Fibres réfractaires 1000–1400 °C : fours, joints, prudence respirable que l’AES tente d’alléger.
Aussi appelé: FCR · alumino-silicate wool · AES wool
Fibre céramique 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 Fibre céramique 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.
Introduction approfondie
Fibre céramique (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.
Fibre céramique 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.
This atlas treats Fibre céramique as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.
Conductivity note: λ rises with T; still far below brick. Insulation score 80/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win.
Fire letter in editorial use: A1. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: 1940s–60s US/JP; EU RCF classification 1990s, United States / Japan / EU. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.
Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: mineral-wool.
Producers below are landmarks, not an endorsement ranking. Prices are bands, not live quotes.
Circularity mark 34/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
