GENERAL
Ceramic fibre products are made from a melting of aluminium oxide and silica. The resultant fibres are white, cotton like in appearance and show a high thermal stability, low conductivity of heat and good chemical resistance.

As pure ceramic staple fibre cannot be processed to textile products, organic fibres are added as a spinning aid. The organic share of cloth, tapes and ropes is between 15% and 20%. These organic fibres will burn off on first thermal contact and will result in an ignition loss of up to 15%.
