Best heat insulator @ 700 degrees F
Best heat insulator @ 700 degrees F
(OP)
I have a heat stake application where I need to insulate my cartridge heater which I will be heating to 700 degrees F.
The heater will be in a piece of 1018 steel. I would like to insulate the rest of my mounting pieces from the heat.
I have looked at several ceramic materials and also at a high pressure laminate called Phenolic G7. We have used these materials with disappointing results. The ceramic cracked & the Phenolic G7 didn't insulate very well.
My question is, Is there a better material that I can use? I've seen simiar mechanical equipment with a "stone" type of material (it's not ceramic). Unfortunately our vendor will not part with the information of type of material or where they got it from.
Any help would be appreciated.

I suggest you look into FOAMGLAS. 900 F max temp.
Rigid with high psf capacity.

I haven't used this myself, but the best insulation specs I've seen are from Microtherm http://www.microtherm.uk.com/index.html.

Supplier? I don't recall, I let pruchasing worry about that but I can find out if needed.
