Nextel Ceramic Fibers
3M™ Nextel™ Continuous Ceramic Oxide Fibers 312, 440, 550, 610 and 720 represent a major advancement in refractory fiber technology. This family of metal oxide fibers can be readily converted into ceramic textile products which meet demanding performance requirements in high temperature operating environments. Nextel™ Ceramic Textiles are typically used in aerospace, outerspace and industrial applications.
Because the filaments are continuous and strong, Nextel™ Ceramic Textiles can be produced without the aid of other fibers or wire inserts. Rovings, yarns, fabrics, tapes, sleevings and sewing threads are typical products.
Features of 3M™ Nextel™ Fibers:
- Low elongation at operating temperatures
- Low shrinkage at operating temperatures
- Good chemical resistance
- Low thermal conductivity
- Thermal shock resistance
- Low porosity
- Unique electrical properties

Made from 3M™ Nextel™ Fibers, these chopped fibers are used in composite applications. The fibers, commonly chopped to 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" lengths, are widely known for their role in ceramic underbody tiles which protect NASA's Space Shuttles.
NOTE: These fibers are considered non-respirable. Fibers with diameters greater than 3 microns are considered nonrespirable in humans. 3M™ Nextel™ 312, 440, 550, 610 and 720 Ceramic fibers are 7-13 microns in diameter and therefore pose no known chronic health effects.

Chopped fibers are used in compression and injection molding compounds to produce machine parts, gears, chemical valves and computer housings. The finished products have excellent corrosion, creep and fatigue resistance plus high strength and stiffness characteristics.

Ceramic fiber heaters intergrate a high temperature iron-chrome-aluminum (ICA) heating element wire with ceramic fiber insulation. Numerous stock, standard and/or custom shapes can be provided, achieving the "heated insulation" concept for your high temperature, non-contact applications. The ceramic fiber insulation isolates the high temperatures inside the heated chamber from the outside. The heaters are low mass, fast heating, with high insulation values and self-supported heating elements that offer some of the highest temperature heating capabilities within the Watlow family of heater designs.
Applications
High temperature furnaces
Metal melting, holding and transfer
Semiconductor processing
Glass, ceramic and wire processing
Analytical instrumentation
Fluidized beds
Laboratory and R&D
Other high temperature process applications
