Lightweight Ceramic Fiber Needled Blanket For Flexible Duct Wrapping 1260C

Lightweight Structure Flexible Installation Ceramic Fiber Needled Blanket

This lightweight, flexible ceramic fiber needled blanket is built for hot-face and back-up insulation. Needle punching gives the blanket a high tensile strength, so it holds together well where linings see mechanical stress, while its low thermal mass means the lining stores little heat and furnace cycles are faster and cheaper. The blanket is inorganic and A1 non-combustible, and it resists thermal shock and vibration throughout its long service life.

The flexible installation suits pipes, vessels, furnaces and irregular shapes: the blanket is simply wrapped or layered and fixed in place, compressing neatly around joints and gaps. Low heat storage and low thermal conductivity together reduce heat loss and fuel use, and because the blanket is lightweight it is easy to handle and keeps structural loads down. This makes it a practical, all-round insulation for a wide range of high-temperature equipment.

Supply and Service

All our ceramic fiber products are manufactured from high-purity ceramic fiber and are supplied rolled, boxed or packed on pallets for easy handling, transport and storage; they should be stored indoors or under a waterproof covering. Every batch is checked for density, thermal conductivity and dimensional accuracy before dispatch. Our products are also available in additional densities, thicknesses, widths and facings, including aluminium foil facing for blankets, so please tell us your working temperature, atmosphere and fixing method and we will match the specification to your line. Samples and test reports are available on request for approval before ordering. If you would like a full technical data sheet, a free sample, the applicable test report or a project quotation, our engineering team is ready to help you select the right grade, thickness and finish for your furnace, kiln, boiler or high-temperature line. Tell us your working temperature and application and we will recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose a needled blanket?

A: Needle punching improves tensile strength, so the blanket holds together well and suits high-temperature areas that see mechanical stress.

Q: Is it flexible?

A: Yes. It wraps pipes, vessels and irregular shapes easily and compresses into joints and gaps.

Q: What is low thermal mass good for?

A: Low heat storage means faster heat-up and cool-down and less energy lost in the lining, which saves fuel.
