Discover the benefits of Nextel ceramic products in your industry

Imagine pushing the boundaries of what's possible with materials that can handle the most demanding environments. That's the power of 3M™ Nextel™ Ceramic Fibers and Textiles.

Lightweight yet remarkably strong and durable, Nextel ceramics can take the heat – literally. They excel in high-temperature applications where other materials fail. This translates to increased efficiency, extended lifespans, and enhanced safety for your equipment.

Nextel Ceramic Fibers and Textiles are available as rovings, yarns, sewing threads, fabrics, tapes, braided sleevings, and chopped fibre. Their adaptability extends to the development of continuous fibre reinforced composite materials, including Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs), Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs), and Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs).
