  • Industry

In high-temperature industrial systems — whether in steel reheating furnaces, aluminum melting furnaces, or kiln sealing structures — insulation materials must not only block heat transfer but also deliver reliable fire-resistance to ensure long-term operation above 1000 °C without burning, melting, or degrading. A refractory fiber blanket is specifically engineered for this purpose, and its fireproof capability comes from both intrinsic materials and process engineering.

High-purity raw materials — fire safety begins at the source

CCEWOOL® refractory fiber blanket is manufactured using high-purity alumina and silica, with total impurity content strictly controlled below 1%. These high-melting-point oxides ensure that the fiber does not burn or melt even under 1260–1430 °C operating conditions — achieving intrinsic non-combustibility and meeting EN13501-1 A1 fire-rating standards.

Precision fiberizing — builds a true thermal barrier

After electric-furnace melting, the material is fiberized through a high-speed centrifugal process, controlling fiber diameter within 2–4 microns. This creates a uniform, continuous, and extra-fluffy structure that delivers ultra-low thermal conductivity and strong resistance to thermal shock, effectively slowing heat transfer and achieving genuine heat-blocking fire protection.

Double-sided needling — ensures no cracking, no delamination

CCEWOOL® applies advanced double-sided needling to mechanically interlock fibers into a three-dimensional reinforced network. As a result, the blanket maintains structural stability even under high-temperature airflow erosion or equipment vibration — ensuring its fire-insulation performance remains consistently intact over years of operation.

Intelligent defect detection — guarantees consistent fire safety

Our proprietary “Fiber Micro-Defect Detection System Based on Image Recognition Technology V1.0” enables real-time identification of microscopic impurities and structural abnormalities during production — preventing defective refractory fiber blankets from entering the market and ensuring highly consistent fire-resistance performance batch-to-batch.

So — is a refractory fiber blanket fireproof?

Absolutely. CCEWOOL® refractory fiber blanket achieves true non-combustibility + thermal insulation + structural stability, making it a genuine fireproof insulation material for long-term use above 1000 °C in demanding industrial environments.
