BXI Inorganic Ceramic Fiber Thermal Insulation Board(2732F) - 12'' X 8'' X 0.8'', Pack of 1 - High Density - Flame Retardant, Heat Resistant, High Temperature Insulation

I was disappointed that this arrived with scratches and gouges. My concern is that these will be weak points and the ceramic heat shield will eventually crack. I need it now and it will be covered, otherwise I would return it. I am going to mount it on a board to reinforce it and limit the concern of cracking. Update 12/06/2025 I have used this material as a heat shield for a set of motor controllers. I cut it to fit the size of the enclosure and it has not cracked and broken as was my concern. Now I am expanding the design of motor controllers and need to use a larger piece to back larger motor controllers that will include a fan. I am purchasing it again. If you purchase you need to realize the limitations of the product. It is an inexpensive way to have a non conductive heat shield for electronic components, it is a composite material so you must secure it properly, however it will protect your components from heat.

Great Product! Arrived on time and in perfect condition! Using it in my Gas Forge! Easy to cut to fit your needs!

I luckily haven't had to rate this after a real fire, but I used it when setting up a laundry chute a built-in my house, and was able to test it before installation. My "test" was holding a lighter against it for 2 minutes on the same spot and seeing what happens. Only black marks were left behind, it left no other visible signs of damage or breaking down, still very solid. I'm convinced this will slow down any potential fire in this space, where I installed it. I'll rest easier! I only used one board cut in half as the gap was 6" x 8" and making a clean cut with a razor blade, box cutter, was very easy. Very little dust was created and only took 5 seconds, but I'd still recommend a mask for the small chance of inhaling too much of this special type of dust.

It's a great ceramic insulating board, but it's 7.8125" wide. BXI should be tarred and feathered for not accounting for shrinkage if that's the reason, but no matter the reason it's not correct to misstated. Lots of people have made this complaint about it not being 8" wide, at the very least the seller needs to state in a prominent location the size is 7 13/16 NOT 8" wide. I'd have given 5 stars if they were realistic and accurate about the size of the product. For the record I've purchased three of these .8" and six of the .4" I've also ordered Lynn Manufacturing 20x20x3/4" and lastly a Simond Store1x18x24 I like them all. (The remnants not treated with Plistix 900F I marked and put aside as I intend to test the manufacturers ratings) To make these last, I coat the ceramic insulation boards, both soft and hard fire bricks with Plistix 900F, which is highly flux resistant.

Honestly the best part is that it was WAY CHEAPER than the replacement part from the manufacturer. But in addition, it was easy to cut and install. Now my pellet stove runs so clean and efficiently that the window doesn’t soot up and there is hardly any ash in the firebox at the end of the day. I am so pleased.

For my purposes, I don't use it for anything heavy duty like casting. It works extremely well for soldering and I was able to touch the back no problem right after heating, unlike most organic boards.... just stressing it's positive insulation properties.

Used this to replace the back board on my Winchester biomass stove. So much cheaper than from the on line store. Use a sharp blade on your cutter and don't try to score and snap it.

I bought this to act as a sacrificial floor while forge welding however the flux ate right through it. I then repurposed it as a makeshift forge door it lasted about 3 propane tanks of forging and then just started crumbling.
