Syalon 110 was originally developed as a break ring for the horizontal continuous casting of steel. As such, its properties include improved corrosion resistance to steel compared to other Syalons, outstanding thermal shock resistance and usable up to temperatures in excess of 1450°C.

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Syalon 110

The table below lists typical mechanical, thermal and electrical property data for Syalon 110.

Typical physical property data obtained under test conditions. All properties have been measured by independent testing authorities. The values given only apply to the test bodies on which they were determined, and therefore can only be recommended values.

Applications of Syalon 110

Syalon 110 is typically used in specialist applications where extreme high temperature durability, thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance are required. These include thermocouple protection sheaths in ferrous and non-ferrous molten metal applications and as a break ring for horizontal continuous casting of steel.
