Vacuum-Formed Ceramic Fiber

What Are the Characteristics of Vacuum-Formed Ceramic Fibers?

Vacuum-formed ceramic fibers have valuable characteristics such as:

• Thermal shock resistance
• High tensile strength
• Simple to cut and install
• Low thermal conductivity and capacity
• High chemical and thermal stability
• Toughness and a high degree of crush strength
• Good properties for insulation

Ceramic Fiber Applications

Vacuum-formed ceramic fiber is an excellent solution for the following:

• Creating a thermometer or observation hole in an industrial kiln
• As heat insulation
• Producing high-temperature furnace doors
• Supporting electric elements in laboratory furnaces
• For launders or headboxes in the aluminum industry
• As burner bricks for industrial furnaces
• As insulation against thermal radiation heat in commercial or industrial heaters
• For insulation pipes and shapes

One example of an industrial application or problem vacuum-formed ceramic fibers can solve is assisting with managing extremely high process temperatures. In applications with parts operating between 1,600 degrees F and 2,800 degrees F, refractory ceramic fiber is an ideal heat management solution. Elements that can work at this temperature include ductwork, flues and stacks on incinerators or kilns.
