The difference between soluble ceramic fiberboard and traditional ceramic fiberboard can be compared and analyzed from the perspective of health and safety:
1. Health and safety: the essential breakthrough from "carcinogenic risk" to "biodegradable"
Traditional ceramic fiberboard: using insoluble aluminum silicate fiber (such as alumina-silicon dioxide system), the fiber cannot be decomposed in the human body, and it is easy to deposit in the alveoli after long-term inhalation, causing pulmonary fibrosis and even carcinogenesis (listed as a Class 3 carcinogen by WHO).
Soluble ceramic fiberboard: using biosoluble aluminum magnesium silicate fiber (such as Al₂O₃-MgO-SiO₂ system), the fiber can be gradually hydrolyzed into non-toxic compounds (such as SiO₂, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺) in body fluids, and excreted from the body through metabolism, significantly reducing occupational health risks.
Case: Traditional fiber dust remains in the lungs for decades, while soluble fiber dust can be degraded within a few months, reducing the risk of chronic damage.
2. Occupational health standards
Traditional fiber: It is mandatory to wear high-level respiratory protection equipment (such as P3 dust masks), and the working environment must strictly monitor the dust concentration (EU 8-hour plus authority value ≤ 0.5mg/m³).
Soluble fiber: It complies with the EU OSHA "Occupational Exposure Limit" (8-hour plus authority value ≤ 1mg/m³), and ordinary dust masks can meet the protection needs, greatly reducing the cost of corporate occupational health management.
