Ceramic fibre in 1988: EU carcinogen class · 357

Spun refractory fibres for 1000–1400 °C — kiln linings, gaskets, and a respirable-fibre caution that AES grades try to ease. Ceramic fibre is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under fire: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue.

Scores compare Ceramic fibre with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates. Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.

Ceramic fibre (Al2O3–SiO2 (RCF) / alkaline earth silicate (AES)) is a family of grades whose density 64–192 kg/m³ blankets, heat band classification T often 1260–1400 °C, and fire letter A1. Ceramic fibre is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry Al2O3–SiO2 (RCF) / alkaline earth silicate (AES), density 64–192 kg/m³ blankets, heat band classification T often 1260–1400 °C.
