Description of Ceramic Fibres
Ceramic fibres are produced from pure aluminosilicate material by means of a controlled high-temperature process. These fibres have a low density and are designed for applications requiring a defined operating temperature and energy efficiency. Their measured properties indicate that Ceramic fibres can be used to replace conventionally employed refractory materials such as bricks.
Advantages of Ceramic Fibres
- Rapid temperature adjustment
- Reduced thermal retention
- Lower fuel costs
- Increased productivity due to improved insulation
- Reduced installation and maintenance costs
- Resistance to thermal shocks

Typical Applications of Ceramic Fibres
- Refractory linings for industrial furnaces in walls, roofs, doors and chimneys
- Linings for combustion chambers, boilers and heaters
- Supplementary insulation for masonry and monolithic refractory materials
- Transport of molten aluminium and other non-ferrous metals
- Expansion joint fillers for thermal insulation
- Barriers for flame and heat protection
- High-temperature surface layers for abrasive or high-velocity furnace atmospheres
