Born in NASA’s shuttle research program, this unique woven ceramic fabric is designed to withstand the heat generated from the orbit re-entry of the shuttle.

The alumina-based ceramic fibre is made into thread and woven into a ceramic matrix fabric to form one of the most advanced combustion surfaces for burners.

The voids created in the weaving process act the same as the holes in ceramic tiles or opening in wire mesh burners. The precision-controlled weaving process provides an extremely uniform burning area without a need for internal diffusion plates or baffles. The flexibility of woven ceramic fabric burners provide second-to-none thermal and mechanical shock resistance.

  • Nextel Woven Ceramic Matrix Fabric combined with advanced burner technology outperforms other burner material.
  • Nextel's Woven Ceramic Fabric was developed for use in Nasa's space program for it's heat-resistance and durability.

  • At a melting temperature of 3200˚F the iTS’s WCM burners are indestructible
  • Heat loading of over 7000 BTUH/hr sq inch down to 400 BTUH/hr sq inch provides a turndown of more than 17 to one in some applications
  • The WCM burners are a perfect combination of wire mesh and ceramic tile burners; combining the superb characteristics of ceramics such as low thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance, with the flexibility and durability of wire mesh
  • WCM burners are available in a variety of geometrical shapes, including cylindrical burners, which are ideal for all fluid immersion heating (boilers, fryers, water heaters)
