Ceramic Fiber Blanket

Ceramic fiber blankets are flexible, high-temperature insulation materials designed to provide exceptional thermal protection in a variety of industrial applications. Made from high-purity alumina-silica fibers, these blankets offer excellent heat resistance, low thermal conductivity, and outstanding durability. Ceramic fiber blankets are widely used in industries such as metallurgy, ceramics, petrochemicals, and power generation, where they play a critical role in insulating furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature equipment.

What is a Ceramic Fiber Blanket?

A ceramic fiber blanket is a lightweight, flexible insulation product made from high-purity alumina and silica fibers. These blankets are available in various thicknesses and densities, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. They are highly resistant to thermal shock, chemical attack, and mechanical stress, ensuring reliable performance in extreme environments.

​

  • Composition: Typically composed of 47% alumina and 53% silica, with options available for higher purity levels and different fiber compositions.

  • Temperature Rating: Can withstand temperatures up to 2600°F (1425°C), depending on the specific product grade.
