Ceramic
Textiles Market: Overview
Ceramic
textiles are fabrics impregnated with ceramic. Products made from
ceramic materials are often used as components in mechanical and
plant engineering processes which require thermal and chemical
resistance. These ceramic textile composites can be further mixed
with magnetic powders, leading to higher permeability in the product
thus developed. Polymer-ceramic composites exhibit high permittivity
with restricted loss tangent, depending on the mix ratio. Conductive
textiles coated with carbon nanotubes and gold carry promising
features to achieve high conductivity and mechanical flexibility,
which are critical aspects of load bearing antennas. The strong
adhesive bond between the conductive textile and the polymer-ceramic
surface aids the creation of flexible, conformal, lightweight ceramic
textile products.

Ceramic
textiles or ceramic matrix composites are non-brittle refractory
materials designed for severe (high corrosive, pressure, temperature,
and stress levels) environments. As opposed to structural materials,
ceramic textiles are still at a nascent stage but there do exist a
few developed and tested ceramic-reinforced textile materials
operating in extreme conditions.
Ceramic
textiles or smart fabrics are far more complex than a blend of wools,
cottons, and polyesters. Fiber-reinforced ceramics are a key
technology employed in the manufacturing of rocket engines. Some of
their advantages include low specific weight, high specific strength
over a large temperature range, and excellent damage tolerance,
especially compared to monolithic ceramics, making them tremendously
interesting as a construction material.
Ceramic
Textiles Market: Dynamics and Trends
Ceramic
cloth is touted to be a major market due to the extraordinary
properties demonstrated by the textile such as heat insulation and
good performance at low temperatures. It has wide applications in
welding foundry works, aluminum and steel mills, boiler insulation
and seal, shipyards, refineries, power plants, and chemical plants.
Its ability to eliminate heat in high temperature applications is
anticipated to drive this market, apart from its usage in a range of
emerging industries, such as aerospace and alternate energy.
Refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) is a prominent segment of the ceramic
textile market. RCF is a versatile material which can be spun or
blown into bulk, air-laid into a blanket, folded into modules,
converted into papers, boards, and shapes, die-cut into gaskets,
twisted into yarns, woven into rope and cloth, and blended into
liquid binders for mastics and cements. The ceramic textiles market
is dominated by industrial end-users including petrochemicals, iron &
steel, and other metals.
Ceramic
Textiles Market: Segmentation
The
ceramic textile market can be divided into the following segments:
alumina-silica ceramic fiber and refractory ceramic fiber in terms of
the type of ceramic fiber; ropes, cloth, and tapes by textile type;
North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East &
Africa) based on region; and petrochemicals, iron & steel,
aluminum, and power generation by end-user.
Ceramic
Textiles Market: Region-wise outlook
Asia
Pacific is a major, rapidly growing market for ceramic textiles,
owing to the infrastructural growth in this region, besides the
presence of emerging economies and increasing industrialization. It
is followed by North America and Latin America.
