Ceramic Fibre Blanket: Properties and Applications
4 min read
Ceramic fibre blanket has become a default choice for high-temperature insulation because it combines low weight, low heat storage and easy installation. Here is what makes it useful and where it fits.
Key properties
- Very low heat storage, heats and cools quickly, saving energy on cyclic equipment
- Lightweight and flexible, wraps around complex shapes
- Good thermal-shock resistance
- Available in a range of densities and thicknesses
Common applications
- Furnace and kiln linings and back-up insulation
- Expansion joints and seals
- Wrapping of pipes, ducts and equipment
- Insulation upgrades to reduce fuel use
Blanket is chosen where flexibility matters; board is used where a rigid, self-supporting panel is needed; and paper suits thin gaskets and seals. Share your temperature, density and thickness needs and we will help you source the right form.
