Duratec is a high-density versatile engineering material in Calcium silicate.
It is non-combustible and operates in electrical & thermal environments up to 1000°C. Available in 2 grades:
Duratec 1000 exhibits low shrinkage
Duratec 750 exhibits higher strength
The strength of Duratec is substantially maintained at maximum temperature, Duratec 750 actually increasing in strength at elevated temperatures.
