Silicate Fibre Fabric 1,200°C

Silicate Fibre Fabric, up to 1,200 °C

Silicate fibre-based textiles have different thermal, physical and mechanial properties, depending upon their content of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Silica is described as “pure” where its total content in a product exceeds 99.95 %; below this quantity, the product is described as “lixiviated silica” or “pure silica”. 

Final Advanced Materials supplies two silicate products, with a 98 % and 94 % SiO₂ content, for the effective fulfilment of all requirements. S98 products are comprised of over 98 % silica. They are suitable for high-temperature applications up to 1,200 °C. S94 products contain over 94 % SiO₂, and function as excellent thermal insulators at temperatures up to 1,100 °C. 

Silicate fibre products are inorganic, and contain no toxic substances (asbestos-free) or irritants. The good thermal and mechanical properties of these products make them excellent replacements for asbestos-based products. With a diameter ranging from 6 to 9 μm, these fibres pose no hazard to health. In comparative terms, silicate fibre-based textiles have superior high-temperature resistance to biosoluble fibre textiles.

Applications of Silicate Fabric

• Heat shield
• High temperature protection
