R-fACTOR - Fiber Mat
BGF’s new R-fACTOR is a breakthrough, award-winning innovation for high temperature insulation that provides consistent, reliable product uniformity and performance surpassing any comparable product on the market today.
R-fACTOR is a process that produces an unprecedented 4.5pcf density mat with physical characteristics that are exceptionally uniform and consistent. A variety of fibers can be used to develop an R-fACTOR mat, such as fiberglass, SilcoSoft® and other high performance fibers.
R-fACTOR is an adhesive-free, mechanically bonded mat weighing in at only 4.5 pcf with thicknesses ranging from 0.75” to 1”. Proprietary processing methods allow for flexibility of the high temperature fibers utilized. R-fACTOR is particularly effective where low weight and low density are key design parameters. R-fACTOR also offers excellent thermal and acoustical performance in high temperature environments.
Partner with BGF to develop a customized solution with R-fACTOR that will meet and exceed the requirements of your engineering design project.
