The use of thermal ceramic products or ceramic wool for insulation purposes has become very popular nowadays. Almost all companies today demand these products because they are mainly used to control heat.
Ceramic fiber products are widely used by various businesses that involve operations and manufacturing processes that generate or use high temperatures.
Thermal ceramics have various useful features such as low thermal conductivity, low heat storage, high tensile strength, thermal shock resistance, and sound absorption.
These properties of thermal ceramics yield various applications, especially in metal & petrochemical industries and other industries such as process heaters, heat-treating furnaces, ethylene furnaces, and all furnace linings requiring a protective barrier.
Thermal ceramics are easy to install, contain no binder, contain no asbestos, and have no curing on the dry-out time required which makes them preferable over other alternatives.
Companies operating in the thermal ceramics market are launching innovative products. In 2017, Unifrax began its latest low bio-persistent thermal insulation using enhanced fi-binarization techniques combined with new proprietary processing technology to provide customers with improved thermal and physical characteristics.
The thermal Ceramics Market is segmented by Type, Temperature Range, and application. By type, the thermal ceramics market is segmented into insulation bricks and ceramic fiber. The Ceramic fiber segment consists of a ceramic blanket, cloth, rope, paper, board, etc.
They are used in fire doors, furnace insulation, individual heat-resistant containers, and heating pipes, for situations with direct exposure to flames, as gaskets to hold or keep out high temperatures.
The ceramic fiber segment dominated the market, and it is expected to grow at the fastest rate. Insulation bricks are mainly used in glass industries, ceramics industries, electrolytic aluminum industries, iron & steel industries, non-ferrous metals industries, and power generation industries.
By temperature range, the thermal ceramics market is segmented into 600-1000 celsius, 1000-1400 Celsius, 1400-1600 Celsius, and above 1600 Celsius. Thermal ceramics used for the 1000-1400 Celsius temperature range accounted for a significant market share.
By application, the thermal ceramics market is segmented into mining & metal processing, chemical & petrochemical, manufacturing, power generation, and others.
The mining & metal processing segment accounted for a significant market share due to extensive use in both ferrous & non-ferrous metal processing.
In the metal industry, they can be used for burner blocks, covers, curtains, emission control, expansion joints, furnace linings, gaskets, hot gas filtration, insulation, mold linings, and nozzle shrouds.
In chemical & petrochemical, they are used for acoustic insulation, boilers, catalyst recovery, fire protection, ground flares, hot gas filtration, personnel/equipment protection, seals, insulation, etc.
In manufacturing, they are frequently used in the automotive & aerospace industry for electric car battery insulation, AGM battery separators, lib battery fire protection, exhaust system insulation, friction materials, fuel filtration, gaskets, start-stop batteries, airbag filtration, aircraft appliance insulation, aircraft heat shields, cable wraps, cryogenic insulation, and electronics fire protection.
The manufacturing segment is expected to witness the fastest growth due to the automotive industry, especially electric cars. In power generation, they are used for thermal oxidizers, waste incineration, boilers, personnel/equipment protection, polysilicon reactors, etc.
By region, the global thermal ceramics market is segmented into North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The Asia-Pacific segment dominates the market due to massive industrial activity in the region, especially in China.
Asia-Pacific is also expected to be the fastest-growing due to growth in the metal processing industry, automotive, and construction sectors in China.
Global Thermal Ceramics Market is very competitive. Some of the notable players in the Thermal Ceramics Market are Morgan Thermal Ceramics, Unifrax, IBIDEN, Isolite Insulating Products, YESO Insulating Products, Luyang Energy-Saving, RHI Magnesita, Rath Inc., Nutec, Vitcas Ltd, and Mineral Seal Corporation.
In Sept 2017, Unifrax launched their latest low bio-persistent thermal insulation Isofrax® 1400 blanket and modules which are from the high-temperature LBP technology first introduced by Unifrax.
