What is a ceramic fiber fabric?

Ceramic fiber fabric is a high-performance, high-temperature resistant insulation material.  It is made from a blend of ceramic fibers and organic fibers, reinforced with glass or steel wires, and then spun and woven.  It possesses excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation, and corrosion resistance properties, and is widely used for insulation and fire protection in industrial furnaces, pipes, and equipment. Combining the high-temperature stability of ceramics with the flexibility of fibers, it is an ideal replacement for traditional asbestos fabric.
