LUMINAR PRODUCTS

Advanced materials for glass hot casting, kiln casting,
slumping and fusing.
ZIRCAR's LUMINAR Products are advanced materials for hot glass slumping and fusing. No other mold materials are as strong, light, versatile, durable, and easy to use. Our mold making materials are designed to be extremely stable while heated, resist sticking and are in most cases can be re-used for a number of cast or slumped parts.

Our products include Mold Mix 6 which is a high temperature refractory Molding compound designed to allow replication of 3-D objects in glass, LUMINAR Moldable Sheets which is a high alumina ceramic laminate sheet which has the ability to become pliable when wetted and regain its original strength when dried. Hot glass will not stick to it making it ideal for slumping molds as well as re-usable non-stick kiln shelf liners

 

LUMINAR MOLD MIX 6 is a refractory-molding compound designed to allow replication of three-dimensional objects in glass. 
LUMINAR MOLDABLE SHEET Type RS-DD is a high alumina product composed of high purity alumina reinforced with high-alumina ceramic fibers made up in thin sheet forms. It has excellent strength and can be fired repeatedly to 1800'F with no shrinkage. It is completely safe to handle and use. It contains no asbestos or hazardous materials. LUMINAR MOLDABLE SHEET
LUMINAR CERAMIC PAPER  ZRCI Alumina-Silica Fiber Paper Type ASPA-1, ASPA-2 and ASPA-970 are premium grade, lightweight refractory materials made from high purity alumina-silica fibers formed into highly flexible sheets. These papers exhibit very low thermal conductivity and are designed for use in applications where purity, cracking resistance, high strength and resistance to heat are paramount. Due to their exceptional resistance to heat flow for their thickness, they provide maximum thermal resistance where space is at a premium. These materials are virtually shot free and are the cleanest refractory papers available. They are ideal for applications up to 1260°C (2300°F). They possess excellent chemical stability and resist attack from most corrosive agents. Because of their high purity chemistry, they resist both oxidation and reduction environments. If they become wet due to water, steam or oil, physical and thermal properties will return upon drying.

Type ASPA-1 contains an latex binder to provide increased handling strength at room temperature.

Type ASPA-2 is produced with no organic volatiles and will not produce smoke or odor when heated.

Type ASPA-970 is formed into highly flexible and drapable sheets.
LUMINAR BODY SOLUABLE PAPER  ZRCI Silica-Magnesia Papers Type RSPA-SOL are thermal insulation products capable of withstanding continuous operating temperatures up to 1260°C (2300°F). The fibers are body soluble and are designed to have enhanced in-vitro solubility characteristics which enable them to meet European regulatory requirements for synthetic vitreous fibers (European regulatory requirements directive 97/69/EC).
LUMINAR SILICA BLANKET Type SB-2000 is a high temperature insulation blanket made of mechanically interlocked continuous filament amorphous silica fibers with useful properties to temperatures of 1093°C (2000°F). Great for Bead making insulation.
ALUMINA COAT is a water solution of high purity alumina. It is an excellent bonding agent for LUMINAR MOLDABLE SHEET and a rigidizer for LUMINAR CERAMIC PAPER. 
LUMINAR FUSING SHEET Type RS-100 is a rigid reinforced structural alumina composite material which is ideal for use as glass kiln shelves and  furniture.
LUMINAR MOLDABLE BLANKET Type RS-A Moldable  is a wet blanket that can be easily formed into a wide variety of simple and complex shapes. Drying results in a strong rigid shape that can be re-wet to restore the original moldability. It is ideal for large slumping molds requiring greater strength or as kiln repair material.
