In the 1950s, the term “Refractory Ceramic Fibre” was coined for the aluminium silicate fibres developed at this time. On account of their chemical purity and resistance to high temperatures (classification temperature >1000 °C) as well as on the basis of their use in other applications, this definition was made to differentiate aluminium silicate wools from the conventional “mineral wools”. Because of the ambiguity of the term “ceramic” and the development of new materials for the high temperature range, the nomenclature was changed to High Temperature Insulation Wool (HTIW) at the end of the 1990s.
Basically, there are two types of inorganic HTIW. In addition to the more commonly used amorphous HTIW (Alumino Silicate Wool ASW/RCF and Alkaline Earth Silicate Wool (AES)), Polycrystalline Wool (PCW) is also available. Owing to the costly production and limited availability compared to mineral wool, HTIW products are almost only used in industrial applications and processes up to 1800 °C.
