AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for an alternative to fiberglass-based interleaving materials used in aluminum alloy production at high temperatures (around 500 degrees). The current fiberglass material tends to break down into a fine powder, causing irritation for workers. A suggestion is made to consider calcium silicate as a potential substitute, which may meet the requirements for durability and temperature resistance.

hi,,, i work in an industry ,of were we produce aluminuim alloy which is rolled out at temperatures of 500 degrees , we are using a fibre glass based material for interleaving (stop metal to metal contact ) which as a tendency of breaking down to a fine powder substance , which then becomes an irritant to those that use them,

could anybody possibly point me in the right direction for a none fibre glass subtance , material that's hard wearing excessive of 500 degrees and above ,

would be much appreciated , Tony
