ALUMINA MOLDABLE SLEEVING TYPE RS-MS ZIRCAR Refractory Composites, Inc. produces a comprehensive range of advanced high performance ceramic-ceramic composites and related products. Our materials are used around the world in demanding thermal, structural and electrical insulating applications at temperatures from 600°C(1112°F) to 1650°C(3002°F). For over twenty-five years we have been a problem solver working with many industries to resolve their thermal management problems. We have developed materials that have become industry standards for induction melting, forging and heat-treating applications, investment casting, glass processing, hot pressing, as well as many high temperature electrical applications. GENERAL INFORMATION ZRCI Refractory Sheet Type RS-MS Moldable Sleeving is a moist woven alumina composite sleeving. It is supplied in a wet form ready for the fabrication of custom shapes. It can be cut to size with a knife or scissors, wrapped around a suitable form, air dried, and immediately put into service. It is ideal for applications up to up to 1300°C (2373°F). ZRCI Refractory Sheet Type RS-MS Moldable Sleeving is odorless and contains no asbestos. Its high alumina content makes RS-MS highly resistant to many environments including molten aluminum as well as many types of fuel oils. When hardened with AL-HARD, it becomes “rock hard” for greater strength. The many uses for Type RS-MS Sleeving include: cover for rings and saddles used in the annealing of hand blown glassware; asbestos sleeving replacement metal tube and pipe insulation; hose line and cable protection; and high temperature gaskets.
