Fiberfrax Bulk and Chopped Fibres

High-Performance Bulk Ceramic Fibre for Thermal Insulation, Sealing and Expansion Joint Applications

High-Performance Bulk Ceramic Fibre for Demanding Thermal Environments

Fiberfrax Bulk Fibre is a high-purity alumina-silicate ceramic fibre designed for thermal insulation applications where flexibility, low thermal conductivity and reliable high-temperature performance are essential. Suitable for continuous use at temperatures up to 1400°C, it provides effective thermal management across a wide range of industrial processes and equipment.

Manufactured from high-purity ceramic fibres, Fiberfrax Bulk Fibre offers excellent thermal stability, low heat storage and outstanding resistance to thermal shock. Its lightweight, adaptable structure makes it ideal for filling, packing and insulating irregular geometries where rigid insulation materials are impractical.

Resistant to oxidation, reduction and most corrosive atmospheres, Fiberfrax Bulk Fibre delivers dependable insulation performance in demanding operating environments. If exposed to moisture, its thermal and physical properties are fully restored once dried.

Why Choose Fiberfrax Bulk Fibre

Fiberfrax Bulk Fibre is a versatile high-temperature insulation material designed for applications requiring lightweight thermal insulation, expansion accommodation and reliable sealing performance. Its unique fibre structure provides excellent thermal efficiency while maintaining stability in demanding industrial environments.
