🌡️Ursprung und Meilensteine

Keramikfaser · Feuerfeste Fasern für 1000–1400 °C: Ofen, Dichtung, Atemfaser-Vorsicht, die AES mildern will.

Keramikfaser did not arrive as a finished commodity. 1940s–60s US/JP; EU RCF classification 1990s around United States / Japan / EU still explains who makes it and which tests it sits in.

Ten dated points, five eras and three milestones below are the spine — not a complete industrial history.

Zeitlinie

1942+Babcock & Wilcox

Early kaolin-based ceramic fibres in the US.

1950sNeedled blankets

Furnace lining without firebrick thickness.

1970sModules

Anchored folded blankets for petrochemical heaters.

1988–97EU carcinogen class

RCF classified; workplace rules tightened.

1990sAES / Superwool

Alkaline-earth silicate wools, lower biopersistence claims.

2000sREACH / SCOEL

Exposure limits as the product differentiator.

2010sPolycrystalline Al2O3

Still higher T, different process.

2010sFire-protection wraps

Structural steel and ducts — check which fibre.

2020sRCF substitution

Many EU sites specify AES unless T demands RCF.

2020sRecycling of offcuts

Still immature versus mineral wool.

Knowing this timeline is how to read a mill certificate without treating Keramikfaser as timeless.
