[DuPont] A brand name for a bubble-filled [[viscose rayon]] fiber. Bubblefil was first produced during W.W.II as a substitute for imported [[kapok]]. It is made by injecting air inside the rayon filament during extrusion. The lightweight buoyant fiber was used in life jackets, pontoons, and insulated clothing (Cook 1984).

Description

An inorganic manufactured fiber that is stable at high temperatures. Ceramic fibers are composite materials made from mixtures of Silica with inorganic oxides such as Alumina, zirconia, thoria, Magnesia, hafnia, beryllia, Titanium dioxide, potassium titanate. They are used for insulation, packing, gaskets and reinforcement.

See Aluminum silicate fiber.
