Nextera Insulations sells ceramic blanket insulation that is a high-performance insulation solution intended for extreme heat situations, demonstrating thermal shock resistance and fireproofing solutions for industrial and commercial use.

Ceramic blanket insulation is manufactured with alumino-silicate fiber which makes it light weight, has low thermal conductivity, and has a great high temperature resistivity.

For furnaces, kilns, boilers, reactors, and equipment running at continual service temperature’s up to 1425ºC ceramic blanket insulation is the insulation material of choice. As such, ceramic blanket insulation is a very appropriate application particularly suited to high heat scenarios, especially where you had a desired product flexibility and fire resistance.

What is Ceramic Blanket Insulation?

Ceramic blanket is a flexible, needled, refractory-grade, spun ceramic fiber insulation. It comes in multiple thicknesses, densities, and temperature grade options, which allow the insulation to be cut, wrapped or layered on the surface, and install over flat and irregular shapes.

Ceramic blankets are not as rigid as insulation board, which provides flexibility over the surface being placed and does not compromise on its physical properties, tensile strength, thermal stability, and chemical inertness in oxidizing & reducing atmospheres.

Key Features

• High Temperature Resistance – Withstands up to 1260°C to 1425°C depending on grade
• Low Thermal Conductivity – Reduces heat transfer and energy consumption
• Fireproof and Flame-Resistant – Complies with international fire safety standards
• Thermal Shock Resistance – Excellent durability under rapid temperature changes
• Low Heat Storage – Allows faster heat-up and cooldown cycles
• Chemical Stability – Resists attack from most corrosive gases, vapors, and liquids
• Lightweight and Flexible – Easy to handle, cut, wrap, and install
• Non-Asbestos – Environmentally safe and free of hazardous fibers

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ceramic blanket insulation made of?

Ceramic blanket insulation is manufactured from alumino-silicate fiber, giving it excellent high-temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, and flexibility. It is completely asbestos-free, lightweight, and designed to withstand extreme industrial heat environments.

2. How much heat can ceramic blanket insulation withstand?

Depending on the grade, ceramic blanket insulation can handle continuous service temperatures between 1260°C and 1425°C. This makes it suitable for furnaces, kilns, boilers, reactors, and other high-temperature industrial applications.

3. Is ceramic blanket insulation fireproof?

Yes. Ceramic blankets are non-combustible, fireproof, and flame-resistant. They meet international fire safety standards and are widely used as both primary and back-up insulation in high-risk heat applications.

4. Where is ceramic blanket insulation commonly used?

It is commonly used in furnace linings, kilns, boilers, gas turbines, duct linings, pipe insulation, expansion joints, and as back-up insulation behind refractory linings. Its flexibility allows it to be wrapped, layered, or cut to fit complex shapes.

5. What are the main advantages of using ceramic blanket insulation over other insulation types?

Ceramic blankets offer high temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, chemical stability, and low heat storage. Unlike rigid boards, they are lightweight and flexible, making them easy to install while maintaining excellent strength and performance.
