Fibre Blanket
As a shelf separator, it helps prevent bubbles between the shelf and the glass. As a perimeter dam, it insulates against thermal shock and improves annealing. Cut and construct with it for bas relief design.
You can purchase a 610x610 mm sheet or as a full roll (box) of any thickness. Available in a number thicknesses:
- 0.5mm (box has a roll length - 90000x610mm)
- 1 mm (box has a roll length - 60000x610mm)
- 2 mm (box has a roll length - 30000x610mm)
- 3 mm (box has a roll length - 21000x610mm)
- 5 mm (box has a roll length - 12000x610mm)

A lightweight refractory material processed from high purity alumina-silica fibers. Withstands temperatures up to 2300 degrees F (1260 degrees C). Contains an organic binder which burns off at 1250 degrees F (677 degrees C).
During burn-off the kiln and studio must be well ventilated. These refractory fiber papers when heated above 1800 degrees F (982 degrees C) transform to Cristobalite, a form of crystaline silica, which may cause lung injury.
Does not contain asbestos.
Due to the packing requirements of the paper it is posted as a separate item and will incur a separate postage charge if ordering other items.
