The Flexilite-MC system has been developed as a unique method for superior insulation of the upper section of ingot moulds used for the casting of steel. This system uses several materials from the Unifrax range of high-temperature insulation products. At the core of this system is Flexilite-MC Felt, a specially developed 1260 °C-grade felt product that uses our patented silica-magnesia chemistry. The fibre used in the manufacture of Flexilite-MC Felt has high solubility in simulated body fluids and meets the European and German regulatory requirements.
