Superwelder6gr Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I’m building a gas forge and was wondering if anyone had ever insulated theirs with roxul afb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Can't seem to find a temperature rating for it so most likely NOT a refractory item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo313 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Roxul lists its melting point at 2150F. But it also has a limited time for effective fire barrier use in residential firewall applications. I doubt it'll hold up to direct flame contact for very long, even if you don't accidentally melt the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Stuff usually fails before it melts due to structural issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
