Paper: gaskets, thin thermal barriers, hot-face separators

Rope: furnace and kiln door seals, flange gaskets, expansion joint packing, cable/pipe penetration seals

Bulk wool: packing irregular voids, expansion joints, filling cavities behind brickwork

Petrochemical reformer furnace casing insulation

Steel ladle cover and torpedo car cover insulation

Product Overview

Ceramic fiber products are manufactured from aluminosilicate fibres produced by melting and fiberising a blend of Al₂O₃ and SiO₂. They offer extremely low thermal mass (enabling rapid furnace heat-up and cool-down), very low thermal conductivity, and good resistance to thermal shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ceramic fibre is a man-made silicate-alumina fibre with very low thermal conductivity (0.06–0.12 W/mK) and very low heat storage. It is used as a flexible furnace lining for energy savings of 30–50% versus dense brick. Standard forms are blanket, module, board and bulk. Service temperature classes range from 1260°C to 1430°C.
