Noted for their high temperature resistance ( can withstand over 1000 °C), ceramic fiber textiles display excellent properties of lightweight, low thermal conductivity and chemical stability (they can resist attacks from most chemical corrosive agents). Ceramic fibers are today widely used in thermal insulation industry. Fabrics are made of ceramic fibres using ceramic woven yarns with fiberglass yarn or steel wire reinforcement.

 

This page at Nextiles presents inputs and web resources for this interesting textile fiber.

 

Synonyms for ceramic fibre: ceramic fiber, fibre ceramic, mineral wool, [synthetic mineral fibre]

Watlow Ceramic Fiber Heater: The ceramic fiber heater product line offers some of the highest temperature heating element  capabilities in the Watlow family of heaters. Ceramic fiber heaters are made by integrating  an iron-chrome-aluminum (ICA) heating element and ceramic fiber insulation for a new concept in heated insulation. Heating units constructed of ceramic fiber insulation isolate the heating chamber from the outside. Ceramic fiber heaters are extremely low mass, high insulation value units with self-supported heating elements. Know more about ceramic fiber insulation heaters from Watlow. (PDF file)

TaoFibre® Ceramic Fiber Textiles - TaoFibre® textile family includes ceramic fiber ropes, braids, cloth, tapes, and sleeving. TaoFibre® ceramic fiber textiles are made from alumina-silica ceramic fiber, free of asbestos. These ceramic fiber textile materials can be used in different industrial applications under temperatures up to 2300 °F (1260 °C) and have excellent chemical stability and strong resistance to thermal shock and corrosion attack. More info from this InterSource USA web page

 

Fiberfrax alumino-silicate refractory ceramic fibers from Unifrax Corp. are recommended for continuous use at temperatures up to 1430°C (2600°F). These products are characterized by, low thermal conductivity, low heat storage, excellent thermal shock resistance, light weight, and superior corrosion resistance. The excellent thermal stability, and the low-density form of Fiberfrax products, make them ideal for a wide range of high temperature insulation applications. Fiberfrax insulation is widely applied in power generation, industrial chemical processing, petroleum refining, and various other industries including aerospace, appliance, automotive, ferrous & non-ferrous metals, ceramic, glass, and fire protection.
