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

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 wireKey advantagesKey limitationsTypical uses
301 stainless steel wireHighest strength, strong fatigue resistanceModerate corrosion resistanceHigh vibration, high tension
304 stainless steel wireBest overall cost performanceLower strength than 301General high-temperature use
316 stainless steel wireStrongest corrosion resistanceHighest costChemical, marine, corrosive environments
Copper wireConductive/thermally conductive, flexibleLower temperature resistance, oxidizes more easilyConductive / 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:

  1. Mechanical stress: choose stainless steel reinforcement for higher strength requirements.
  2. Handling and installation: choose copper wire reinforcement when you need a different balance of handling and strength.
  3. Environment: high airflow, abrasion, or vibration typically needs a stronger construction and better edge finishing.
  4. 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.

FAQ

Common questions about ceramic fiber cloth selection and use.

What does “1000°C continuous” mean in real use?
Continuous temperature refers to long-term operation under stable conditions. Peak temperature indicates short exposure. Actual performance depends on heat source, airflow, mechanical abrasion, and installation method. For direct flame or high-velocity gas, we recommend discussing the application to select the right grade.
Why does ceramic fiber cloth smoke during the first heat-up?
The textile contains organic carrier fibers (viscose or polyester). During initial heating these organics carbonize and may smoke or briefly flame. Polyester (PET) can produce more visible dark smoke, while viscose typically produces little smoke or light white smoke. This is normal and does not affect the ceramic fiber’s insulation performance after burn-off.
How do I choose reinforcement: stainless steel wire or copper wire?
We recommend stainless steel wire (301/304/316) or copper wire based on your environment and mechanical load. Stainless steel wire is preferred for higher strength requirements and fatigue resistance; 316 is preferred for corrosive environments. Copper wire is selected for conductive/EMC/grounding needs. Double-wire constructions are available when extra mechanical strength is required.
Can you provide aluminum-foil laminated ceramic fiber cloth?
Yes. We provide post-treatments including aluminum foil lamination (for radiant heat reflection and better weathering resistance), vermiculite coating (for abrasion resistance and reduced fiber shedding), and sintered/heat-set cloth (for dimensional stability and reduced powdering, at the expense of softness). Share your operating conditions and we will recommend the suitable construction.
Which post-treatment should I choose: foil, vermiculite, or sintered?
Foil lamination is typically chosen for radiant heat shielding and improved weathering resistance. Vermiculite coating is chosen for better abrasion resistance and reduced fiber shedding. Sintered/heat-set cloth is chosen for shape retention and improved anti-powdering performance, with reduced flexibility compared to untreated cloth.
What are the common applications for ceramic fiber cloth?
Typical uses include furnace curtains, removable insulation jackets, expansion joint covers, welding and heat shielding liners, high-temperature cable/pipe wrapping, and general fire protection barriers.
How is ceramic fiber cloth packaged and shipped?
Standard packaging is in rolls with protective wrapping. We can also provide cut lengths and custom packaging for container loading and warehouse handling requirements.
