Ceramic Textiles

 

 

Ceramic textiles consist of ceramic fibers in bulk, fiberboard, paper or rope forms. Some fibrous ceramic products have an organic binder that burns off in the furnace during end-use application. Other products may include a ceramic or high- temperature binder that forms or remains after exposure to high temperatures. Loose or bulk fibrous ceramic textiles and other fibrous insulation products may not have any binders.

Ceramics are hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at high temperature. Ceramics usually fracture before plastic deformation occurs. Consequently, failure is usually catastrophic compared to that of metals; however, ceramics have very high compressive strength.
