Superwool® Plus and Superwool Prime Low Biopersistent Fibres Portfolio

Product catalog summary
Introduction to Superwool® Products
Superwool® Plus and Superwool Prime are advanced, low biopersistent fibres designed for high-temperature insulation, developed by Morgan Advanced Materials' Thermal Ceramics division. These products aim to enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve operational costs in energy-intensive processes.

Low Biopersistent Fibre
These fibres meet environmental and health safety standards, allowing disposal in non-hazardous waste landfills. They offer up to 30% lower thermal conductivity compared to refractory ceramic fibres (RCF) and other commercial alkaline earth silicate (AES) fibres, resulting in higher energy savings.

Superwool Plus and Prime Products
Patented fibres with classification temperatures of 1200°C for Superwool Plus and 1300°C for Superwool Prime. They provide improved energy efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions, and enhanced operational performance.

Engineering Capabilities
Morgan offers application performance evaluation, thermal lining performance, and heat flow calculations. Their global manufacturing footprint ensures regional supply demands are met, and the fibres' low biopersistence enhances safety for handlers.

Product Features and Benefits
Superwool products feature lower thermal conductivity, improved insulation, and longer life due to a stronger fibre matrix. They are designed for easy handling with reduced irritation to the skin and respiratory system.

Applications
Used in industries such as ceramics, glass, metals, consumer goods, power generation, and petrochemicals. Applications include furnace linings, chimney insulation, and process heaters.

Conclusion
Superwool Plus and Prime offer superior thermal management solutions, promoting sustainability and safety in high-temperature environments.

Additional Applications
In consumer goods, they are used for appliance insulation and gasketing. In metalworking, they serve as parting agents and refractory backups. Automotive and aerospace applications include heat shields and muffler insulation.

Environmental, Health and Safety
Superwool is recognized for its low biopersistence and environmental benefits, with a commitment to global EHS legislation compliance and continuous improvement in EHS performance.

Regulatory Compliance
Classified as Alkaline Earth Silicate, Superwool products are not considered hazardous and are exonerated from carcinogen classification in the EU.

Product Development
Emphasizes high-performance applications, minimizing animal testing, and adhering to REACH regulations.

Engineering Services
Morgan provides global engineering support, including root cause analysis, heat transfer calculations, and CO2 emissions analysis, along with design and installation services to optimize thermal management.

Company Overview
Morgan Advanced Materials focuses on sustainable advanced materials, solving complex problems across various industries with a strong emphasis on materials science, application engineering, and customer focus.
