What is a calcium silicate board?

A calcium silicate board is a rigid, asbestos-free insulation board made from calcium, silica and reinforcing fibres, manufactured to ASTM C533. It insulates to 650–1,200 °C while carrying load, with a thermal conductivity of about 0.060 W/m·K and compressive strength from 0.50 MPa. Unlike mineral wool, it is self-supporting: it needs no wire mesh on flat surfaces, holds its thickness under cladding and does not slump on vertical boiler walls.

It is non-combustible (Class A1), moisture and chemical resistant, dimensionally stable and machinable, which is why it is used both as furnace backing insulation and as a fire-door core. For the grade differences, see types of calcium silicate board.

Calcium silicate board price in India (2026–27)

Two prices are published live on our store and act as the reference points:

Industrial calcium silicate is sold by volume, not by sheet, because the same board area at twice the thickness is twice the material. Converted to the standard 900 × 600 mm board:

Board (900 × 600 mm)Volume per boardIndicative ₹ per boardIndicative US$ per board
25 mm0.0135 m³₹385–425$4.4–4.8
40 mm0.0216 m³₹615–680$7.0–7.7

100 mm0.0540 m³₹1,540–1,695$17.5–19.3

Indicative only, derived from the published ₹28,500/m³ rate for the 650 °C low-density grade. Ex-works, excluding GST and freight. Converted at ₹88 per US$. Higher-density and higher-temperature grades cost more per m³. By area, published Indian market ranges are ₹25–45 per sq ft for standard boards, ₹45–70 premium, ₹55–90 high-density and ₹60–100+ fire-rated. Full breakdown: calcium silicate board price in India.

Calcium silicate board FAQs

What is the price of calcium silicate board in India?

A 6 mm 2440 × 1220 mm board is ₹720 on our store, and the 650 °C industrial grade is ₹28,500 per m³. By area, Indian market rates run about ₹25–45 per sq ft for standard boards, ₹45–70 premium, ₹55–90 high-density and ₹60–100+ fire-rated, ex-works and excluding GST.

What temperature can calcium silicate board withstand?

Wedge grades cover 350 °C to 1,200 °C. The volume grade, CalSil650LD, is rated to 650 °C; W-LD900 and HD280 reach 900–1,000 °C; HSI1100 and HSI1200 wollastonite grades reach 1,100–1,200 °C.

What is the thermal conductivity of calcium silicate board?

CalSil650LD measures ≤0.060 W/m·K at 25 °C at 230 kg/m³, and ≤0.062 W/m·K at 250 kg/m³. At higher mean temperatures it rises: ≤0.056 at 200 °C, ≤0.0923 at 371 °C and ≤0.1002 W/m·K at 538 °C.

Is calcium silicate board fireproof and asbestos-free?

Yes. Wedge boards are inorganic, non-combustible and classified Class A1, and they contain no asbestos. High-density grades such as FP1000 are used as certified fire-door cores in designs referencing BS 476 Part 22, EN 1634-1 and IS 3614.

Calcium silicate board or mineral wool: which should I use?

Use calcium silicate where the insulation must carry load, hold its thickness under cladding or reach above 700 °C, such as furnace backing, pipe supports and fire-rated partitions. Mineral wool is cheaper per m² and fine where nothing bears on the insulation.

What sizes and thicknesses are available?

Standard boards are supplied in 25 mm and 50 mm thicknesses, with slabs from 30–100 mm thick, 100–600 mm long and 100–300 mm wide, to tolerances of ±2 mm on length and width and ±1.5 mm on thickness. Fire-door sheets come in 600 × 300 mm, 600 × 150 mm and 1000 × 500 mm. Cut-to-size and machined parts are made to drawing.

Can calcium silicate board be used with molten aluminium?

Yes, with the non-wetting grades: HD900, Z140, M1000 and C45 for ladles, launders and holding furnaces, and the graphite-reinforced W-CMA, W-C18 and WL101 grades for transition plates, tips and filter boxes.

Do you export calcium silicate board?

Yes. Wedge Industries Limited exports to 45+ countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the UK and the USA. We quote in USD for export orders, by pallet or full container.
