Ceramic Fiber Textiles
Ceramic Fiber Cloth
Code prefix CC
Ceramic fiber cloth, also called aluminosilicate fiber cloth, is woven from ceramic fiber yarn spun from alumina-silica staple. Glass filament reinforcement gives 650 C continuous service, stainless steel reinforcement gives 1000 C, and both take a 1260 C short excursion. The cloth resists splash from molten aluminium and zinc and can be heat cleaned to burn out the organic sizing before it goes into a clean process.

01 — Product description
Product description
Ceramic fiber cloth, also called aluminosilicate fiber cloth, is made from ceramic fiber as the main raw material through spinning and weaving. Glass fiber or heat-resistant stainless steel wire can be added as reinforcement according to the working temperature and working conditions. Glass fiber reinforced cloth has a continuous use temperature of 650°C and stainless steel wire reinforced cloth 1000°C, with a short-term tolerance temperature of up to 1260°C. The product resists splash erosion from molten aluminium and zinc, and can be sintered to remove its internal organic content.

Working condition suitability and restrictions
Different reinforcement materials of this product correspond to different use temperatures. 1260°C is only the short-term tolerance temperature; long-term over-temperature operation is prohibited. The product can only withstand short-term splashing of molten aluminum and zinc, and cannot withstand continuous erosion or immersion by molten metal.
Usage precautions
- Cutting, processing, and installation of ceramic fiber material generate fiber dust. Maintain ventilation during operation, wear dust-proof protective equipment, and dispose of waste in accordance with local environmental regulations.
- The product contains a small amount of organic fiber. Initial high-temperature use may produce carbonization and smoking, which is a normal process characteristic and does not affect product performance.
- Use temperature should be matched according to reinforcement material. Over-temperature and over-working-condition use are strictly prohibited.
- During use, regularly inspect product condition. In case of powdering, damage, shrinkage, or failure, replace promptly.
- All technical data are for reference only. Actual performance depends on usage conditions. Users should conduct their own suitability testing and comply with relevant safety regulations and standards.
02 — Characteristics
Two reinforcement classes
Glass filament holds the cloth together and keeps it dielectric; SUS304 wire carries far higher tensile load but conducts and corrodes in wet chloride service.
Plain or twill
Plain weave is firm and balanced for gaskets and wrapped pipework; twill puts more yarn on the face for covers and joints that have to drape.
Heat cleaned on request
Sintering removes the organic sizing so the cloth releases less smoke on first heat, at the cost of some flexibility at the fold line.
Molten metal splash
The fiber chemistry resists splash contact from aluminium and zinc, which is why the cloth appears on foundry curtains and die-cast guards.
