When high-temperature protection is required, choosing the right material is important. Silicone coated fiberglass fabric combines strong fiberglass with a protective silicone coating, making it suitable for welding, fire protection, heat shielding and thermal insulation.
This guide explains its key features, applications, temperature options and how to choose the right specification.
Silicone coated fiberglass fabric is woven fiberglass fabric coated with fire-retardant silicone rubber on one or both sides.
The fiberglass provides strength and heat resistance, while the silicone coating improves flexibility, abrasion resistance and resistance to moisture and oil.
This combination creates a durable heat resistant fabric for demanding industrial applications.
| Key Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
1. High Temperature Resistance |
Different grades can provide temperature resistance options such as 550°C, 800°C and 1000°C+, depending on the material and construction. The appropriate temperature grade should be selected according to the actual application and exposure conditions. |
2. Fire and Flame Resistance |
Fiberglass and fire-retardant silicone coating provide protection against flames, sparks, welding spatter and radiant heat. This makes the fabric suitable for welding and other hot-work applications. |
3. Flexible and Easy to Use |
The fabric is flexible and easy to cut, sew, fold and fabricate. It can be supplied in rolls or converted into blankets, curtains, covers and other protective products. |
4. Durable Surface Protection |
The silicone coating improves abrasion resistance and environmental resistance, making the fabric suitable for repeated use in industrial environments. |
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
Welding Blanket |
Silicone coated fiberglass welding blankets help protect surrounding equipment, floors and work areas from welding sparks, spatter and heat. They are commonly used for welding, grinding and cutting operations. |
Welding Curtain |
The fabric can be manufactured into welding curtains to separate hot-work areas and provide protection from sparks and heat. |
Fire Blanket |
Silicone coated fiberglass fabric can also be used to manufacture fire blankets and fire-resistant covers for industrial applications. The material grade should be selected according to the expected temperature and exposure conditions. |
Heat Shield |
The flexible fabric can be used as a heat shield around pipes, machinery, engines and other heat-generating equipment. |
Thermal Insulation and Equipment Covers |
It is also suitable for removable insulation blankets, equipment covers, pipe insulation and thermal protection systems. |
Choosing the right heat resistant fiberglass fabric depends mainly on the following factors.
| Selection Factor | Options and Considerations |
|---|---|
| Temperature |
Determine the actual temperature the fabric will be exposed to. Common options include 550°C, 800°C and 1000°C+, with customized temperature resistance available for specific applications. |
| Thickness |
Different thicknesses provide different handling and protection characteristics. Available options include 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm. |
| Width |
Common roll widths include: 1.0m / 1.3m / 1.5m / 1.8m Custom widths can also be produced according to project requirements. |
| Coating and Construction |
The coating type, fiberglass substrate and fabric construction all affect final performance. For this reason, the complete product specification should be considered when selecting a high temperature fiberglass fabric. |
Different applications require different levels of fire and heat protection.
