Steel wool exhaust gasket

Ferritic steel wool is a material commonly used for exhaust insulation. Made from ferritic steel wire, it is characterised by its high thermal resistance and its ability to withstand high temperatures.

Properties of ferritic steel wool for exhaust insulation :

•     Composition: Ferritic steel wool consists mainly of ferritic stainless steel fibres, which are not only strong but also resistant to corrosion. These fibres are agglomerated in rolls and can be compacted to improve their insulation performance.
•     Thermal properties: It offers excellent heat resistance, with the ability to withstand temperatures ranging from 700°C to 1000°C, which is essential for exhaust applications where exhaust gases can reach very high temperatures.
•     Sound insulation: In addition to its role in thermal management, ferritic steel wool also plays a role in attenuating the noise produced by exhaust gases. It helps to reduce noise by absorbing sound waves and minimising resonance.
•     Durability and strength: Ferritic steel is renowned for its durability, even in environments subject to extreme temperatures and high humidity. This means that ferritic steel wool retains its insulating properties over the long term, without degrading rapidly.

In summary, ferritic steel wool is an ideal material for insulating exhaust systems because of its heat resistance, durability and ability to attenuate noise. It ensures optimum exhaust performance while increasing the longevity of the system.
