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.
Ceramic Fiber Blankets from Axim Mica are distinguished by a combination of key properties that empower their application in various high-temperature environments:
These blankets are designed to maintain structural integrity, even under the stress of high temperatures, ensuring durability and long service life.
Subject to extreme heat, they exhibit minimal shrinkage, preserving their dimensions and effectiveness as an insulating layer.
They can rapidly adjust to temperature fluctuations without degradation, making them suitable for environments with frequent thermal cycling.
This property ensures effective insulation, reducing heat transfer and enhancing energy efficiency in industrial processes.
Besides thermal management, ceramic fiber blankets also reduce operational noise, contributing to a safer and more comfortable work environment.
Their lightweight, fibrous structure allows for quick temperature adjustments without retaining excessive heat, facilitating process control.

The production of ceramic fiber blankets involves a series of intricate steps, ensuring the final product meets the high standards required for industrial applications. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
High-quality alumina-silica materials are chosen for their purity and ability to withstand high temperatures.
The raw materials are melted in a high-temperature furnace until they form a homogenous liquid.
The molten material is then spun into fibers using either a blowing or spinning process, creating fine, flexible fibers characteristic of ceramic fiber blankets.
These fibers are collected and layered to form a blanket of the desired thickness and density.
The layered fibers are then needled, entangling them to add strength and integrity to the blanket structure without the use of binders.
Finally, the blankets are cut to specific dimensions and packaged for shipping. Optional treatments, such as adding aluminum foil backing, may be applied based on specific application requirements.
Axim Mica offers a variety of ceramic fiber blankets designed to meet diverse application needs across different industries. The distinctions among these types largely focus on temperature ratings, density, and optional treatments, allowing for customized insulation solutions:

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.
