Ceramic fiber modules

ceramic fiber module is a pre-fabricated refractory insulation product used in high-temperature industrial applications to line and insulate furnaces, kilns, and other equipment. These modules are constructed using ceramic fiber blanket or felt and are designed to simplify the installation of refractory linings in high-temperature environments.

Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Manufacturing Ceramic module

Modules can be manufactured in various densities, sizes, and temperature ratings. Standard grades are High Purity 2300℉ and Zirconia 2600℉, and are available in thicknesses ranging from 4-12 inches up to 24². Densities range from 8-12 lb/³ and extra high-temperature modules are available that are rated to 3000℉. Please contact us for a custom quote.
