EU rules now classify refractory ceramic fiber as a 1B carcinogen, and steel-sector carbon trading puts a price on wasted heat. See the trial data behind the switch to rigid nano insulation boards for
Two temperature grades, two applications. A practical comparison of SLM-1000 (1000 C) and SLM-1200 (1200 C) nano insulation boards for steel ladles, tundish covers and industrial furnace backup layers
A walkthrough of the SLM production line, from fumed silica dispersion to opacifier dosing, hot pressing and final QC, and what buyers should check before trusting a data sheet.
Thermal conductivity, shrinkage, health and total cost compared side by side, so you can pick the right backup insulation for 1000-1200 C service.
