  • Ceramic Fiber Board

Ceramic Fiber boards are a vacuum-formed insulation which are available in various grades to meet a specific density and temperature requirements. These boards combine the lightweight, low thermal conductivity and thermal shock advantage of ceramic fiber with the high-tensile and compressive strengths of a rigid board. The rigid properties allow the board to be resistant to particulate and hot gas erosion along with most chemical attacks and abrasions

1 Temperature range (°F): up to 3200 melting point
2 Thickness 1/8" to 3"

3 Properties:
· Low thermal conductivity and heat storage
· Close thickness tolerances
· Excellent surface finish and uniformity
· Easily fabricated and die-cut
· Good resistance to chemical attack
· Different strength ranges in lightweight fiber form

4 Typical Applications:
· High temperature gaskets and seals
· Back up insulation to dense refractories, firebrick
· Expansion joint material
· Appliance and heat processing equipment insulation
· Combustion chamber construction
· General molten metal contact
· Trough linings for molten aluminum

  • Ceramic Fiber Modules

Ceramic Fiber Modules is a lining system designed for high temperature furnaces that require corrosion barriers on the shell. Such modules are held to the steel casing by stainless steel studs that are welded to the shell before a protective coating is applied.


1. Temperature range (°F): up to 3200 melting point

2. Thickness 3" to 12" in 1" increments

3. Dimensions: 12" x 12", 16" x 16" for more dimensions please contact us

4. Density, pcf: 3 to 15

5. Properties:
· Excellent resistance to chemical attack
· Unaffected by oil and water.
· Thermal and physical properties restored after drying
· High tensile strength
· Light weight insulation, low heat storage, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance
· Installs quickly and reliably over coated shells with or without vapor barrier
· Better resistance to mechanical abuse than conventional blanket systems

6. Typical Applications:
· All furnace linings requiring protective barrier against shell
· Process heaters
· Heat treating furnace
· Forge Furnace
· Incinerators
