When industrial operations demand insulation that withstands extreme heat and punishing environments, Xonotlite high temperature calcium silicate insulation from Wedge India stands out as the premium solution for reliability, efficiency, and safety.

In the world of industrial processes, managing extreme heat is not just a challenge – it's an engineering art. Furnaces roaring at over 1000°C, high-temperature ducts carrying superheated gases, and boilers operating under immense thermal stress all demand insulation that can perform beyond the capabilities of conventional materials. This is where Xonotlite High-Temperature Calcium Silicate Insulation steps in, offering a specialized solution for the most demanding thermal environments.
At Wedge India, we understand the critical need for reliable high-temperature insulation, and our Xonotlite-based Calcium Silicate Boards are at the forefront of this technology.
In high-temperature industrial environments, selecting the right insulation material can significantly improve safety, energy efficiency, and equipment longevity. Wedge India offers a premium solution: Xonotlite-based high temperature calcium silicate insulation—specially engineered for extreme thermal conditions.
What is Xonotlite High Temperature Calcium Silicate Insulation?
Xonotlite is a crystalline calcium silicate mineral that naturally forms under hydrothermal conditions. It is highly stable, lightweight, and capable of withstanding continuous exposure to temperatures up to 1100°C, making it a superior core material for industrial-grade insulation.

What is Xonotlite Calcium Silicate?
While standard Calcium Silicate Boards offer excellent insulation up to moderate high temperatures (typically around 650°C), Xonotlite calcium silicate is a distinct, advanced form. It's derived from a specific crystal structure known as xonotlite (a synthetic hydrous calcium silicate), which provides exceptional thermal stability and performance at much higher temperatures. This unique composition is engineered to thrive where other insulation materials fail.
Xonotlite High Temperature Calcium Silicate Insulation is a specialized crystalline calcium silicate—engineered to deliver exceptional insulation at continuous service temperatures up to 1,100°C. Unlike conventional calcium silicate or mineral wool, Xonotlite boards maintain their physical and thermal integrity in the most demanding applications, including kilns, furnaces, high-temp ducts, and power generation plants.
