There is a lot of imprecise terminology for refractory fibre paper and blanket. My interpretation:
Shelf paper is a very thin - like cartridge paper - material held together with organic binders, and often containing fibreglass particles. Thinfire and Papyros are two brand names.

Fibre paper is rougher than shelf papers. The fibres are longer and not compressed so much. They seem to be available in 2-6mm thicknesses and are held together with organic or chemical binders.

Fibre blanket tends to be uncompressed fibre from 12-75mm thick. It relies on the interconnected fibres rather than binders to keep its thickness.
