The Diardi® X-Mat 2300 is a high performance intumescent mat which is mainly used in automotive catalytic converter support mount systems. The mat is made of carefully selected ceramic fibers cohered by organic binder. Its excellent honeycomb fiber structure provides reliable support for applications at low temperature. When the temperature is above 400°C (750°F), the vermiculite will expand and the thickness of the mat increases gradually.
