MONOLUX ® -500 and -800

Structural calcium silicates

MONOLUX® materials are rigid insulation boards with a low
thermal conductivity. They are specifically formulated without
asbestos and mineral fibres.
MONOLUX® products have low shrinkage and high strength
and therefore provide effective and stable insulation solutions
for industrial applications.
MONOLUX®-500 is a rigid machinable insulation used as a
thermal break in process plants and as single skin insulation in
ovens and dryers.
MONOLUX®-800 boards are strong rigid insulation boards
ideally suited for applications where good insulation values and
high mechanical resistance are required.
Typical applications
Platen press insulation
Load bearing pipe supports
Heat shields
Structural thermal breaks
Furnace bottom boards
Working & processing
MONOLUX® products can be accurately machined with special
processing machinery and appropriate tools. The fine material
structure allows the production of precision machined parts.
MONOLUX® boards can be easily fixed in place by screws
or Tucker Fasteners. When using screws, slot holes should
be included.
When cutting to size, the maximum allowable recommended
workplace concentration for dust generation must be observed.
We advise localised dust extraction in the cutting zone.
