Eco-Friendliness & Energy Efficiency
The protection of the environment, people, and processes against high temperatures requires highly durable and consistent materials implemented in optimally integrated systems. To maintain the thermal resistance of linings, both full and partial configurations utilize refractory insulation and sealing materials supplied in various shapes, consistencies, volumes, and modules, covering a broad range of thermal resistance demands in high-energy industrial processes. The goal of refractory insulation systems is to optimize energy consumption, reduce emissions, and lower operational costs.

Our blankets are manufactured using blown and spun technologies. The Thermal Ceramics blankets are air-laid into a continuous mat and mechanically needled for enhanced strength and surface integrity. This process creates a cohesive fiber matrix without the use of chemical binders.
One of the most versatile and widely used refractory insulation products, ceramic fiber blankets offer exceptional thermal insulation properties while being available in a range of densities and thicknesses, making them suitable for diverse industrial environments.
Chemically stable fibers, low weight, and high insulating capabilities make refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) blankets extremely durable, stable, and highly adaptable for various high-temperature applications. The Cerablanket range provides thermal resistance up to 1260°C, while Cerachemblanket withstands up to 1430°C.
LBP fiber blankets are designed to deliver enhanced thermal performance at high temperatures, providing an alternative to ceramic fiber blankets where feasible.
