Origin of ceramic fibers:
As early as 1941, Babcock Wilcox company of the United States used natural kaolin to be sprayed into ceramic fibers after being melted in an electric arc furnace.
In the late 1940s, two companies in the United States produced aluminum silicate series fibers and used them in the aviation industry for the first time. In the 1950s, ceramic fibers have been officially put into industrial production.
By the 1960s, a variety of ceramic fiber products had been developed and began to be used for the wall lining of industrial kilns.
Current situation of ceramic fiber in China:
China started relatively late in the ceramic fiber industry. Since 1986, China has designed and built different types of production lines through the digestion and absorption of the imported ceramic fiber production equipment and processes, and combined with the national conditions. Up to now, China has become a large ceramic fiber producer in the world.
