Raw form of ceramic fiber produced through melting and fiberizing. Used as base material for manufacturing other ceramic fiber products and as loose-fill insulation for complex spaces and cavities.
What Is Ceramic Fiber Bulk (Loose Wool)?
Ceramic fiber bulk is the loose, un-bonded fibre form of ceramic fibre — the raw material for modules, vacuum-formed shapes and castable reinforcement, and a practical fill for cavities and complex voids.

Properties & Advantages
- Conforms to irregular cavities and voids
- Low thermal conductivity as a fill
- Base material for modules and shapes
- Reinforces castables and coatings
- Asbestos-free, low shot content
Typical Applications
- Cavity and complex-void filling
- Feedstock for modules and special shapes
- Castable and mortar reinforcement
- Filtration and high-temp packing
Installation & Handling
Place loosely without over-compression to keep the insulating air fraction; for casting, blend the chopped fibre evenly into the matrix.
