Silicone coated silica fabric is a high-performance material designed to provide exceptional thermal insulation and mechanical protection in extreme temperature environments. Made from high-purity silica fibers and coated with high-grade silicone rubber, this fabric offers a combination of flexibility, durability, and superior heat resistance that makes it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.
Unlike conventional fiberglass or ceramic fabrics, silicone coated silica fabric delivers both thermal protection and excellent resistance to moisture, abrasion, and chemical exposure. This unique combination allows it to perform reliably even under the harshest operating conditions.
Key Features and Advantages
1. Outstanding Heat Resistance The base silica fabric withstands continuous temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F), while the silicone coating provides additional surface protection against molten metal splashes, oil, and water.
2. Enhanced Durability The silicone layer prevents fraying, improves tear strength, and extends service life compared to uncoated silica fabrics. It is designed to resist wear and maintain structural integrity over long periods of use.
3. Excellent Flexibility and Handling Despite its high temperature resistance, silicone coated silica fabric remains flexible and easy to cut, sew, or wrap around complex shapes, making it suitable for customized thermal insulation designs.
4. Resistance to Oil, Water, and Chemicals The silicone surface acts as a barrier against oil, water, and most industrial chemicals, ensuring stable performance in humid or corrosive environments.
5. Electrical Insulation Properties In addition to its thermal benefits, this material provides good electrical insulation, further expanding its range of applications.
Industrial Applications
Silicone coated silica fabric is widely used in industries where heat, flame, or molten metal exposure is common. Key applications include:
Thermal insulation blankets and covers for turbines, exhaust systems, and industrial machinery
Welding curtains and fire protection barriers in metal fabrication environments
Removable insulation jackets for valves, pipes, and fittings
Expansion joint covers and flexible connectors in exhaust and ducting systems
Protective sleeves for hoses and cables exposed to radiant or convective heat
This fabric ensures stable performance, protection, and energy efficiency across various sectors including automotive, power generation, aerospace, marine, and petrochemical industries.
