Early kaolin-based ceramic fibres in the US.
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.
Early kaolin-based ceramic fibres in the US.
Furnace lining without firebrick thickness.
Anchored folded blankets for petrochemical heaters.
RCF classified; workplace rules tightened.
Alkaline-earth silicate wools, lower biopersistence claims.
Exposure limits as the product differentiator.
Still higher T, different process.
Structural steel and ducts — check which fibre.
Many EU sites specify AES unless T demands RCF.
Still immature versus mineral wool.

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