ZircoFlex^TM - Our flexible ceramic heat shield material

ZircoFlex^TM is a revolutionary flexible ceramic heat shield material, offering superb thermal barrier performance at minimal weight and minimal thickness. The material is produced as a thin aluminium backed foil that is:

• Flexible - ZircoFlex^TM is easily bent and manipulated to suit different geometries, and can even be folded tightly through 180^o without damaging the thermal barrier.
• Lightweight - ZircoFlex^TM weighs only 0.46kg/m².
• Extremely thin (0.25mm overall) needing only minimal space for installation
  
• Aluminium backed, so the material is robust and easy to handle.
  
• Easily cut and installed by hand or machine.
• Easily fixed in place using mechanical fasteners or high temperature adhesives (supplied separately by Zircotec).

ZircoFlex^TM is available in a number of formats

• ZircoFlex I ^TM - this is ZircoFlex^TM in its single thickness format (as outlined above); supplied in four sizes, some with self-adhesive options.
  
• ZircoFlex II ^TM - an engineered double thickness format offering additional thermal barrier performance and a little more rigidity; still thin (~0.5mm) and lightweight (~1 kg/m²); it is supplied in two sizes. 
  
• ZircoFlex III ^TM - an engineered triple thickness format offering yet more thermal performance. This is a relatively rigid material that can be used to construct small self-supporting structures, though it is still easily cut and bent to shape and is still relatively thin (~0.85mm) and lightweight (~1.5 kg/m²). It is supplied in two sizes.
