SoliPaper™ ZR-Grade

SoliPaper ZR-grade is our high temperature paper with a classification temperature of 2600°F providing a proven solution in applications operating continuously to temperatures of 2400°F.

SoliPaper ZR-grade is produced from our RCF-Zr bulk with Generation III, Ultra Low Shot, fiber technology. 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 ZR-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 ZR-grade is using organic binders which burn out on the first firing, starting at approximately 500°F.

Next to the SoliPaper types 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.

Description

​SoliPaper ZR-grade is our highest positioned refractory ceramic fiber paper (RCF-Zr)2600 in the SoliPaper product range, only having the SoliPaper PCW to outperform on classification temperature. The high classification temperature is the result of the use of Zirconia in the chemical composition of the fiber. The SoliPaper ZR-grade has a classification temperature of 2600°F and is engineered to perform continuously in a wide range of applications up till 2400°F.

Utilizing an optimized production process to manufacture uniform, lightweight, low shot and flexible paper-like products, we are able to create a product with a smooth surface, close dimension tolerances, exceptionally low dust, high handling strength, better thermal insulating performance and retains its flexibility after compression. SoliPaper ZR-grade is very flexible, but offers a high tensile strength as result of the high fiber index. It is particulary suited to all applications requiring further processing (laminated composites, die-cutting, rolling, folding).

SoliPaper ZR-grade is part of the SoliPaper product range. 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 ZR-grade is manufactured 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. Standard rolls are packed with 20 or 21 rolls (pending dimension) per pallet. Please refer to  the list below for dimensions of the standard rolls.

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 ZR-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 inch which allow them to be shipped 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.
