Johns Manville manufactures two products that could be considered in this type of application. These two products are either fiber glass or isocyanurate foam. The glass fibers will not soften until heated above 1000°F, but the binder used to bond the fibers is organic. This organic binder begins to break down at 350°F. Facings have a temperature limit of 250°F.
