Buy good Millboard for high temperature, high pressure, fire protection applications manufactured by Wedge India. Millboard is a versatile, fire-resistant board made from mineral fibers and other heat-resistant materials. It is commonly used in construction and industrial applications for its thermal insulation properties. Here are some key aspects of millboard:
 
Millboard Composition:
• Mineral Fibers: Typically made from a blend of mineral fibers such as asbestos (in older products), calcium silicate, or ceramic fibers. Modern versions are often asbestos-free due to health concerns.
• Binders and Fillers: These may include clay, mica, or other materials that enhance the board’s structural integrity and performance under heat.
 
Millboard Features:
• Thermal Insulation: Provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer in various applications.
• Fire Resistance: Millboard is inherently fire-resistant, making it ideal for use in areas where fire safety is a concern.
• Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, millboard can withstand mechanical stress and chemical exposure, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Acoustic Insulation: It can also offer soundproofing benefits, making it useful in noise-sensitive applications.
 
Millboard Applications:
• Construction: Used as a backing material for fireplaces, stoves, and other areas requiring fire-resistant linings.
• Industrial Insulation: Commonly used in high-temperature environments such as furnaces, kilns, and boilers for lining and insulation.
• Gaskets and Seals: Utilized in making gaskets and seals for engines, boilers, and other equipment where heat resistance is crucial.
• Electrical Insulation: Used in applications where electrical insulation is needed alongside thermal protection, such as in switchgear and control panels.
 
Safety Considerations:
• Asbestos: Older millboard products may contain asbestos, a hazardous material if inhaled. Modern millboards are designed to be asbestos-free for safety.
• Handling: Care should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust or fibers when cutting or handling millboard. Using protective gear such as masks and gloves is advisable.
