Introduction to Ceramic Fiber Board
Ceramic fiber board is a rigid, high-temperature insulation material made from aluminum silicate ceramic fibers. It is manufactured through a wet forming process and vacuum forming, resulting in a lightweight, durable board with low thermal conductivity.
This material is widely used in industries that require excellent heat resistance, thermal stability, and minimal shrinkage under high temperatures.
Main Features
- High Temperature Resistance – Operates continuously at temperatures up to 1260°C (2300°F) and can withstand short-term exposure to even higher temperatures.
- Low Thermal Conductivity – Provides excellent insulation, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.
- Chemical Stability – Resistant to most chemicals except strong acids and bases.
- Low Heat Storage – Helps in quick furnace heating and cooling cycles.
- Easy to Cut and Install – Can be machined or shaped into required dimensions without compromising strength.
Typical Uses
Ceramic fiber boards are widely used in high-temperature industrial environments, including:
- Furnace and kiln linings
- Heat shields and baffles
- Back-up insulation for refractory bricks
- Thermal barriers in industrial equipment
- Fire protection panels
- Boiler and combustion chamber insulation
Benefits Compared to Traditional Materials
Compared with conventional refractory bricks or castables, ceramic fiber board offers:
- Lightweight Design – Easier handling and installation.
- Better Insulation Performance – Reduces energy consumption.
- Longer Service Life – High resistance to thermal shock.
- Cost Savings – Lower maintenance and operational costs.
How to Choose the Right Board
When selecting a ceramic fiber board for your application, consider:
- Operating temperature range
- Board density (commonly 260–400 kg/m³)
- Mechanical strength
- Environmental conditions (exposure to moisture or chemicals)
- Dimensional stability under heat cycles
Care and Storage
- Store in a dry, covered environment to avoid moisture absorption.
- Avoid mechanical impacts to prevent cracking.
- Inspect regularly for wear and replace damaged sections promptly.
