Chemical properties
The ceramic fiber modules contain a high chemical resistance except liquid acids, phosphoric
acids and strong bases. Moistening with water or oil doesn’t influence the properties of
ceramic fiber itself. After drying respectively evaporation, the thermal and physical properties
will be set to their normal conditions.
Be careful with the material in combination with heating elements, because of possible
corrosion
