The Protect-A-Pad consists of a high quality ceramic 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 ceramic 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.
