IBS Limited - Manufacturing and fabricating industrial insulation materials and buoyancy structures.

Monalite M1a

Promat Monalite materials from Promat are "technical ceramics" made from calcium silicate.  They are formulated without the use of asbestos fibres, and are thermally insulating, non-wetting, fracture tough materials with low shrinkage.  Promat Monalite is the standard product for use in aluminium casting and is also used in the furnace industry and other process industries.

Promat Monalite M1 - Standard product for contact with molten metal up to 850°C.
Promat Monalite M1A - Improved product with higher strength and lower shrinkage.
