Q-Fiber® Bulk

Q-Fiber® is an amorphous, exceptionally pure fibrous silica material used as a lightweight, non-crystalline component in high temperature thermal insulations. Q-Fiber® is formed from high-silica-content sand which is melted, fiberized, acid-washed to remove impurities, rinsed, dried, and heat-treated for structural integrity. These flexible and resilient fibers enable Q-Fiber® to be readily formed into a variety of standard and unique shapes including sheets, felts, blocks, tiles, and cast forms. Q-Fiber® forms the primary component for a diversity of insulating materials used in aerospace applications in which service temperatures range from -170°F (-112°C) to 2300°F (1260°C). Q-Fiber® is an efficient, economical alternative for many conventional insulating materials used in nuclear power, automotive, catalytic conversion, and chemical applications. Because of its exceptionally pure fibrous construction, Q-Fiber® Bulk also provides a potential source for filtration material.
