MINEWOOL Ceramic Fiber Blanket

MINEWOOL Ceramic Fiber Blanket is a thermal insulation made from Alumino-Silicate fibers, melted and spun at high speeds into strong, durable fibers with excellent high-temperature resistance. It is ideal for lining furnaces, ovens, and heat pipes in heavy industries.

MINEWOOL Ceramic Fiber Blanket is available in 2 grades: Standard (1,260 ºC) and Zirconium (1,440 ºC).

 

 

🔍 Deep Dive into 2 Popular Grades: Choosing the Right One for Your Site

1. Standard Grade (1260°C)

• Max Service Temperature: 1260°C (Recommended continuous use up to 1050°C)
• Ideal for: General heating ovens, high-pressure steam pipe insulation, basic ceramic kilns, and fire protection.
• Highlights: Cost-effective and best value for applications where temperatures do not exceed 1,050°C.

2. Zirconium Grade (1440°C)

• Max Service Temperature: 1440°C (Recommended continuous use up to 1350°C)
• Special Composition: Infused with Zirconia fibers, providing superior resistance to corrosion and thermal shock.
• Ideal for: Metal melting furnaces, hazardous waste incinerators, glass furnaces, and petrochemical industries requiring extreme durability.

 

Applications

• Furnace Lining: Steel melting furnaces, annealing ovens, and ceramic kilns.
• Pipe Insulation: Steam pipes or hot air ducts in factories.
• Expansion Joints: Used as sealing material for furnace doors or wall joints.
• High-Temperature Filtration: Used in hot gas filtration systems.

 

Ceramic Fiber Blanket Standard Grade (1260°C)

If you are looking for cost-effective thermal insulation for furnace lining, pipe wrapping, or fire protection systems, the 1260°C Ceramic Fiber Blanket is the popular choice for most industrial plants.

✨ Highlights of the 1260°C Grade:

• Maximum Value: Provides excellent thermal insulation at an affordable price, ensuring a quick ROI through energy savings.
• Lightweight & Easy to Install: Tough, soft, and flexible fibers that can be easily cut and curved to fit furnace or pipe shapes.
• Low Thermal Conductivity: Maintains internal temperatures and prevents external structures from overheating.
• Chemical Resistance: Unaffected by oil or steam and possesses high chemical stability.

What applications is it suitable for?

• Heat treatment oven lining
• High-pressure steam pipes and hot air ducts
• Ceramic kilns and incinerators
• Gaskets or expansion joints in fire-resistant systems

Ceramic Fiber Blanket Zirconium Grade (1440°C)

For heavy industrial applications facing continuous extreme heat and corrosion, the 1440°C Ceramic Fiber Blanket (Zirconium Grade) is designed to exceed standard insulation limits by adding Zirconia to the ceramic fiber.

🚀 Why choose the 1440°C Grade?

• Extreme Heat Resistance: Can withstand peak temperatures up to 1440°C and lasts longer in continuous temperatures exceeding 1350°C.
• Very Low Shrinkage: Even at extreme temperatures, the insulation retains its shape, preventing thermal gaps.
• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: The Zirconium layer protects fibers from chemical corrosion and oxidation better than standard grades.
• Thermal Shock Resistance: Excellent resistance to sudden temperature changes without becoming brittle.

🛠️ What applications is it suitable for?

• High-temperature metal and glass melting furnaces
• Hazardous waste incinerators and chemical processing furnaces
• Petrochemical and oil refinery industries
• Furnace linings requiring extra-long service life to reduce maintenance cycles

💡 Selection Tips:

• If your normal operating temperature is 800 – 1,000°C, choosing the 1260°C grade will save you a significant budget.
• However, if operating temperatures exceed 1,100°C or involve rapid temperature changes, upgrading to the 1440°C grade is more cost-effective in the long run as the insulation won’t degrade quickly.
