Ceramitex ceramic textiles
Ceramitex is Ceramisis's own range of asbestos free, inorganic fibres and textiles in the form of ceramic cloths, blankets, tapes, ropes, sleeves, yarns and insulators. These products and fibres are capable of operating continuously at 1000°C and up to 1100°C for limited periods. They will not melt or vaporize until the temperatures exceed 1700°C, and have a very high resistance to thermal shock. Ceramitex products also provide flexible electrical insulation at temperatures as high as 1000°C.
