Insulating modern industrial equipment and piping from extremely high temperatures requires specialized non-combustible materials. Ceramic fiber board provides an effective solution for applications exceeding 1000°C. In particular, 1260C ceramic fiber board delivers superior thermal insulation along with resistance to heat, flames, and thermal shock. Below we examine the composition, properties, benefits, and typical usage of 1260°C insulation ceramic fiber board.

What is Ceramic Fiber Board?

Ceramic fiber board consists of alumina-silica fibers formed into a lightweight fibrous mass. Also called ceramic fiber blanket or module, this material can insulate surfaces up to 1400°C. The fibers bond using organic binders or inorganic cements into a semi-rigid board. Ceramic fiber board contains about 20% organic content. It comes in a range of densities from 64 to 256 kg/m3. Lower density boards work better in layered systems while higher densities apply to rigid structures.

1260°C Ceramic Fiber Board Overview

Ceramic fiber board rated for a maximum service temperature of 1260°C provides effective insulation for extremely high temperature equipment. With proper installation, 1260°C ceramic fiber board can endure continuous operating temperatures of 1100°C. It maintains integrity and insulating properties in environments reaching peaks of 1260°C. This high grade board contains closely controlled fiber forming and curing procedures. Maintaining sufficient density gives the board enhanced durability and handling capability.
