Description

Introducing Vulcor’s SoliBoard range, manufactured on our state-of-the-art production line, a result of years of expertise and engineering excellence. Our manufacturing process sets us apart from the competition, and here’s why:

SoliBoard is produced on our continuous board line, measuring approximately 400 meter in length and a fixed production width of 1200 mm. This cutting-edge line, established in 2019, incorporates the latest standards and utilizes low-energy consumption drying technology, a unique advantage in our industry. This enables us to deliver exceptional quality while maintaining high output capabilities.

Our highly efficient drying technology reduces energy consumption by 50% compared to conventional forced air drying methods. It empowers us to manufacture uniform, lightweight, low shot, and stable boards up to 100 mm in thickness, consistently meeting the highest standards of quality and performance. In a world where reducing energy consumption and minimizing CO2 emissions is part of sustainable environmental drivers, it is good to realise that we have already taken the first step.

In the SoliBoard product range, SoliBoard ZR-grade is our highest temperature Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) board, rated up to 1430°C1430°C (2600°F), designed for a wide range of applications with continuous operating temperatures of up to 1300°C. Its secure chemical composition, utilizing SoliBulk ZR as the main raw material, combined with advanced production technologies, results in a SoliBoard with precise thickness tolerance and exceptional flatness. Compared to other board types, SoliBoard offers higher strength and improved machining characteristics for CNC cutting.

SoliBoard ZR-grade benefits from the Ultra Low Shot spinning technology, originally developed for our low bio persistence fiber products. By incorporating Generation III Ultra Low Shot fiber technology into our Refractory Ceramic Fiber products, we deliver superior thermal efficiency, increased strength, and improved handling.

Vulcor provides an extensive range of high-temperature board products, including:

• Standard boards
• Inorganic binder boards which give lower LOI% and off-gassing
• High-strength series with superior green strength and post-firing strength
• Special series made from mixed fiber chemistries, often utilizing highly temperature-resistant PCW fibers, for the most demanding applications.

All standard board formulations include a small amount of organic binder to enhance cold handling strength, which burns out during the initial firing at approximately 250°C.
