Is ceramic fiber insulation flammable?

In industrial high-temperature applications and building fire protection systems, the fire resistance of insulation materials is a critical indicator. A frequently asked question is: Will ceramic fiber insulation burn?
The answer is: No.

Ceramic Fiber Insulation - CCEWOOL®

Ceramic fiber insulation products, represented by CCEWOOL®, are non-combustible, stable, and reliable high-temperature insulation solutions. They have been widely used in industries such as metallurgy, petrochemicals, power generation, and ceramics, earning the trust of users around the world.

What is CCEWOOL® Ceramic Fiber?
CCEWOOL® ceramic fiber is a lightweight inorganic non-metallic fiber material made from high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃) and silica (SiO₂), produced by melting at high temperatures and then forming through blowing or spinning techniques. It combines high strength, low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability, and can operate stably in high-temperature environments ranging from 1100–1430°C.

Why Doesn’t CCEWOOL® Ceramic Fiber Insulation Burn?

  • Essentially an inorganic material with no combustible components.
  • Extremely high service temperature range, far above the ignition point of conventional organic insulation materials.
  • Even when directly exposed to open flames, it does not produce smoke or toxic gases.

Outstanding Features for Harsh Environments CCEWOOL® Insulating Ceramic Wool

  • Composition: High-purity alumino-silicate fiber.
  • Key Advantages: Chemically resistant, lightweight, low thermal conductivity, high heat storage capacity.
  • Typical Use: Extreme high temperatures and structural strength demands, such as kilns and heat treatment equipment.

Typical Application Scenarios
CCEWOOL® ceramic fiber insulation is suitable for a wide range of high-temperature insulation and fire protection needs, including but not limited to:

  • Raw material for ceramic fiber blankets, boards, textiles, and vacuum-formed products.
  • Gap filling and thermal insulation packing in high-temperature equipment linings.
  • Shaped insulation solutions for complex structures, corners, and irregular parts.

Will ceramic fiber insulation burn?
CCEWOOL® gives a clear and professional answer: No, it won’t.
It not only offers excellent fire resistance but also excels in high-temperature stability, energy efficiency, and service life. For these reasons, CCEWOOL® ceramic fiber has become a trusted choice in many high-temperature industrial and fire protection projects.

Cooperation years: 6 years
Ordered product: CCEWOOL® Ceramic Fiber Bulk

Recently, the CCEWOOL® ceramic fiber bulk we purchased has been successfully applied in multiple projects. The material has demonstrated excellent non-combustibility and thermal stability. Even under continuous high temperatures or direct exposure to open flames, it does not burn or release harmful smoke, fully meeting our fire protection standards. Its low thermal conductivity, lightweight structure, and outstanding thermal shock resistance also make it highly suitable for insulation filling and structural packing under our complex operating conditions.
