Silicone coated fiberglass cloth is a high-performance material engineered for extreme industrial applications. The combination of fiberglass's durability and silicone's excellent heat resistance makes this fabric ideal for use in environments subjected to high temperatures, molten materials, and other demanding conditions. Available in heavy-duty, medium-duty, and light-duty variants, it provides versatile protection for various industrial needs.

Heavy-Duty Silicone Coated Fiberglass Cloth

Heavy-duty silicone-coated fiberglass cloth is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions, including molten metal splashes and slag. Often produced in belts, stripes, or customized forms, it shields hoses, cables, and machinery from high heat, protecting critical components in industries such as metalworking and glass manufacturing. This fabric is the heaviest heat control option available, offering unmatched performance in severe conditions.

Applications:

• Shielding hoses and cables from molten metal splashes and slag
• Protecting machinery and equipment from extreme heat
• Ideal for foundries and high-heat industrial environments

Medium-Duty Silicone Coated Fiberglass Cloth

Medium-duty silicone-coated fiberglass fabric offers one-sided coating on textured fabric for effective welding splatter protection and soft molten metal splash resistance. It also features a versatile two-sided coating on filament fabric, perfect for applications requiring both protection and flexibility. This fabric is commonly used as cold-side shielding for insulation blanket systems, providing additional safety in engine and generator exhaust systems.

Applications:

• Welding blanket and curtains
• Cold-side shielding in exhaust insulation systems
• Protection against welding splatter and molten metal
• Engine and generator insulation systems

Light-Duty Silicone Coated Fiberglass Cloth

Light-duty silicone-coated fiberglass cloth offers protection for applications requiring high-temperature resistance but in less extreme conditions. This fabric comes in both one-sided and two-sided coatings, making it ideal for creating heat-resistant sleeves, jackets, welding slats, and high-temperature curtains or barriers. Additionally, it is rain and wash-down resistant, providing waterproof solutions for caps, sleeves, and jackets.

Applications:

• High-temperature curtains and barriers
• Heat-resistant sleeves and jackets
• Waterproof caps and coverings for machinery and equipment
• Protective slats and coverings for industrial applications

Common Applications of Silicone Coated Fiberglass Cloth:

• Insulation Jackets: Used to wrap pipes, valves, and equipment to prevent heat loss and damage.
• Fire Curtains & Fire Doors: Offering fire resistance in industrial and commercial spaces, providing safe barriers in case of fire.
• Expansion Joints: Preventing damage from thermal expansion and contraction in high-temperature systems.
• Welding Blankets & Curtains: Protecting workers and surroundings from welding spatter and sparks.
• High-Temperature Insulation: Ideal for shielding machinery and piping from heat, ensuring operational safety.
• Heat Shields & Containment: Protecting equipment from direct exposure to intense heat sources.
• Removable Insulation Covers: Offering easy-to-install insulation for machinery that requires periodic maintenance.
• Fire Blankets: Providing emergency fire containment in industrial settings.

Customer Experience & Use Cases:
