FAQ
As Twinfrax® is comprised of two materials, is there an issue with differential thermal stress?
Twinfrax® has been designed with this specific issue in mind. The dual materials exhibit compatible thermal expansion coefficients meaning that high thermal stress is avoided.
What is the white layer present in Twinfrax® components?
Twinfrax® features a semi-insulating backing layer that reduces heat loss through the burner block. Its material composition is specifically designed for compatibility with the SiC hot face layer.
