Glass Fibre Cloth with Graphite Coating - High-Temperature Industrial Fabric
Vitcas Glass Fibre Cloth with Graphite Coating is a premium, high-performance fabric engineered for extreme temperature environments. The addition of graphite coating significantly improves the material's heat tolerance and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications. This durable fabric can withstand short-term exposure to temperatures up to 1000°C / 1830°F and offers continuous resistance up to 800°C / 1470°F, ensuring reliability in demanding conditions.
Key Features
High Temperature Resistance: The graphite coating enables the fabric to endure up to 1000°C / 1830°F for short durations and 800°C / 1470°F continuously, making it perfect for extreme heat applications.
Abrasion Resistance: The combination of glass fibre and graphite coating provides excellent protection against wear, prolonging its lifespan in abrasive environments.
Durable and Flexible: Despite its strength, the cloth remains flexible, allowing for easy cutting, shaping, and installation in various industrial settings.
Applications
Welding Defender: Acts as a durable barrier, protecting nearby surfaces and equipment from hot sparks and molten metal during welding operations, ensuring safety and reducing heat-related damage.
Heat Protection Quilt: Suitable for creating thermal insulation layers in industrial furnaces, ovens, and other high-heat equipment, retaining heat and improving operational safety.
Foundry Splash Protection: Shields workers and equipment from molten metal splashes in foundries and metal casting environments, ensuring safety in high-risk areas.
Heat Shields: Used to manufacture heat shields in high-temperature industries such as aerospace, automotive, and power generation, where heat containment is crucial.
Removable Insulation Pads: Ideal for removable insulation pads in pipes, valves, and turbines, providing effective insulation while allowing periodic maintenance without permanent installations.
Fireproof Curtains: The fabric's high heat resistance and flexibility make it perfect for fireproof curtains in industrial plants, foundries, and manufacturing facilities, offering protection from sparks, flames, and heat.
Heat Containment Wraps: Perfect for wrapping around hot pipes, or used as thermal barriers in industrial environments to prevent heat loss and improve operational efficiency.
What material is the graphite-coated cloth made from?
Answer
The cloth is manufactured from woven glass fibre and finished with a graphite coating. This combination provides a flexible high-temperature fabric with improved resistance to abrasion and wear.
Question
What is the continuous temperature limit of the cloth?
Answer
The continuous temperature resistance is up to 800°C. This is the appropriate figure to use when assessing prolonged exposure. The cloth can withstand higher temperatures for short periods, but the short-term rating should not be treated as its normal or continuous operating limit.
Question
Can the graphite-coated fiberglass cloth withstand temperatures up to 1000°C?
Answer
Yes, but only for short-term exposure. The maximum short-duration temperature is 1000°C, while the continuous resistance is limited to 800°C. Consider both the normal temperature and any temporary peaks when deciding whether this material is suitable for the required conditions.
Question
What benefit does the graphite coating provide?
Answer
The graphite coating improves the glass fibre cloth’s heat tolerance and abrasion resistance. This provides greater protection against surface wear while retaining the material’s flexibility. The coating is an integral product feature and should not be confused with a separate finish that needs to be applied after purchase.
Question
What are the thickness and width of the cloth?
Answer
The graphite-coated glass fibre cloth is 1.5mm thick and supplied at a fixed width of 1,000mm.
Question
Can the graphite-coated cloth be cut and shaped?
Answer
Yes. Despite its durable construction and abrasion-resistant coating, the cloth remains flexible and can be cut and shaped to the required dimensions. Measure the required area before cutting and include enough material for any overlaps, folds or edge allowances needed in the finished arrangement.
Question
Is the graphite-coated glass fibre cloth sold by the metre?
Answer
Yes. Enter the required number of metres when ordering. The cloth is supplied at a consistent width of 1,000mm, so the selected quantity determines its length. A complete roll contains 50 metres. Include any cutting allowance or overlap when calculating the total quantity required.
Question
What colour is the graphite-coated glass fibre cloth?
Answer
The cloth is supplied in a graphite colour created by its specialist coating. The appearance is part of the standard product specification rather than a selectable colour option.
