What Is a Ceramic Blanket?
A ceramic blanket is a cloth-like material woven with ceramic fibers.
Ceramic fibers maintain strength even at high temperatures and can suppress degradation caused by heat. Additionally, they exhibit low thermal conductivity, serving as effective insulation material. Ceramic blankets find applications in various fields such as industrial furnaces, kilns, and construction. In industrial furnaces, they are laid inside the furnace or on its walls to block heat, while in kilns, they are used in firing ovens to evenly distribute heat. In construction, they are used as insulation material in wall cavities and behind roofs.
The mechanism of ceramic blankets primarily consists of two elements: ceramic fiber and an adhesive. Ceramic fiber is produced by melting ceramic powder into fibrous form, ensuring strength even at high temperatures.
