Polycrystalline Alumina Fiber Market

Polycrystalline Alumina Fiber: Introduction

• Polycrystalline alumina fiber is prepared by the sol-gel method, which has the advantages of small bulk density, low thermal conductivity, good thermal shock stability, high service temperature, good chemical stability, and good corrosion resistance. It is widely used in metallurgy, building materials, ceramics, aerospace, and military industries.
• Rise in demand for stainless steel due to the growth in aviation and rail transportation sectors is major factor positively influencing the polycrystalline alumina fiber market
• The polycrystalline alumina fiber market is primarily driven by high demand for the fiber in iron & steel, transportation, and other industries due to its superior properties such as light weight, thermal stability, excellent thermal insulating performance, high resistance to thermal shock, and low thermal conductivity
• Increase in demand for polycrystalline alumina fiber in high temperature application is also boosting the market. Polycrystalline alumina fiber helps reduce carbon emissions due to its excellent chemically stable properties at high temperatures. Polycrystalline alumina fiber is used in lining furnaces and kilns.

Polycrystalline Alumina Fiber Market: Segments
