Advantages and disadvantages of ceramic fiber products and their main applications
From Date-04-16
Ceramic fiber is a light fiber refractories with light weight, high temperature resistance, good thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, low specific heat and mechanical vibration. Therefore, ceramic fiber products have been widely used in mechanical, metallurgical, chemical, petroleum, ceramic, glass, electronics and other industries.
Ceramic fiber products are made of ceramic fiber, and the series of ceramic fiber textiles produced by special textile technology and equipment have the characteristics of high tensile strength, stable outer size, anti vibration and impact resistance at high temperature. The temperature performance can be restored as early as the first. It is safe and reliable, energy-saving effect is remarkable, and it can also reduce maintenance and maintenance time and frequency. It is an ideal thermal insulation product in the industrial field at present. Ceramic fibers with ceramic fibers, such as thermal insulation bricks and pouring materials, are more widely used in China, which can save energy of 10-30%. The future is very promising.
The advantages of ceramic fiber products are light weight, good thermal insulation, good thermal stability, good chemical stability, easy processing and convenient construction. The disadvantage is that it is neither wear resistant nor collision resistant, can not resist erosion of high-speed airflow, and can not resist slag erosion.
The main uses of ceramic fiber products:
Door 1, ceramic fiber products applicable to all kinds of industrial furnace, furnace insulation sealing curtain.
2, high temperature flue, air duct bushing and expansion joint.
3, petrochemical equipment, containers, pipes, high temperature insulation, thermal insulation.
4, protective clothing, gloves, headgear, helmet, boots and so on under high temperature.
5, the heat shield of automobile engine, the package of heavy oil engine exhaust pipe and the compound brake friction pad of high speed racing car.
6, seals, fillers and gaskets for pumps, compressors and valves for high temperature liquids and gases.
7, ceramic fiber products can be used for high temperature electrical insulation.
8, fire doors, fire curtain, fire blanket, spark pad and insulation cover.
9, ceramic fiber products are suitable for thermal insulation, thermal insulation materials and brake friction gaskets for aerospace and aviation industry.
10, insulation and package of cryogenic equipment, containers and pipes.
11, ceramic fiber products can be used for insulation, fire compartment and fire automatic curtain for important places in high-grade office buildings, such as archives, vaults, and safety cabinets.
Supplied in rolls, ceramic fiber insulation blanket is highly formable, which makes it the perfect insulation for refractory machinery. It can fill voids, encapsulate machinery, and even be integrated into heating components.

Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Manufacturing Ceramic Blanket
Made primarily from high-temperature insulation wool produced from synthetic materials, ceramic fiber insulation can withstand temperatures that consistently exceed °C. The synthetic material is densified, treated, and machined prior to application.
Ceramic fiber insulation is created from high-quality refractory ceramic fibers made from alumina silicate. The process takes various combinations of pure aluminum oxide (AL2O3) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) and melts them in an industrial furnace.
Ceramic fiber blanket is made by needling spun ceramic fibers that are longer and wider than fibers made via the blowing process. These fibers give spun ceramic fiber blanket higher rupture strength and greater tensile strength.
The Advantages of Ceramic Fiber Insulation Blanket
Ceramic fiber insulation blanket is malleable, an attribute users can amplify by treating the insulation with inorganic bonding agents. They can pack it into plastic to preserve high moisture levels before application.
The material has superior heat-controlling properties, which is why it works so well as insulation. Additionally, it can be stored at low heat and is entirely resistant to thermal shock.

Typical Applications
The ceramic fiber insulation blanket is frequently used as an industrial insulation material in addition to its uses in heat processing applications and high-temperature insulation because it has low thermal conductivity.
Additionally, the blanket provides sound absorption, contains no asbestos, and can be repaired simply and quickly. No curing or drying is required to create ceramic fiber blanket insulation.
The blanket also finds use in the ceramics industry for kiln car insulation and seals. The steel industry also widely uses it for heat treatment, annealing furnaces, and furnace door linings and seals. It can also facilitate furnace hot face repairs and serve as a cover for reheating furnaces and ladles.
Ceramic fiber insulation is used in the refining and petrochemical industry as a reformer and pyrolysis lining and for tube seals, gaskets, and expansion joints. Other uses include high-temperature pipe, duct, and turbine insulation as well as in crude oil heater linings.
The insulation is often used for reusable turbine coverings in the power generation industry as well as in the insulation of commercial dryers and ovens.
