FractalBalls™
(low density, high strength HMG1 balls, various sizes available, use for multipurpose insulation and as the basic building block for large size ceramic structures)

FractalGlue™/ Thinner (for FractalPaste™)


FractalPaste™ (multipurpose paste, use to bond ceramics such as FractalBalls™, other ceramics, fill furnace cracks, even large ones with a mixture of FractalBalls™ and FractalPaste™)


HA FractalBalls™ (low density, high strength alumina balls, various sizes available, use for multipurpose insulation and as the basic building block for large size ceramic structures)

HA Fractalins™
(ceramic boards made of alumina material good to about 1950°C.  High thermal shock resistant.)


HD Fractalins™ (ceramic boards made of HMG1 material good to about 1850°C.  High thermal shock resistant.)

RHDFractalins™
(use against liquid aluminum as a refractory, highly non-wettable)


Tubes (for use at high temperatures and in contact with liquid metals)


Discs
(kiln furniture also see boxes and saggers in price list)


 FiberFree™ material inside a furnace.

 

FRACTALBALLS™and HAFRACTALBALLS™ may be used as thermal insulation, chemical substrates or as structural materials when bonded with FRACTALPASTE™.  Structural materials find use as light weight structures and for acoustic damping.  Preformed structures are FRACTALINS™, HDFRACTALINS™, HAFRACTALINS™ and Filters. HDFRACTALINS™ have a density of ~1.1g/cc, are comprised of bonded FRACTALBALLS™,whereas FRACTALINS™ have a density of ~0.7g/cc.

Use as thermal insulation: FRACTALBALLS™ have very low density, low thermal conductivity, high strength, and a high melting point; they can be formed into any shape and size and can be used in any refractory/insulation parts for high and low temperature application. Unlike other insulation material, FRACTALBALLS™ or FRACTALINS™ or HDFRACTALINS™ have no fibers (fiberfree™).  FRACTALINS™ and HDFRACTALINS™ may be directly substituted for high temperature fiber boards or bricks you may be currently using without the danger posed by short fibers.


 

Typical applications are:
  • thermal insulation
  • fire protection and stops
  • high temperature furnace linings
  • kiln furniture
  • gas combustion burners

  • commonly used for repairing or relining refractory cracks and holes
  • acoustic dampers (sound insulation)


           Use with liquid metals.

 

Use for high surface reactivity: FRACTALBALLS™, HA FRACTALBALLS™, FRACTALINS™, HDFRACTALINS™, HAFRACTALINS™and Filters have very high porosity/low density, high strength and a high melting point. They may be used for high temperature filter and membrane substrate applications.
 
     

 

    Other typical applications are:
    (Note the high surface area and porosity from the microstructures shown in Product Specs.)
    • Filter for gases, liquids, or liquid metals
    • Molten metal castings (aluminum, copper, iron)
    • Steam cleaning
    • Light weight coating
    • Oil trapping and recovery, grease filters
    • Chemical and water purification processes
    • Hot-gas filters substrates for electrode
    • Electronic substrates carriers for bioreactors
    • Desiccants
    • Substrates for catalytic converters

    • Usage as light weight structural materials


Use as filter or acoustic damper.

 

FRACTALBALLS™, FRACTLAINS™, HDFRACTALINS™, and Filters have unique microstructures, very low density, high strength, and high hardness. Typical applications are:
  • Light weight structure materials.
  • Composite manufacture reinforcement additive for metal, ceramic, or polymer.
  • Armor, bio-ceramic, abrasive brake pads etc.

  • Coatings for surfaces (metals, ceramics, and polymers)
