Textiles

High temperature textiles for applications requiring thermal shock and abrasion resistance.

We offer a range of woven textile products many manufactured with our high temperature Superwool® and Cera® bulk insulating fibres.

Our textile products are made using refractory insulating fibres and organic or non-organic binders to create a yarn. This yarn can then be woven into products such as cloth, cable rope, rope lagging, twisted rope, webbing and ladder tape.

Our range comprises of the following fibre grades:

  • Superwool® Low Biopersistent Fibres (LBP)
    • Alkaline Earth Silicate Fibre (AES):
      • Superwool Plus classification temperature of 1200°C (2192°F)
      • Superwool HT classification temperature of 1300°C (2372°F)
  • Refractory Ceramic Fibres:
    • Kao-Tex™ and Kaowool® classification temperature up to 1370°C (2500°F)
