High-Temperature Ceramic Fiber Pipe Insulation
Shield against extreme heat with these flexible ceramic strips. They are often used to insulate hose, cables, and process piping.
Alumina oxide ceramic fiber has the lowest heat-flow rate of all the ceramic fiber materials.
Alkaline earth silicate ceramic fiber, also called AES, has a foil facing to reflect radiant heat.
Insulation with adhesive backing allows you to install without having to hold in place. Secure with band clamps or other parts of the assembly once in position. Apply while cool. Adhesive will start to wear off around 400° F, but this does not affect the insulation’s temperature rating.
