Amaco Fiber Shelf Paper is ideal for use as a smooth separator when fusing glass on a flat shelf in a kiln. This paper is made of a lightweight refractory material processed from extremely pure alumina-silica fibers. Designs can be cut out of thicker fiber paper and used to fuse glass over it, creating relief patterns. Fiber Shelf Paper withstands temperatures up to 2300°F (1260°C) . Kiln venting is necessary when using Amaco Fiber Shelf Paper. It transforms to cristobalite, a form of crystalline silica, at temperatures above 1800°F (982°C) . Crystalline silica may cause lung injury, so the use of a respiratory mask is recommended when using this paper. Amaco Fiber Shelf Paper does not contain asbestos.
Description: "A lightweight refractory material processed from high purity alumina-silica fibers ideal for use as a smooth separator when fusing glass. Designs can be cut out of thicker fiber paper and used to fuse glass over it, creating relief patterns. Withstands temperatures up to 23 F. Does not contain asbestos. Kiln venting is necessary when using materials other than only glass in kiln. These refractory fiber papers transform to cristobulite, a form of crystalline silica which may cause lung injury when heated above 18 F. Use of an approved respiratory mask is recommended."
