What is RCF regulation? A basic guide from asbestos to RCF and then to AES.
We will explain the transition to the safe alternative AES (biodegradable fibers) and its background!
In November 2015, a significant regulation that overturned the conventional wisdom of high-temperature insulation in Japan's industrial sector was enacted. This is the "RCF Regulation (Revised Labor Safety and Health Act)." RCF (Refractory Ceramic Fiber), which once dominated as a substitute for asbestos, has become a legally regulated substance due to concerns about its carcinogenicity. As a result, the selection of sealing and insulation materials in high-temperature areas exceeding 1000°C now faces new challenges. This article will thoroughly explain the fundamental question of "What is the RCF Regulation?" as well as why RCF is regulated and why AES has been chosen as its alternative, while unraveling the history of insulation materials. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the PDF.
