Luyangwool ceramic fiber (the same as Kaowool ceramic fiber) is a kind of synthetic fiber which is made of small size filaments of high purity aluminosilicate material. It is also called "ceramic wool" or "refractory" because of its heatresistance performance. Luyangwool ceramic fibers are suitable for high temperature applications up to 2300℉. It has a variety of applications, including different ceramic fiber products, such as: flame retardant fabrics, light units for electrical, heat and sound insulation, high temperature filtration, protective blanket, etc.
Advantages and Benefits of Ceramic Fiber:
1. Low elongation rate
2. Low thermal conductivity
3. Low retraction rate
4. Excellent dielectric strength
5. Excellent chemical resistance
6. Light weight
7. Thermal stability
8. Application as fire protection
9. Excellent thermal insulating performance
10. High resistance to thermal shock
11. Low thermal conductivity
12. Low heat storage
13. Quick and simple installation
14. Removable insulating blankets
15. Capability of fabricate shaped refractories
16. Excellent sound absorption
17. High corrosion resistance
18. Resistant to most alkalines and acids
19. Chemical stability
20. A suitable replacement for asbestos
Applications of Luyangwool Ceramic Fiber:
Luyangwool ceramic fibers are basically used in two fields of application:
1. Thermal insulation material
2. Reinforcement of metals or ceramics.
Common Application of Luyangwool Ceramic Fiber:
1. high temperature resistant insulation seal and gasket
2. Thermal shield
3. Fire barrier
4. Fire Retardant Fabric
5. Protective blanket and wrapping
6. Expansion joint fabric and safety clothing.
7. Electrical insulation.
8. Composite reinforcement.
Special Uses of Ceramic Fiber:
· 1. Ceramic Fiber Protective Blanket: Luyangwool ceramic fiber is a multifunctional substance that can block high temperatures. Therefore, the protective blanket made of ceramic fiber can be directly exposed to the flame, so the luyangwool ceramic fiber blanket can be widely used in manufacturing, electric power, metallurgy, petrochemical and other industries.
· 2. Ceramic fiber fire retardant structure: Luyangwool ceramic fibers are often used in buildings to reduce fire accidents. Luyangwool ceramic fiber blanket is usually used for fire doors, furnace insulation, special heat-resistant containers, high-temperature pipes and so on.
· 3. Ceramic fiber Textiles: Cloth, belt and rope made of Luyang ceramic fiber and glass or stainless steel wire have certain strength. Therefore, luyangwool ceramic fiber textiles can be used to support, insulate and protect in various extreme thermal environments or in various heat-resistant structures.
· 4. Ceramic fiber paper: Paper made from luyang ceramic fibers is very suitable for insulation purposes. Today, it is widely used as a gasket to block high temperature. For example, luyangwool ceramic fiber paper is used as a bottom gasket for handmade glass ornaments.
· 5. Additive: Luyangwool ceramic fiber can be used as additive to improve the service temperature of products. Some products with luyang ceramic fibers as additives can be used in various heating machines and equipment, as well as some industrial structures that need heat resistance.
