Material Overview
Silicone-coated fiberglass fabric is a heavy-duty, high-performance composite material. It is engineered by coating a woven fiberglass substrate with a specially formulated silicone rubber compound. This structure perfectly integrates the high tensile strength and durability of fiberglass with the superior flexibility, thermal stability, and chemical resistance of silicone.
Core Properties
-
Thermal Stability: Withstands continuous high operating temperatures while maintaining structural integrity and flexibility.
-
Weather & Environmental Resistance: Exceptional resistance to ozone, UV degradation, and extreme weather conditions, ensuring a long lifespan in outdoor environments.
-
Chemical & Fluid Barrier: Highly resistant to water, industrial oils, and mild chemical splashes.
-
Mechanical Flexibility: Does not become brittle at low temperatures or stiff after prolonged heat exposure, making it ideal for dynamic, flexible processing.
Industrial Applications
-
Removable Insulation Jackets & Covers: The standard outer protective layer for valve covers, pipe insulation, and equipment jackets.
-
Non-Metallic Expansion Joints (Flexible Connections): Used as the core flexible element in ductwork and piping systems to absorb thermal expansion and vibration.
-
Welding Blankets & Fire Curtains: Provides reliable protection against welding sparks, molten metal splash, and intense heat in fabrication shops.
-
Industrial Protective Curtains & High-Temperature Gaskets: Utilized for thermal barriers, shrink tunnel curtains, and specialized high-temperature sealing applications.
