Fibrous Refractories

 

 

Fibrous refractories or thermal insulation products consist of ceramic fibers in bulk, fiberboard, paper or rope forms. Fibrous refractory products have greater degree of flexibility and can be formed into configurations required for insulating furnaces, steam piping, or other process heating systems. The low density of the refractory fibers results in increased insulative properties. Refractories are hard, heat resistant materials and products such as alumina cement, fire clay, bricks, precast shapes, cement or monolithics, and ceramic kiln furniture. Ceramics and refractories have high melting points are suitable for applications requiring wear resistance, high temperature strength, electrical or thermal insulation or other specialized characteristics
