Alumina-silica fiber is a continuous fiber. Its most significant feature is being completely Boron-Free, ensuring no boron vapor generation at high temperatures, making it ideal for semiconductor processes requiring extreme atmospheric purity.
Composed of thousands of filaments with a diameter of only 7 microns, it possesses extremely high tensile strength and modulus. Besides industrial insulation, it is an ideal reinforcement material for Metal Matrix Composites (FRM) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC).
