SoliPaper X-Grade

SoliPaper™ X-Grade

SoliPaper X-grade is our standard Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) 2300°F paper which is available for use in a wide range of applications. The SoliBulk™ X-grade, which is the main component of manufacturing process of the SoliPaper X-grade, is one of the products taking most benefit of the Generation III, Ultra Low Shot fiber technology. In result the SoliPaper X-grade, compared to standard RCF papers, excels in the highest possible thermal insulation value, low dust and handling strength.

SoliPaper X-grade is manufactured from our standard RCF SoliWool bulk and special selected fillers. With a classification temperature of 2300°F it is recommended for use up till 2000°F.

Description

​SoliPaper X-grade is the most standardized of our two Refractory Ceramic Fiber based paper products and is used in a wide range of applications with great success. It is also one of the products which takes most benefit of the Ultra Low Shot spining technology, which is commonly used for the production of our fiber products. SoliPaper X-grade has a classification temperature of 2300°F and is recommended for use till 2000°F continuously.

The Ultra Low Shot technology, originally developed for our Low Bio Persistence fibers, is enabling us to offer you a paper with is differenciating to other refractory ceramic fiber papers with its smooth surface, higher mechanical strength and close dimensional tolerance.

SoliPaper X-grade is very flexible, and offers a high tensile strength thanks to the high fiber index. As a result it is particulary suited to all applications requiring further processing (laminated composites, die-cutting, rolling, folding). SoliPaper X-grade is using organic binders which burn out on the first firing, starting at approximately 500°F.

Next to the SoliPaper from RCF(-Zr) fiber we also offer an extensive range of low bio persistence grade (LBP) papers and special paper grades using PCW fibers up till 2950°F.

Availability

SoliPaper X-grade is supplied in a density of 12 to 13 PCF and in a standard thickness range from 1/16 to 3/8 inch. Our SoliPaper is standard available in both Jumborolls and standard rolls.

SoliPaper in standard rolls is supplied in carton boxes. All our paper are packed on a heat treated export pallet. Standard rolls are packed with 20 or 21 rolls (pending size) rolls per pallet.

Length (inch) Width (inch) Thickness (inch) Rolls per pallet
3000 24 1/16 20
1500 24 1/8 20
750 24 1/4 20
1500 48 1/16 21
750 48 1/8 21
375 48 1/4 21

Next to the standard rolls we also supply our SoliPaper X-grade in Jumbo Rolls. Jumbo Rolls are ideal for large quantity die-cut gaskets which can be used in the automotive –and domestic appliances industry, minimizing cutting waste. The jumborolls have a standard width of 47 - 1/4 inch1200 mm which allow to be loaded with 4 rolls per pallet. The jumborolls are provided with heist belts in the roll which allow swift loading on the feeder for high volume gasket cutting.
