Silicone Coated Glass Fibre Cloth

Silicone Coated Glass Fibre Cloth - Double-Sided Protection

Vitcas Silicone Coated Cloth is a premium-grade fabric designed for demanding industrial applications, offering exceptional performance in environments exposed to high temperatures, moisture, and harsh chemicals. Made from robust fibreglass and coated with silicone on both sides, this durable cloth is available in red or grey, making it ideal for a wide range of thermal insulation and sealing solutions.

Key Characteristics

• High Temperature Resistance: The fibreglass core can resist temperatures up to 550°C (1020°F), while the silicone coating on both sides provides continuous temperature resistance up to 260°C (500°F), with short-term exposure limits reaching 310°C (590°F).

• Water Repellence: The silicone coating on both sides ensures the material is water-resistant, preventing moisture ingress and maintaining its integrity in humid or wet conditions.

• Chemical Resistance: Designed to resist degradation from a wide variety of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and corrosive substances, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh industrial settings.

• Abrasion Resistance: The fibreglass core combined with silicone coating offers excellent abrasion resistance, preventing wear and tear from mechanical stresses and extending the product's lifespan.

Applications

Silicone Coated Cloth is versatile and widely used in industries requiring reliable protection against heat, chemicals, and mechanical damage. Its double-sided silicone coating enhances its utility in a range of demanding applications, including:

• Expansion Joints in Fabrics: Ideal for fabric-based expansion joints in ductwork and piping systems, absorbing movement and thermal expansion without compromising the system's structural integrity.

• Insulation Jackets: Used in the fabrication of removable insulation jackets, the cloth provides a protective layer that enhances thermal insulation and prevents heat loss in industrial systems such as boilers, valves, and flanges.

• Fire Doors and Fire Curtains: Essential in the manufacture of fire-resistant doors and curtains, the silicone-coated fibreglass cloth provides critical fire protection, helping to contain flames and reduce heat transfer in case of a fire emergency.
