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

Ceramic fiber cloth and ceramic fiber paper are both made from ceramic fibers but have different properties and applications. Ceramic fiber cloth is a woven material that offers higher tensile strength and flexibility, making it suitable for applications requiring flexibility and resistance to tearing, such as gaskets, seals, and insulation wraps. It can withstand higher temperatures and is often used in high-temperature environments. Ceramic fiber paper, on the other hand, is a non-woven material with lower tensile strength but good compressive strength. It is used for applications like thermal insulation, fireproofing, and as a backing material in various industries. It is more cost-effective and easier to cut and shape than cloth.
