 HIGH TEMPERATURE TEXTILE
Ceramic fiber textiles are high performance thermal textiles
made of high quality ceramic fiber. The textiles range is
composed of yarn, cloth, tape, rope, braided packing,
sleeving, etc.

They are reinforced with E-glass fiber or stainless steel

wire 304 or 310. E-glass fiber reinforcement is used where
metal is undesirable, especially when using the textiles
as a dielectric, while the steel wire reinforcement provides
maximum strength at elevated temperatures .In applications where the tensile strength is important,
temperature limits of inserted materials should be considered.

CMAX ceramic fiber textiles contain carrier fiber to facilitate the carding process. The textiles
normally contain 16-20% rayon fiber which will burn out at high temperature, but has no effect on the
properties of the products.
