Advanced Fibre Development

The team at Thermal Ceramics R&D is well equipped to create the next generation of fibre products. Apart from the laboratory facilities, which are second to none, the R&D Centre is equipped with four pilot lines allowing all types of fibre manufacturing to be simulated and scaled up during development without the need to disrupt production.

Small samples for H&S evaluation as well as large samples for customer trials can all be produced during the development stage.

The people and facilities at Thermal Ceramics R&D are connected closely to the business as a whole and to the wider market by a Project Management process. This includes all aspects of product development from market size analysis through to product launch and to follow up at customer sites. All departments of Thermal Ceramics are involved in the product development process through the project management structure. R&D is connected to the business.
