AL9701 Inorganic Ceramic Fiber Board

Inorganic Ceramic Fiber Board Description

Inorganic Ceramic Fiber Board consists primarily of Al2O3 and SiO2, forming a composite with a board configuration. The material benefits from excellent thermal resistance and chemical inertness, making it suitable for applications requiring minimal thermal expansion. Its engineered microstructure minimises porosity and enhances structural integrity, which is important for maintaining performance under cyclic thermal stress. These technical attributes aid in serving as an effective barrier against heat and corrosion in industrial processing systems.

Inorganic Ceramic Fiber Board Applications

1.       Industrial Processing
   - Used as an insulating barrier in high-temperature furnaces to maintain consistent thermal conditions by leveraging its controlled thermal expansion properties.
   - Applied as a lining component in chemical reactors to protect against corrosive substances, reducing maintenance downtime through chemical resistance.

2.       Electronics and Equipment Enclosures
   - Employed as a structural support in electronic enclosures to minimise heat transfer, ensuring operational stability through its thermal insulation properties.
   - Serves as a substrate for high-temperature circuit boards to facilitate heat dissipation, improving performance by maintaining controlled ambient conditions.

Inorganic Ceramic Fiber Board Packing

The board is packaged using a combination of anti-static wrapping and shock-absorbent foam, designed to protect against mechanical impacts and environmental contaminants. Storage guidelines call for a cool, dry environment free from excessive humidity to prevent material degradation. Packaging can be tailored with additional moisture barriers and custom dimensions to accommodate specific handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
