Ceramic Fiber Blanket
A ceramic fiber blanket, also known as refractory blanket or insulation blanket, is a type of lightweight, high-temperature insulation material used in various applications, including wood fire ovens, bbqs, furnaces, kilns, boilers, and other thermal equipment. Here's more information about ceramic fiber blankets:
1. Composition: Ceramic fiber blankets are made from ceramic fibers derived from alumina-silica, zirconia, or other refractory materials. These fibers are spun or needled into a flexible blanket form, creating a lightweight and highly insulating material.
2. High Temperature Resistance: Ceramic fiber blankets are designed to withstand extremely high temperatures, typically ranging from 1,200°C to 1,600°C (2,192°F to 2,912°F), making them suitable for use in applications where conventional insulation materials would fail.
3. Low Thermal Conductivity: The unique structure of ceramic fiber blankets provides excellent thermal insulation properties, minimizing heat transfer and reducing energy consumption in thermal processes.
4. Flexibility: Ceramic fiber blankets are highly flexible and conformable, allowing them to be easily cut, wrapped, or formed to fit complex shapes and contours in industrial equipment.
5. Low Heat Storage: Ceramic fiber blankets have low heat storage capacity, meaning they heat up and cool down quickly, resulting in faster startup times and improved thermal efficiency in heating processes.
6. Chemical Resistance: Ceramic fiber blankets are resistant to most chemicals, acids, and alkalis, making them suitable for use in corrosive environments.
7. Non-combustible: Ceramic fiber blankets are non-combustible and do not emit smoke or toxic fumes when exposed to high temperatures, enhancing safety in different applications.
8. Easy Installation: Ceramic fiber blankets are lightweight and easy to handle, making them quick and convenient to install or replace in any equipment.
9. Variety of Grades: Ceramic fiber blankets are available in various grades with different densities, thicknesses, and temperature ratings to suit specific application requirements. We supply our ceramic fiber blankets in two sizes, 7200x610x25mm or 3600x610x50mm.
10. Applications: Ceramic fiber blankets are used for thermal insulation and heat containment in a wide range of domestic or industrial processes, including insulation on a wood fire oven, bbqs, fireplaces, heat treating, forging, glass melting, power generation, and petrochemical refining.
Overall, ceramic fiber blankets offer excellent thermal insulation performance, durability, and versatility, making them an essential component in many high-temperature industrial applications.
Tip: When installing a ceramic fiber blanket use PPE like mask, glasses and gloves because the fibers tend to cause itching.
