Eng. 31. #16, 6 (Apr, 18, I960) "A flexible high-temperature insulation less expensive than standard asbestos-fiber con structions and showing better resistance to abrasion is claimed by Bjorksten Research Laboratories, Madison, Vis, Key to both lower cost and improved performance is use of steel-wire reinforcement as a binding for bundles of short-fiber asbestos. The wire is a heat-resistant steel, wound around the fiber in an open spiral and so arranged that it serves as the warp (lengthwise fiber) in woven constructions. So little wire is used, says Bjorksten, that the effect on heat trans mission is negligible. But the increase in abrasion resistance is considerable; and use of short fibers in place of the long ones normally required should help cut the cost. It should, says Bjorksten, ''represent an opportunity for anyone seeking a lower cost flexible heat shield," The laboratory has patented the system, will license it for commercial production."
