Silicone Coated Fiberglass Fabric
Silicone Coated Fiberglass Fabric is a lightweight, durable, heat and flame resistant material that is used for a variety of industrial applications. It is made from a combination of glass cloth and silicone with the glass cloth providing the tensile strength and the silicone providing the waterproofing and flame resistance. This material is highly versatile and can be used for insulation, weatherproofing, and many other applications.
This combination allows it to merge the best qualities of both materials:
- Strong yet Flexible: It inherits the dimensional stability and high tensile strength of fiberglass while gaining the flexibility of silicone rubber. This allows it to be easily wrapped, draped, or fitted over various shapes and equipment.
- High and Low-Temperature Resistance: It can be used continuously in a wide temperature range, typically from -70°C to 280°C (-94°F to 536°F), making it more than capable of handling common industrial heat and outdoor cold environments.
- Excellent Protective Properties: The silicone coating makes its surface waterproof, oil-repellent, and resistant to many chemicals. It also provides great electrical insulation.
- Safe and User-Friendly: Its smooth surface prevents the release of airborne fibers, which can happen with raw fiberglass, making it less irritating to the skin and safer to handle during installation and fabrication.
