The UK leader in Stud Welding and Refractory products
Kaowool® Papers are a versatile range of high-performance ceramic fibre paper and felt products designed for thermal insulation, sealing, filtration and heat treatment applications. Manufactured from high-purity ceramic fibres and specialised binder systems, Kaowool Papers combine excellent thermal performance with outstanding flexibility, handling characteristics and ease of fabrication.
Engineered to provide reliable insulation performance in demanding industrial environments, Kaowool Papers offer low thermal conductivity, low heat storage and excellent tensile strength while remaining easy to wrap, cut, shape and die-cut into complex components. Their lightweight construction makes them an effective solution for thermal management applications where conventional insulation materials may be difficult to install or fabricate
Kaowool Papers combine thermal insulation performance with exceptional flexibility and fabrication characteristics, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
