Calcium Silicate Board for High Temperature vs. Construction Use

Calcium silicate board is a versatile material known for its thermal insulation, fire resistance, and durability. However, not all calcium silicate boards are the same—they are divided into high-temperature industrial use and general construction use. At Kerui Refractory, we specialize in high-performance calcium silicate boards designed for extreme heat and demanding industrial environments.

Understanding the differences between these two types—including their temperature resistance, applications, and material properties—will help you select the best solution for your needs.

1. High-Temperature Calcium Silicate Board: Built for Extreme Heat

Designed to withstand up to 1100°C, high-temperature calcium silicate boards are essential in industries where heat resistance and insulation are critical.

Key Applications:
✔ Industrial furnaces & kilns
✔ Petrochemical & power plants
✔ Steel ladles & refractory backup layers
✔ High-temperature pipe & duct insulation

Why Choose High-Temp Calcium Silicate Board?
✅ Extreme heat resistance (1000°C+)
✅ Low thermal conductivity for energy efficiency
✅ Custom shapes (pipes, curved panels, grooved blocks)
✅ Mechanical strength under thermal stress

At Kerui Refractory, we provide custom-cut calcium silicate boards for complex insulation needs, including kiln linings, pipe sections, and furnace insulation.

2. Construction-Grade Calcium Silicate Board: Fireproof & Lightweight

Used primarily in building interiors, these boards focus on fireproofing, moisture resistance, and easy installation rather than extreme heat insulation.

Common Uses:
✔ Fire-rated walls & ceilings
✔ HVAC duct enclosures
✔ Prefab building panels
✔ Moisture-resistant wall linings

Key Benefits:
✅ Fire resistance up to 650°C
✅ Lightweight & easy to install
✅ Paintable & smooth finish
✅ Mold & moisture resistant

4. How to Choose the Right Calcium Silicate Board?

✔ For temperatures above 600°C, always choose high-temperature calcium silicate board.
✔ Need custom shapes? Industrial-grade boards can be molded into pipes, arches, and complex insulation blocks.
✔ For fireproof walls & ceilings, construction-grade boards are more cost-effective.
