Product Overview
Ceramic fiber cloth is a cost-effective industrial fabric woven from ceramic fiber yarn for high-temperature insulation and heat shielding, suitable for continuous service up to 1000°C. For higher mechanical strength, the cloth can be reinforced with stainless steel wire (301/304/316) or copper wire, including double-wire constructions. The textile contains organic carrier fibers (viscose or polyester), which burn off during first heat-up and may produce smoke; this is normal.
Key Benefits
- Excellent high-temperature resistance up to 1000°C
- Optional reinforcement: stainless steel wire (301/304/316) or copper wire
- Single-wire or double-wire reinforcement configurations available

Applications
Technical Specifications
Common specifications; final values depend on grade, reinforcement, and construction.
| Yarn composition | Aluminum silicate ceramic fiber yarn; formulation may vary by grade |
|---|---|
| Organic carrier fibers | Viscose fiber or polyester (burns off during first heat-up) |
| First heat-up smoke behavior | Polyester (PET) may produce more visible dark smoke; viscose typically produces little smoke or light white smoke |
| Reinforcement (optional) | Stainless steel wire (301/304/316) or copper wire |
| Reinforcement configuration | Single-wire or double-wire (e.g., dual stainless steel / dual copper wire) |
| Post-treatments (optional) | Aluminum foil laminated / Vermiculite coated / Sintered (heat-set) |
| Weave | Plain weave (common); other weaves available on request |
| Thickness / GSM | Available in multiple industrial grades; thickness and GSM depend on reinforcement and weave |
| Standard width | 1000 mm (custom widths available) |
| Roll length | Customizable (commonly supplied as rolls; cut lengths available) |
| Supply format | Roll (cut-to-size and stitched parts available on request) |
Specifications, Grades & Selection
Details for buyers: construction, options, typical dimensions, and selection tips.
Construction & reinforcement
Ceramic fiber cloth is woven from ceramic fiber yarn to create a flexible, fire-resistant textile for thermal insulation and heat shielding. To improve tensile strength and dimensional stability, the cloth can be reinforced with stainless steel wire (301/304/316) or copper wire, including double-wire constructions, depending on the mechanical and thermal demands of your application.
If you are replacing asbestos textiles, ceramic fiber cloth is often selected because it combines high-temperature resistance with good flexibility for wrapping, lining, and curtain applications.
Metal wire options (selection reference)
| Metal wire | Key advantages | Key limitations | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 301 stainless steel wire | Highest strength, strong fatigue resistance | Moderate corrosion resistance | High vibration, high tension |
| 304 stainless steel wire | Best overall cost performance | Lower strength than 301 | General high-temperature use |
| 316 stainless steel wire | Strongest corrosion resistance | Highest cost | Chemical, marine, corrosive environments |
| Copper wire | Conductive/thermally conductive, flexible | Lower temperature resistance, oxidizes more easily | Conductive / EMC / grounding applications |
Typical dimensions & options
We can supply multiple constructions for different insulation and protection needs. Common buyer options include:
- Reinforcement: stainless steel wire (301/304/316) or copper wire (single or double)
- Post-treatments: aluminum foil laminated / vermiculite coated / sintered (heat-set)
- Width: standard 1000 mm, custom widths available
- Supply format: roll, or cut-to-size on request
- Finishing: edge sealing / stitching for better durability in handling

Selection guide (quick)
When choosing a ceramic fiber cloth, buyers typically prioritize:
- Mechanical stress: choose stainless steel reinforcement for higher strength requirements.
- Handling and installation: choose copper wire reinforcement when you need a different balance of handling and strength.
- Environment: high airflow, abrasion, or vibration typically needs a stronger construction and better edge finishing.
- Thickness and weight: higher weight constructions generally provide better insulation and durability but may reduce flexibility.
Handling & installation notes
- Expect some smoke during first heat-up due to organic carrier fibers; ensure appropriate ventilation during commissioning.
- Avoid unnecessary tension and sharp bending at installation points to reduce yarn damage.
- For long-term service, design supports so the cloth is not the primary load-bearing component in high-vibration areas.
Quality, compliance & documentation
For industrial procurement, documentation can be as important as the material itself. Depending on the destination market and end-use, we can support typical buyer requirements such as:
- Material description and batch traceability information
- Basic inspection records for width/length and visual quality
- Compliance declarations when required by your project (please specify your target market and standards)
If your application needs specific test methods (for example, textile weight, thickness, or tensile strength at ambient conditions), share your internal specification so we can align production and inspection with your acceptance criteria.
RFQ checklist (to get an accurate quote fast)
When you request a quote or sample, the following information helps us recommend the right construction and reduce back-and-forth:
- Working temperature profile (continuous / peak) and heating method (radiant / convection / direct flame)
- Environment: airflow speed, vibration, abrasion, chemical exposure (if any)
- Dimensions: width, roll length, and any cut pieces
- Reinforcement preference: glass filament or stainless steel wire
- Estimated annual consumption and first-order quantity
If you need a quote, tell us your working temperature, dimension requirements (width/length), reinforcement preference, and application scenario. We can also provide samples for evaluation.
