Inorganic fiber specifications and applications

Inorganic fiber specifications and applications

1. Overview of inorganic fibers

Inorganic fiber is a kind of slender fiber made of inorganic materials as the main raw material. It has excellent properties, such as high temperature, corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), flame retardant, etc., and is widely used in various industries. Inorganic fibers are divided into inorganic glass fibers, inorganic ceramic fibers, inorganic metal fibers, inorganic polymer fibers, etc.

2. Production process of inorganic fibers

Inorganic fibers are usually produced using wet or dry processes. The wet process mainly involves adding water to the powder to form a paste slurry, and then performing fiberization processing. The dry process is made by drawing powder or liquid raw materials at high temperatures after special treatment. Different production processes will affect the performance, specifications and other parameters of inorganic fibers.

3. Specifications of inorganic fibers

The specifications of inorganic fibers mainly include fiber length, diameter, specific surface area, density, tensile strength, etc. Among them, inorganic ceramic fibers are especially high-purity products, and their specifications have a decisive impact on their performance. For example, the density of inorganic ceramic fibers is generally between 2~3g/cm³, and the tensile strength can be as high as more than 3000MPa.

4. Application industries of inorganic fibers

Inorganic fibers have excellent physical and chemical properties and are widely used in various industries such as composite materials, high-temperature insulation materials, fire-proof materials, and high-temperature corrosion-resistant materials. Among them, inorganic ceramic fibers are mainly used in high-temperature insulation materials, thermal conductive materials, corrosion-resistant (based on actual reports) materials and other industries; inorganic glass fibers are mainly used in construction, electronics, automobiles, aerospace and other industries.
