What is Max Heat A?
Max Heat A is a high-temperature insulation board made from a combination of calcium silicate, mineral fibres, and heat-resistant binders.
It’s specially engineered to provide superior thermal insulation in environments that experience continuous exposure to extreme temperatures, typically up to 1000°C.
Unlike traditional asbestos materials, Max Heat A is 100% asbestos-free, making it safer for workers and compliant with modern environmental regulations.
It’s lightweight, rigid, and easy to handle — making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and construction applications.
Composition and Structure
Max Heat A boards are produced using advanced pressing and curing technology that ensures uniform density and consistent performance.
Typical composition includes:
- Calcium silicate – provides structural stability and heat resistance
- Reinforcing mineral fibres – improve strength and durability
- Special binders and additives – enhance bonding, workability, and longevity
This combination makes Max Heat A an excellent replacement for asbestos mill boards, offering the same thermal protection without the associated health risks.
Applications of Max Heat A in Kenya
Max Heat A insulation is used widely across industries in Kenya where heat management and safety are critical.
- Boilers and Furnaces
Max Heat A is an ideal insulation lining for boiler walls, furnace doors, and fireboxes.
It helps retain heat, reduce energy loss, and protect metal surfaces from direct flame exposure.
- Kilns and Ovens
Used as an internal lining or backing insulation, Max Heat A maintains consistent temperatures within ceramic kilns, bakery ovens, and industrial dryers.
- Foundries and Steel Plants
In foundries, Max Heat A protects the furnace shells, casting sections, and exhaust ducts from high radiant heat.
- Power Plants and Refineries
In the energy and petrochemical sectors, Max Heat A insulation helps improve efficiency and reduce the thermal stress on pipelines, boilers, and turbines.
- Construction and Fireproofing
Builders use Max Heat A as a fire barrier, ceiling panel, or wall lining in buildings where fire safety standards are mandatory — such as hotels, hospitals, and industrial plants.
- Automotive and Mechanical Workshops
Max Heat A is used as a heat shield in engine test rooms, exhaust systems, and brake test facilities to ensure thermal protection.
- Cement, Glass, and Chemical Industries
These sectors use Max Heat A to line rotary kilns, dryers, reactors, and insulation chambers, maintaining steady production while reducing fuel consumption.
