Here are some common industrial applications for refractory ceramic fiber insulation:
Furnaces and ovens
Used to insulate the surfaces of industrial furnaces, kilns, incinerators that operate at high temperatures.
Boilers
Provides insulation for steam boilers, waste heat boilers, water boilers and other high-temperature equipment.
Piping and ductwork
Insulates high-temperature pipes that transport steam, hot oil or exhaust gases. Also wraps breeching and stack liners.
Iron and steel industry
Found at blast furnaces, soaking pits, annealing lehrs, melters, ladles and tundishes where insulation needs survive 1400°C.
Glass industry
Provides insulation for glass furnaces, forehearths, lehrs and forming machines encountering temperatures up to 1600°C.
Cement and non-ferrous metals
Used at kilns, rotary kilns, holding furnaces associated with cement, aluminum, copper manufacturing.
Waste incineration
Insulates combustion chambers, scrubbers and exhaust ducts at municipal and industrial waste incinerators.
Gas turbines
Wraps exhaust ducting and casings of stationary gas turbines in power generation and mechanical drive applications.
Automotive industry
Insulates exhaust headers, manifolds and turbocharger housings on engines, diesel particular filters.
Refractory ceramic fiber excels in high-heat industrial applications due its ability to withstand temperatures far above fiberglass and mineral wool alternatives.
