As a new type of insulation and fire prevention material, high silicon fiber felt is becoming a "new legend" in the field of insulation and fire prevention due to its excellent performance and wide application prospects. High silicon fiber felt not only has excellent high temperature resistance and fire resistance, but also has advantages such as lightweight and corrosion resistance, making it an indispensable material in modern construction, automotive, electronics and other fields. This article will explore in detail the characteristics, advantages, applications, and future development trends of high silicon fiber felt.

1、 Basic Overview of High Silicon Fiber Felt

   High silicon fiber felt is a felt like material composed of fiber materials with high silicon content. Its main component is silicon dioxide (SiO ₂), usually based on silicates and processed through special processes. Due to the special properties of its main raw materials, high silicon fiber felt has extremely high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, fire resistance and other characteristics. Therefore, it has become one of the indispensable materials in industry and construction.

   The production process of high silicon fiber felt is relatively complex. By subjecting the silicon sand or silicate in the raw materials to high temperature treatment, the fiber structure becomes denser and tougher, improving its physical properties. Compared with traditional glass fiber felt and asbestos felt, high silicon fiber felt has more advantages in fire resistance, thermal stability, and chemical corrosion resistance.

4、 Production process and technical requirements of high silicon fiber felt

The production process of high silicon fiber felt determines its excellent and stable performance. Here are some key technical requirements in its production process:

Selection of high silicon raw materials: The quality of high silicon fiber felt is closely related to the silicon content of the raw materials. Therefore, high-purity silicon sand or silicate materials must be selected in the production process.

High temperature treatment technology: During the production process, raw materials need to be treated at high temperatures to melt silicates and form fiber structures. This process needs to be completed in a high-temperature kiln to ensure the stability and strength of the fibers.

Fibrosis treatment: Through specific fibrosis techniques, molten silicate materials are drawn into slender fibers to further enhance their high temperature resistance and mechanical strength.

Felt forming: Silicon fibers that have undergone fiberization treatment are formed into felt like materials through special equipment. During this process, the density and thickness of the felt need to be strictly controlled to ensure its performance.
