    Overview

    Carbon fiber insulation for high-temperature furnaces

    KRECA FR is a high-purity insulation material that is ideal for use in high-temperature furnaces such as for metal heat treatment, ceramic sintering, and silicon ingot pulling.

    About the product

    KRECA FR, which has excellent insulating properties, is a product designed for use in furnaces with a high-temperature closed atmosphere. The graphitized carbon fiber insulation is manufactured by molding carbon fiber felt into specified shapes, such as boards, disks, and cylinders, using a small quantity of binder.

    Main applications

    • Insulation for furnaces that manufacture multicrystalline silicon ingots
    • Insulation for furnaces that manufacture sapphire ingots or optical-fiber preforms
    • Insulation for monocrystalline silicon ingot-pulling furnaces
    • Insulation for sintering or heat-treating furnaces

    Features

    • Our insulation features superior thermal properties and excellent stability in a high-temperature atmosphere.
    • Our insulation is lightweight, yet solid enough to stand by itself. Complex machining is available as well.
    • Kureha handles the entire manufacturing process, which enables the quality to be closely controlled.
    • Various types of surface treatment are available to meet customer requirements.
    • Our insulation is less dusty than felt-formed insulation.

    Installation advantages

    • Since KRECA FR is lightweight and easily machined into customers’ specified shapes, it is easy to handle or place, which reduces maintenance downtime.
    • We can support supply customers with insulation that is customized according to their needs in terms of thermal properties, surface treatments, product purity, and other requirements. Customers can freely design KRECA FR to suit their usage or conditions inside their furnaces.
    • We can provide surface treatments that ideally meet requirements, such as dust prevention or improving gas sealing.
    • The high purity of KRECA FR and its closely controlled production processes prevent contamination.
