Plumbing / Welding Pads consists of a high quality ceramic free felt faced with a fire retardant silica cloth, the whole composite held together with glass tape and fire retardant thread to form a sealed
envelope for the fibres.
 
 
Advantages :-
 
- The low thermal conductivity of the fibre, means that the heat from a brazing torch is reflected rather than transferred.
 
- Given a limited duration of heat the pad does not allow temperatures to be reached which are high enough to damage paper, paint or plastics on the cold surface.
 
- The low heat retention in the pad means that after use the pad can be moved on by hand to a new joint with minimum delay.
 
- The pad can be frequently wrapped around a small radius without significant loss of  integral strength.
 
- Time to cool after normal brazing operation approx. 20 seconds.
