Firetemp®, usually known as Super Firetemp®, is widely used as insulation for hot piping supports. It is an inorganic incombustible material. Chemically, it features a xonotlite crystal structure that results in exceptional strength and extremely low water uptake. Super Firetemp® is composed primarily of lime, silica, and reinforcing fibers. The product is white, essentially dust-free, and contains no asbestos. It is an excellent material for structural insulation inserts.
