High temperature resistant materials, one including between approximately 45nand 55 dry weight percent of high temperature resistant Silica fibers, and the othernincluding between approximately 50 and 60 dry weight percent of magnesium silicate,nthat have improved physical properties, such as being capable of withstandingntemperatures in excess of 2,000 °F, effective sealing, and being sufficiently resilientlyncompressible for cushioning a monolithic catalyst structure against breakage due tonexternal physical shocks. |
