What Are Ceramic Fiber Blankets?

Ceramic fiber blankets are soft, refractory materials made from interwoven fibers that provide exceptional strength and high-temperature resistance. These fireproof ceramic fiber blankets are designed with different chemical compositions, thicknesses, densities and other elements. As a result, ceramic fiber blankets vary in their applications and the temperature range they can withstand.

Despite the variations in their makeup, all these ceramic materials are lightweight and robust, with low thermal conductivity and high resistance to thermal shock. They are also fire-resistant, providing added protection against potential fires.

What Are Ceramic Fiber Blankets Used For?

Ceramic fiber blankets offer the perfect combination of thermal resistance, low thermal conductivity and exceptional durability. These properties make the material ideal for high-temperature and insulation applications, including:

• Boiler insulation: Ceramic fiber blankets are an excellent choice for insulating boilers. The high-temperature thermal insulation keeps boilers hot by preventing heat loss and maintaining the proper temperature for efficiency. Plus, the ceramic blankets help ensure the safety of operating personnel in the vicinity.
• Commercial dryer insulation: Insulating commercial dryers with ceramic fiber blankets can minimize heat loss and improve energy efficiency. The insulation retains the heat generated within the dryer and decreases the energy needed to maintain the optimal temperature.
• Expansion joints: High-temperature ceramic fiber blankets can be used to create seals in expansion joints. The material provides thermal insulation during expansion and contraction, preventing damage to the structure.
• Gaskets and tube seals: A ceramic fiber blanket is flexible and heat resistant, making it perfect for creating gaskets and tube seals for high-temperature applications. These gaskets and tube seals insulate and seal equipment used in refractory environments and petrochemical plants.
• Duct and pipe insulation: These lightweight thermal blankets are ideal for insulating ductwork and pipes. They can be easily installed around the equipment to maintain temperature consistency, prevent heat transfer and absorb excess operational noises. The material also acts as a protective layer over the surface.
