High Silica glass fabrics are designed for high temperature applications up to 1,832 degrees F (1,000 degrees C).
APPLICATONS:
- welding blankets - oven curtains - insulation pillows/ pads - protective clothes - conversion to gaskets - welding curtains - flexible expansion joins - fire blanket - general high heat protection
KEY FEATURES:
- very low thermal conductivity values
- inert to the majority of chemicals
- resistant to organic and mineral acids (except hydrofluoric and phosphoric)
- resistant to weak alkali, water, and high-pressure steam
Silica fabrics, based on texturized fabrics in general have higher abrasion resistances and higher insulation values in comparison to standard woven fabrics.
Please note, that our Silica fabrics may shrink up to 12% at high temperatures. Therefore, we offer pre-shrunk (heat treated) finish, which results in around 1- 3 % shrinkage.
CERTIFICATIONS:
Approval Certification # 3062242 for the use as welding curtains or welding blankets.
ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE FEATURES:
- Hydrophobic (water-repellent properties)
- Weave lock (for easy cutting & handling)
- Silane (amino silane and epoxy-silane based, for reinforcement applications)
- Various color finishes
- Heat Treatment (pre-shrinking up to 8%)
- Texturized fabric
- Impregnation with Vermiculite (to increase the Temperature Resistances)
- Laminations with Aluminum or Steel foils, or with an adhesive backing
- Coatings (Polyurethane, Silicone, Acrylic, Graphite filled, Neoprene
- Combinations of Coatings and Laminations
SHRINKAGE:
- Non-heat-treated materials up <12%
- Heat-treated materials, depending on final the application <8%
