CERAMIC FIBER BASIC INFORMATION

01

Overview

Ceramic fiber is one of the fiber families with high temperature resistance. It has a wide range of applications in industrial and commercial areas. It is manufactured from alumina-silica material. The fibers are mechanically twisted to increase tensile strength. The fabric is reinforced with e-glass fiberglass, stainless steel, or high alloy steel wire, according to the intended use. Ceramic fiber is chemically an inert material.

Can be used up to a temperature of 1260 °C.
