Thermal Ceramics has a complete line of refractory bulk fibres, each of which offers its own unique combination of properties. These bulk fibres are produced by varying composition, fibre length, compressed density, fibre content, fibre diameter, and lubricity to serve a wide range of customer needs. Thermal Ceramics bulk fibre offer a maximum temperature range of between 1260 - 1549°C (2300 - 3000°F).
