Ceramic fiber insulation products are manufactured from high-purity alumina-silicate fibers produced by melting and fiberizing a blend of alumina and silica. These products offer an outstanding combination of low thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance and light weight, making them the material of choice for industrial furnace and kiln insulation.
Our product range includes ceramic fiber cloth, tape and rope (textile products for sealing, wrapping and gasketing), ceramic fiber blanket (needled blanket for furnace linings and backup insulation), ceramic fiber board (rigid board for hot-face and structural insulation), and ceramic fiber paper (thin paper for gasketing, parting and electrical insulation). Each product form is available in multiple grades including standard (1260°C), high-alumina (1350°C), and zirconia-containing (1430°C) to suit different temperature requirements.
We supply ceramic fiber insulation products for overseas distributors, industrial buyers, furnace manufacturers, maintenance companies and OEM customers, with different grades, dimensions, densities and custom fabrication available according to specification.
Ceramic fiber insulation provides unmatched high-temperature performance, thermal efficiency and design flexibility for industrial furnace and kiln applications.
Ceramic fiber products withstand continuous service temperatures up to +1350°C and classification temperatures up to +1430°C, suitable for the most demanding furnace environments.
With thermal conductivity as low as 0.034 W/(m·K), ceramic fiber insulation significantly reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency compared to traditional refractories.
Ceramic fiber products resist rapid temperature changes without cracking or spalling, ideal for cyclic furnace operations.
Low density (64–500 kg/m³ depending on product) reduces structural steel requirements and enables faster installation.
Ceramic fiber is resistant to most chemicals except hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis, ensuring long service life in aggressive environments.
Suitable for industrial distributors, furnace manufacturers, OEM customers and bulk purchasing programs.

The correct product form, grade and dimensions should be selected based on operating temperature, application requirements, chemical environment and mechanical constraints.
Choose blanket or board for large-area furnace linings; cloth, tape or rope for sealing and wrapping; paper for thin gaskets and parting applications.
Standard grade (1260°C) for general use; high-alumina (1350°C) for higher temperature; zirconia-containing (1430°C) for the most demanding applications.
Higher density provides better mechanical strength and erosion resistance; lower density offers better thermal insulation. Thickness determines thermal resistance.
Glass filament reinforcement for up to +450°C; stainless steel wire reinforcement for up to +1000°C. Choose based on operating temperature and mechanical stress.
Consistent fiber chemistry, density control and dimensional accuracy are critical for reliable ceramic fiber insulation performance.
High-purity alumina and silica are melted and fiberized to produce ceramic fiber bulk, which forms the base material for all product forms.
Ceramic fiber bulk is processed into blankets (needling), boards (vacuum forming), paper (papermaking), or textiles (spinning, weaving, braiding).
Products are inspected for density, thickness, dimensional accuracy, thermal conductivity and classification temperature.
Products are packaged in rolls, sheets or cartons with protective wrapping for safe transport and storage.
