PRODUCTS > CERAMIC FIBER BOARDS
WHAT ARE CERAMIC FIBER BOARDS?
Ceramic Fiber Boards are made from aluminum silicate which thrives in high-temperature settings that need more than insulation. These boards are better than ceramic fiber blankets when it comes to strength, supporting applications with steel-like durability needs.
Ceramic Fiber Boards offers low heat storage, great mechanical strength and workability as they can be cut, drilled, or sawed to taste. They are also highly adaptable. Because ceramic fiber boards allow for easy customization to versatile applications, they enjoy widespread use across industries facing the toughest heat challenges.

HOW CERAMIC FIBER BOARDS ARE MADE
Creating Ceramic Fiber Boards is a meticulous process that starts with high-quality aluminum silicate. This base material is engineered to form a dense, durable board through the following steps:
- Blending: Aluminum silicate fibers are carefully blended, ensuring uniform distribution for consistent quality throughout each board.
- Forming: The blended fibers are then formed into boards under high pressure, which compacts the material and gives it its distinctive strength and insulation properties.
- Curing: After forming, the boards undergo a curing process. This step enhances their mechanical strength and thermal resistance, preparing them for high-temperature applications.
- Cutting and Finishing: Finally, the cured boards are cut to standard sizes or custom dimensions as required, and any necessary finishing touches are applied to meet specific project needs.
