Abstract

See full text

A method for producing an exhaust gas aftertreatment or acoustic device (20) having a maximum operating temperature TMAX. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a blanket (40) of silica fiber insulation material having a weight percentage of SiO2 greater than 65%; (b) calcining the insulating material by heating the blanket (40) so that all of silica fiber insulation material is raised to a temperature T greater than TMAX (where T is less than the melting temperature of the silica fibers of the blanket); and (c) securing the blanket (40) on the device (20) after the calcining step. The blanket is encapsulated in a covering (50) prior to the calcining step whereby the blanket is batting in the covering, with the covering between the blanket and the device being a selected one of wire mesh or siliconized fiber glass.
