What Is Ceramic Fiber Bulk
Ceramic fiber bulk is a type of high performance insulation material, featuring light weight, high strength, oxidation resistance, low thermal conductivity, good flexibility, corrosion resistance, low heat capacity and soundproof.
Ceramic fiber bulk is made of high purity clay clinker, alumina powder, silica powder, chrome sand and other raw materials by melting them at high temperature in a industrial electric furnace. The molten liquid is blown or spun into ceramic fiber, then is processed into ceramic fiber bulk. Ceramic fiber bulk can be further processed into blanket, board, paper, cloth, and rope, etc..
It has excellent features such as low bio-resistance and heat storage, thermal stability and god resistance to tearing. This material is flexible and resilient, immune to thermal shock and has an excellent thermal insulating performance.
It is unaffected by incidental spills of oil or water and their thermal and physical properties are restored after drying. It is designed from raw material Calcium-Magnesium-Silicate (CMS) and can be altered to achieve a customer’s desired properties of fiber diameter, shot content, fiber length and form.
It also provides stability and resistance to chemical attack, however, exceptions include hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid and strong alkalies (i.e. NaOH, KOH).
It has white color and precious size. It is easy to cut and install.
Ceramic fiber bulk is ideally suited to individual applications and are available in chopped, un-chopped, lubricated, non-lubricated forms. The maximum continuous use temperature depends on the application.
The traditional applications of ceramic fiber bulk are expansion joints construction, base seals, low mass kiln car construction, tube seal fabrication, thermal and acoustical insulation and as primary raw material for high temperature converted and engineering fibers.
