3M™ Nextel™ Continuous Filament Ceramic Oxide Fibers 312, 440, 550, 610, 650 and 720 represent a major advancement in refractory fiber technology. These metal oxide fibers can be readily converted into textiles which meet demanding performance requirements in high temperature operating environments. Fabrics, paper, tapes, sleevings and yarn are typical products.

Additional Information

Additionally, the fibers have low elongation and shrinkage at operating temperatures, which allow for a dimensionally stable product to be made. These novel fibers also offer good chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, low porosity and unique electrical properties. Because the filaments are continuous and strong, ceramic oxide textiles can be produced
