Nextel™ Woven Ceramic Fabric
Woven ceramic fabrics and woven industrial fabrics from 3M allow engineers and designers with high temperature applications to create new, imaginative solutions for previously impossible problems.
3M™ Nextel™ Woven Ceramic Fabrics are designed to meet the toughest thermal, mechanical and electrical performance requirements. Nextel™ Woven Ceramic Fabrics outperform the useful limits of other high temperature textiles such as aramids, carbon, glass or quartz. Nextel™ woven ceramic fabrics are engineered to perform at continuous temperatures of 2000°F (1093°C) or higher depending on application and composition.
When used in industrial furnaces, Nextel™ Woven Ceramic Fabrics can serve as thermal barriers to separate different temperature zones or the fabrics can serve to prevent particulate shedding.
