What is Ceramic Fiber Blanket
Ceramic Fiber Blanket, also known as aluminum silicate fiber blanket, is a kind of white high temperature insulation material that mainly consists of Al2O3 and SiO2. It has great insulating performance and stability both in high and low temperature, thus is widely used in insulating pipelines.
Ceramic fiber blanket is made of binders, additives and ceramic fiber by pulping, vacuum forming, drying and curing.
Ceramic Fiber Blanket can be divided into two types: blown ceramic fiber blanket and spun ceramic fiber blanket. It is made of special aluminum silicate ceramic fiber by double sides mechanically needling. Double sides mechanically needling can improve its interleaving degree, delamination resistance, strength and surface integrity.
Spun ceramic fiber blanket has better insulating performance better than blown ceramic fiber blanket because it has longer fiber and lower thermal conductivity.
It does not contain any organic binding agent, in order to ensure that it has good stability in both high and low temperature conditions.
It has excellent resistance to tensile stress and can resist temperature range 950-1400℃. It has good thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used acid and alkali and can maintain good tensile strength, toughness and fiber structure for a long time. It is flexible and easy to cut or install.
In general, ceramic fiber blanket has a density of 128 kg/m3, which is the most common ceramic fiber blanket and has the largest demand on the market. The highest density is 160kg/m3. It is rarely on the market and needs to customize. There are also 64 kg/m3 and 96 kg/m3 ceramic fiber blankets.
When installing, ceramic fiber blanket should be cut with straightedge and sharp knives. Do not tear, trample and roll forcefully. Avoid ingress of rainwater.
Ceramic Fiber Blanket is used as high temperature insulation materials in spaceflight, steel and Petrifaction industry. It is widely used in military equipment, furnaces, kilns, generators, reformers, boilers, nuclear and power plants and other high temperature equipment.
