Signature ceramic fiber fabric · Ahmedabad

Ceramic fiber fabric for Odhav foundry and furnace insulation

Maintenance buyers in Odhav specify ceramic cloth for furnace wraps and barriers, not for the person wearing a coat. Signature Ceramic Fiber Fabric is white cloth, sold per square metre and cut to the length and width you enter. Eight DSZCF builds run from 1.5 mm to 6.0 mm. Seven are SS metallic reinforced. DSZCF3.0NM is the non-metallic 3.0 mm cloth. Listed temperature is 1000 °C to 1760 °C on the two thin builds, and 1260 °C to 1760 °C from 3.0 mm upward. We make the cloth at our Ahmedabad factory and dispatch it to the address on your order.

When the cloth face rubs, specify graphite

The white DSZCF cloth is the insulation and barrier. DSZGCF3.0 is the black, both-side graphite cloth for a face that is rubbed or needs to be sealed. It is a separate product, 3.0 mm and 1000 GSM, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C.

Match thickness and reinforcement to the wrap

Every row is white Signature Ceramic Fiber Fabric, ordered by length and width in metres. The product page does not preselect the model, so name the DSZCF code on the quotation. All eight builds link to the same product.

Metallic yarn or plain ceramic cloth

Stainless strands in the yarn give the cloth body and tear resistance when it is pulled tight, refitted and knocked about. Ceramic fibre on its own is strong against heat and slack under tension. That is why seven builds are SS metallic reinforced, and one build leaves the steel out.

  • SS metallic reinforced

    DSZCF1.5, DSZCF2.0, DSZCF3.0, DSZCF3.0P, DSZCF4.0, DSZCF5.0 and DSZCF6.0. Use these for furnace wraps and barriers that are tensioned and handled. DSZCF3.0P keeps the 3.0 mm thickness and raises the mass from 1000 GSM to 1500 GSM.

  • Non-metallic DSZCF3.0NM

    Same 3.0 mm and 1000 GSM as DSZCF3.0, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C, without steel in the weave. Specify it beside induction heating, live electrical equipment, or a surface that must not take metal marking or contamination.

Odhav is the foundry cluster in the district MSME profile, and the Odhav Industries Association lists foundries among the estate's industry types. Naroda, Vatva, Rakhial and Tribhuvan are further concentrations in the published Ahmedabad foundry cluster profile. The cloth is insulation and barrier fabric. It is not a coat or a glove.

Ceramic cloth, fiberglass cloth, or a graphite face

This fabric is the ceramic cloth for furnace and foundry duty when glass or silica cloth is out of range. It is not a finished fire blanket. DSZCF codes also appear on Signature Ceramic Fire Blanket, which is sold as finished pieces. Order by the product page, not by the code alone. DSZCF4.0 fabric is 1800 GSM. Do not assume a blanket with a similar code has the same weight.

  • Fiberglass or ceramic

    Compare the fibres before you substitute one cloth for the other. The comparison sits on its own guide so the temperature bands stay with the right product.

  • Graphite-coated face

    DSZGCF3.0 is black, both-side graphite coated, 3.0 mm, 1000 GSM, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C. Use it when the surface is rubbed or you need a sealed face that sheds fewer fibres.

What a fabric quotation needs

    Furnace wrap, door barrier, or work beside an induction coil. That confirms metallic or non-metallic.

Questions from furnace maintenance

Answers for Ahmedabad foundry and heavy-engineering buyers specifying DSZCF cloth, including metallic and non-metallic 3.0 mm builds and how a quotation is sized.

Which ceramic fiber fabric should an Odhav furnace wrap start with?

For a reinforced furnace wrap or barrier, start with DSZCF3.0: white, 3.0 mm, 1000 GSM, SS metallic reinforced, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C, sold per square metre. Enter the length and width in metres on the product page. If the same 3.0 mm cloth wears through, specify the denser DSZCF3.0P at 1500 GSM. If the furnace is induction, or steel in the weave is a problem, specify DSZCF3.0NM instead.

When should Odhav maintenance choose the non-metallic cloth?

Choose DSZCF3.0NM when stainless steel in the yarn is a problem: work around live electrical equipment, induction heating, or a surface that must not be marked or contaminated by metal. It is the same 3.0 mm and 1000 GSM as DSZCF3.0, and the same listed band of 1260 °C to 1760 °C, built as non-metallic ceramic cloth. The other seven models are SS metallic reinforced.

Why do the 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm cloths list a different temperature from the thicker builds?

DSZCF1.5 and DSZCF2.0 list 1000 °C to 1760 °C. From DSZCF3.0 upward, including DSZCF3.0P, DSZCF3.0NM, DSZCF4.0, DSZCF5.0 and DSZCF6.0, the listed range is 1260 °C to 1760 °C. Thickness changes insulating mass and the listed lower band. If the duty sits between 1000 °C and 1260 °C, specify 3.0 mm or above rather than the thin cloth.

What is the difference between DSZCF3.0 and DSZCF3.0P?

Both are 3.0 mm, white and SS metallic reinforced, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C. DSZCF3.0 is 1000 GSM. DSZCF3.0P is 1500 GSM, a denser cloth in the same nominal thickness. Specify the P build when a 3.0 mm furnace wrap has worn through too quickly and you do not want to step up to 4.0 mm.

Should a foundry furnace use ceramic fiber fabric or fiberglass cloth?

Signature Ceramic Fiber Fabric is the white ceramic cloth for furnace and foundry wraps and barriers when glass or silica cloth is out of range. DSZCF models list either 1000 °C to 1760 °C or 1260 °C to 1760 °C. Read the fiberglass-versus-ceramic comparison before you treat the two fibres as interchangeable, and read the temperature-ratings guide before you compare a listed band with another supplier's figure.

When does the graphite-coated cloth replace the white DSZCF cloth?

Stay with the uncoated white DSZCF cloth for straightforward insulation and barriers, where the metallic reinforcement already supplies strength. Move to Signature Graphite Coated Ceramic Fabric, model DSZGCF3.0, when the face is rubbed repeatedly or you need a sealed face that sheds fewer fibres. DSZGCF3.0 is black, both-side graphite coated, 3.0 mm, 1000 GSM, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C. Put it on its own quotation line.

How do we order the size a furnace actually needs?

Enter length and width in metres on the product page. The cloth is cut to that size and sold per square metre. The 1 × 30 m figure on most models, and 1 × 20 m on DSZCF6.0, is a reference roll, not a minimum order. Name the model as well as the metres, because DSZCF codes also appear on a different ceramic fire blanket sold as finished pieces.

Does this ceramic cloth contain asbestos?

No. Ceramic fibre is the non-asbestos cloth used in place of legacy asbestos cloth on furnace and foundry work. It is still a high-temperature mineral fibre. Cut and handle it under your site procedure for ceramic fibre, keep dust down, and use shears or snips on reinforced builds because the stainless strands blunt ordinary scissors.

What should a bulk fabric quotation include?

Send the DSZCF model, the length and width in metres, how many pieces, and the delivery address. Say whether the 3.0 mm line is metallic DSZCF3.0, dense DSZCF3.0P, or non-metallic DSZCF3.0NM. Add DSZGCF3.0 only if the face needs graphite. We quote from our Ahmedabad factory. The price is on that quotation.

Can maintenance collect cloth from a counter in Odhav?

No. We manufacture in Ahmedabad and dispatch to the address on the order. Odhav and the other foundry areas on this page do not have a Darshan Safety Zone counter, dealer or shelf. Sharing the city with the factory does not promise a same-day collection. Our shipping policy gives India courier ranges only as estimates: about 1 to 2 business days to handle the order, then about 1 to 3 days locally, 2 to 5 days within Gujarat, and 3 to 7 days for the rest of India. The quotation confirms dispatch. It does not promise an arrival day. Need the cloth urgently? Contact our sales team through the contact form with the delivery address, the DSZCF model and when you need it. They can discuss the dispatch options for that order. Contacting us does not guarantee same-day delivery or that the cloth is ready to collect.
