Fiber Armor™ is a surface reinforcement system engineered for ceramic fiber linings in high-temperature furnaces. While lightweight fiber linings are widely adopted for lower weight, faster heat-up, improved thermal efficiency, and reduced energy consumption, their hot-face surface often suffers from flame erosion, high-velocity gas attack, powdering, thermal shock damage, cracking, and frequent maintenance. Fiber Armor™ does not replace the fiber lining—after application and curing, it forms a dense protective layer on the hot face to reduce erosion, limit hot-gas penetration, improve thermal shock resistance, reinforce weakened areas, and extend maintenance intervals.
FiberArmor™ is suitable for hot-face surface reinforcement of fiber linings in many high-temperature systems, including:
