During the 1980’s, 3000 Fiber Technology was developed. This product offered long term high or cyclic temperature operations. 3000 “Polycrystalline Alumina Fibers” exhibit excellent thermal stability, resiliency, erosion resistance and mechanical strength at temperatures to 1600°C (2912°F).

3000 is a mullite fiber. Mullite is a stable material that does not change molecularly through the temperature range, up until it melts (1850°C). The silica in 3000 is contained within the structure of Mullite and is not allowed to form free silica. 3000 fiber diameter averages 5 microns.

URC offers many possible REFSOURCE product solutions using 3000 as the base product. These various combinations of products allow for varying temperature ranges.  We offer custom Modules, Combo Modules and Econo style modules. Please see the information below on our solutions using 3000 as the base product.

3000 Module
Modules that are Serpentine Folded and compressed using 100% 3000 Material.

67/33 Combo Modules
Modules that are compressed with U-folds of 3000 and 1 Edge Grain strip of HTZ Blanket in the middle of the U-fold of 3000.

50/50 Combo Modules
Modules that are compressed with interlocking U-folds of 3000 and HTZ material.

Econo Style Wrap Modules are avaialble with the following combinations:
Single Layer – Edge Grain strips of HTZ compressed with a 1” thick layer of 3000 on the Hot-face and 2 sides (3 SF of 3000).

Double Layer – Edge Grain strips of HTZ compressed with 2” thick of 3000 on the Hot-face and 1” on 2 sides (4 SF of 3000).

Triple Layer – Edge Grain strips of HTZ compressed with 3” thick of 3000 on the Hot-face and 1” on 2 sides (5 SF of 3000).
