Loose Bulk Density

The loose bulk density of CIDOMLITE is normally in the range of 100-200 Kg/m3 and is influenced by the particle size and method of processing.

Incombustibility

• CIDOMLITE is incombustible and can be used up to 1,100oC.

Sintering Temperature

• About 1,260oC (2,300oF)

Melting Point

• About 1,315oC (2,400oF)

Specific Heat

• 0.2

Insolubility

Absorption Capacity

CIDOMLITE will readily hold liquids within the inter-laminar voids of particles. It will also hold a certain amount between the individual particles. Water retained as a percentage of the air dry weight will be approximately 240%

Thermal Conductivity

CIDOMLITE has low thermal conductivity and high thermal insulation properties. The thermal conductivity at normal atmospheric temperatures:
K=0.43 – 0.45 Btu in/ft2hoF
K=0.062 – 0.065 W/moC
