Applications //
The ceramic fiber blankets applications are numerous. They are used as furnace linings, boiler combustion chambers, heat exchangers, gas turbines, high temperature fan insulation, removable insulating pads on steam valves and separators. They are used as oven linings, superheated seals, stress relief pads, expansion joints packing and many more. Especially recommended for those applications requiring a low iron content of less than 1% and for highly reducing atmosphere.
