Ceramic Fibre Module -1260°C

VITCAS Ceramic Fibre Modules – High Temperature Insulation 1260°C

VITCAS Ceramic Fibre Modules are lightweight, high-temperature insulation blocks manufactured from compressed, folded refractory ceramic fibre blanket. With a temperature classification of 1260°C / 2300°F, they are designed for insulating industrial furnaces, kilns, boilers and other high-temperature equipment, helping reduce heat loss and improve thermal efficiency.

Their low thermal conductivity, low heat storage and excellent thermal shock resistance make them particularly suitable for industrial heating systems operating under demanding conditions, including equipment with frequent heating and cooling cycles.

Key Features and Benefits

• High Temperature Classification: Rated to 1260°C / 2300°F for suitable industrial insulation applications.
• Low Thermal Conductivity: Minimises heat transfer through furnace and kiln linings, supporting energy efficiency.
• Low Heat Storage: Reduces thermal mass, allowing faster heating and cooling compared with dense refractory materials.
• Thermal Shock Resistance: Flexible ceramic fibre structure accommodates rapid temperature changes.
• Lightweight Construction: Reduces lining weight and structural loading compared with conventional refractory brickwork.
• Compressed Modular Design: Suitable for forming continuous insulation linings in furnace walls and roofs.
• Versatile Industrial Use: Applicable across metal processing, ceramics, power generation and petrochemical industries.

Applications

• Industrial Furnaces: Thermal insulation for heat treatment, annealing and other high-temperature processing furnaces.
• Ceramic Kilns: Insulating walls and roofs in ceramic manufacturing and firing equipment.
• Steel and Metal Processing: Furnace linings, ladle preheaters and other suitable metal heating installations.
• Boilers and Power Generation: Insulation for boiler enclosures, high-temperature ducts and thermal processing systems.
• Petrochemical and Chemical Plants: Refractory insulation for compatible process heaters, furnace chambers and thermal equipment.
• Incinerators: Insulating linings for suitable waste treatment and thermal processing equipment.

Performance and Installation Considerations

Ceramic fibre modules are particularly beneficial where low heat loss, reduced thermal mass and resistance to temperature cycling are important. They are installed as part of a suitably designed refractory lining using compatible high-temperature anchoring systems. Module dimensions, arrangement and service conditions should be selected according to the application.

Please note: The 1260°C classification is not necessarily the maximum continuous service temperature. Suitability depends on operating conditions, furnace atmosphere and lining design. Follow the relevant technical data sheet and ceramic fibre handling precautions.
