How do ceramic fiber products differ from other insulation materials?

Ceramic fiber products differ from other insulation materials due to their unique properties. They are lightweight, have low thermal conductivity, and can withstand high temperatures, often up to 2000掳F (1093掳C). These fibers are made from inorganic materials like alumina-silica and are resistant to thermal shock. Unlike some other insulation materials, ceramic fibers are non-combustible and do not produce toxic fumes when exposed to high temperatures. They also have excellent chemical resistance and are not affected by most acids and alkalis. This makes them ideal for high-temperature applications and environments where other insulation materials may degrade or fail.
