What are the differences between ceramic fiber board and ceramic fiber cloth?

Ceramic fiber board and ceramic fiber cloth are both made from ceramic fibers but differ in form and application. Ceramic fiber board is a rigid, flat material that is typically used for insulation in high-temperature environments, such as furnaces and kilns. It offers excellent thermal insulation and resistance to thermal shock. Ceramic fiber cloth, on the other hand, is a flexible material that can be draped or wrapped around objects for insulation. It is often used in applications requiring flexibility and ease of installation, such as pipe insulation or as a thermal barrier in industrial settings. The board is more suitable for structural insulation, while the cloth offers versatility for various shapes and sizes.
