.)
- Filter
for gases, liquids, or liquid metals
- Molten
metal castings (aluminum, copper, iron)
- Steam
cleaning
- Light
weight coating
- Oil
trapping and recovery, grease filters
- Chemical
and water purification processes
- Hot-gas
filters substrates for electrode
- Electronic
substrates carriers for bioreactors
- Desiccants
- Substrates
for catalytic converters
Usage
