Here are some key advantages of using ceramic fiber board insulation:
High temperature resistance
Can withstand continuous temperatures up to 2400°F/1315°C without degradation, making it suitable for very hot industrial applications.
Non-combustible
Ceramic fiber does not burn or contribute fuel to fires, maintaining integrity even in fire/explosions. Great for fire safety.
Low thermal conductivity
Exceptionally effective insulator with low “k-factor” that helps maintain temperatures on either side of material.
Lightweight
ceramic fiber boards are roughly 1/3 the weight of other high-temp insulation materials like calcium silicate, easier to install.
Dimensionally stable
Does not shrink, melt or drips at high temperatures like fiberglass, keeping rigid shape and R-value.
Cleanable/reusable
Durable material withstands cleaning and abrasion, can often be reused after maintenance which lowers long-term costs.
Low moisture absorption
Water or humidity does not degrade ceramic fiber boards like it does other insulations.
Thickness options
Available in standardized boards or custom cut in variety of densities/thicknesses for precise fitting.
Durability
Long service life of decades with proper installation and care, minimizes future replacement costs.
The high heat resistance and dimensional stability make ceramic fiber well suited for ovens, furnaces and demanding industrial heat applications.
