PRODUCTS > CERAMIC FIBER BLANKETS
WHAT ARE CERAMIC FIBER BLANKETS?
Ceramic fiber blankets are specialized insulation materials designed to perform under extreme heat conditions. Manufactured from high-strength spun ceramic fibers, these blankets offer a balance of performance features unattainable by traditional insulation materials. They possess a remarkable ability to withstand thermal shock, a critical attribute for applications experiencing rapid temperature fluctuations.
Additionally, their innate high tensile strength ensures they maintain integrity and dimensional stability after repeated heating cycles, resisting shrinkage effectively. Notably, these blankets also exhibit low thermal conductivity, enhancing their ability to insulate while minimizing heat storage for efficient energy use. Lastly, their capability to absorb sound contributes an additional layer of utility, providing a quieter operational environment in industrial settings.
APPLICATIONS
Axim’s ceramic fiber blanket has high tensile strength and low shrinkage. It has great resiliency with low heat storage. This product has low thermal conductivity and great resistance to thermal shock as well as great sound absorption.
Ceramic fiber blankets are used in a broad range of applications such as:
Industrial Processing
Protects equipment from heat and reduces energy loss in furnaces, kilns, and incinerators.
Energy Systems
Insulates turbines and reactors to boost efficiency and prevent heat damage.
Thermal Protection
Keeps pipes and joints sealed and insulated in high-heat industrial systems.
Ceramic fiber blankets deliver essential insulation across demanding industries. They help retain heat and improve efficiency in metal processing by lining furnaces, kilns, and casting molds. In power generation and petrochemical plants, they insulate turbines, reformers, and steam generators to protect critical equipment. Their thermal stability also ensures safe operation in nuclear reactors and thermal energy systems.
Thanks to their flexibility and durability, they’re perfect for sealing pipes, joints, and gaskets exposed to extreme heat. From glass manufacturing to waste incineration, ceramic fiber blankets provide reliable thermal control and equipment protection where performance is critical.

FAQs
Ceramic fiber blankets are utilized for high-temperature insulation in industries like aerospace, metalworking, and ceramics, providing thermal efficiency and protection.
While the initial cost might be higher than some traditional insulation materials, ceramic fiber blankets offer superior performance and durability, making them cost-effective for long-term applications.
Ceramic fiber blankets can absorb moisture. If wet, their insulation properties might temporarily decrease until fully dried out, without long-term damage to the material.
Direct washing is not recommended as it can alter the physical structure. If cleaning is necessary, gently remove surface contaminants without saturating the blanket.
