1. Product Overview
Aluminum foil-faced ceramic fiber blanket is a newly developed multi-layer refractory insulation material. It combines the excellent properties of ceramic fiber—such as high temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, and outstanding thermal and chemical stability—with the protective advantages of aluminum foil, including high reflectivity, moisture resistance, and dust protection.
This material is widely used in thermal management and energy-saving systems across industries such as metallurgy, power generation, petrochemicals, building materials, shipbuilding, and other high-temperature applications.

2. Key Features & Advantages
① Excellent Thermal Insulation Performance
Ceramic fiber features low thermal conductivity and low heat storage capacity. It withstands prolonged exposure to high temperatures, effectively reducing furnace shell temperature and improving energy efficiency.
② High Reflectivity
The aluminum foil surface reflects more than 96% of infrared heat radiation, effectively minimizing heat loss and enhancing insulation performance.
③ Moisture and Dust Resistance
The aluminum foil layer provides excellent protection against moisture, water, dust, steam, oil, and other contaminants, significantly extending the service life of the material.
④ High Mechanical Strength & Easy Installation
The needle-punched structure ensures excellent tensile strength and flexibility. The material is easy to cut, wrap, and install. The foil is firmly bonded, improving handling and installation efficiency.
⑤ Sound Absorption & Noise Reduction
The porous fiber structure absorbs sound waves effectively. The aluminum foil enhances noise reflection, providing dual noise control performance.
⑥ Environmental Safety
Free of asbestos and harmful substances, safe for human health, and compliant with EU environmental directives such as RoHS.

4. Structure & Product Types
The aluminum foil ceramic fiber blanket is typically a single-sided laminated structure, with foil on one side and exposed ceramic fiber on the other.
Lamination Methods:（1）Thermal Lamination: Hot-press bonding for strong adhesion and high temperature resistance
（2）Adhesive Bonding: Using heat-resistant glue, suitable for less demanding applications
Available options include:Aluminum foil thickness: 7–50 microns
Fiber types:
Standard
High purity
Zirconium-added
Polycrystalline mullite
5. Main Applications
(1) Industrial Equipment Insulation
Used for furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature equipment. The foil reflects heat radiation and improves insulation efficiency.
(2) Pipes & Chimneys
Suitable for high-temperature pipelines and flue systems, offering flexibility and wind erosion resistance.
(3) Noise Control Systems
Used in turbines and engines; fiber absorbs sound while foil reflects it, ensuring dual noise protection.
(4) Shipbuilding, Aerospace & Automotive
Provides lightweight, heat resistance, insulation, and vibration resistance.
(5) Building Energy Systems
Ideal for reflective roof insulation and fire protection in ventilated facades.
(6) Electrical Fire Protection
Used for electrical cabinets and control panels requiring fire-resistant insulation.
