Description:

  • SIRCA-25L uses the Lockheed Insulation, LI-2200 fibrous ceramic substrate (0.353 g/cc density) and is impregnated with silicone to produced a final density of approximately 0.4 g/cc. SIRCA-25L can withstand higher heating rates and has a high mechanical strength compared to SIRCA-15F and SIRCA-14A, due to its high density pure silica substrate.
