Lightweight ceramic insulation and method

A process is disclosed for manufacturing a low density ceramic powder which can be formed to make a lightweight material for insulation or other construction. The ceramic product made from the process has a final density of less than 25 to about 1 percent of the theoretical weight of the ceramic powder. The ceramic product is lightweight and can be made to withstand high temperatures greater than 1400 C.

Making Highly Porous Ceramics

Rigid, lightweight insulation withstands temperatures greater than 1,400 degrees C made by cryogenic freeze-drying process. New insulation expected to have solid content as low as 1 percent by volume and to be mechanically isotropic.
