AES Plus engineered for superior chemical resistance and zero crystalline silica formation

AES Plus offers the same benefits as the other members of the AES family but with improved handling strength and enhanced thermal properties. AES Plus is manufactured from pure raw materials using a new manufacturing technology. In addition to enhanced thermal properties, large nuisance dust particles have been effectively eliminated making the product soft to the touch and less irritating during use.

AES Plus Blanket is made of long AES fibres having the same chemical formulation as the original and well-proven AES 607 product. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities. It exhibits outstanding insulating properties at elevated temperatures.

AES Plus Blanket has excellent thermal stability and retains its original soft fibrous structure up to its maximum continuous use temperature. AES Plus is needled from both sides and possesses high strength, before and after heating. AES Plus Blanket contains neither binder nor lubricant and does not emit any fumes or smell during the first firing. AES Plus is flexible, easy to cut and shape and easy to install. (CAS number: 329211-92-9).

Classification Temperature

With AES Plus, the consistent use of pure raw materials in all our factories Globally has lead to the 4% shrinkage temperature rising from >1100°C to >1200°C. For this reason, the classification temperature is now given as 1200°C in line with the EN1094 norm.

AES 607® has been proven over many years to withstand continuous use in an oxidising atmosphere at 1000°C. This temperature is quoted as the Maximum Continuous Use temperature. For applications above 1000°C, Thermal Ceramics recommends AES 607HT which has a classification temperature of 1300°C.

Main Properties

Colour: White
Density: 64, 96, 128, 160 kg/m³ (4, 6, 8, 10 lbs/ft³)
Tensile strength: 128 kg/m 375 kPa
High Temperature Performance Permanent linear shrinkage after 24 hours isotherm heating at 1200°C <1%

Thermal Conductivity

Following the decision by the European standards committee to withdraw the Thermal Conductivity test according to ENV1094 as being inaccurate, Thermal Ceramics has decided to quote all Thermal Conductivity data according to the well established ASTM C201 method.
