It's generally used as a "stiffener" for Ka-wool or other ceramic fiber blanket forge liners. Personally, I thing that any ceramic fiber blanket should be coated with something to prevent airborne fibers, which are a very real health hazard.
I use ITC-100 because it not only stiffens, but gives the additional benefit of better insulation.

Comparing the two, ITC-100 will usually give you another 200-500F out of the same setup versus sairset.
