Silicate Fibre Felt 1,200 °C

Silicate Fibre Felts, heat-resistant up to 1,200 °C

Silicate is a mineral made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and other metallic oxides, such as magnesium, calcium, aluminium, etc. Silicate fibre textiles offer different physical, thermal and mechanical properties depending on their level of silicon dioxide.

Known for their great thermal properties, silicate fibres can withstand higher temperatures than glass fibre or biosoluble fibre. These inorganic fibres pose no health risk when handling and don’t contain toxic substances. They also offer excellent chemical and mechanical properties, that therefore offer a reliable alternative to ceramic fibre.

Silicate fibre felts are suitable for high-temperature applications thanks to their thermal resistivity. As they can withstand operating temperatures up to 1,100 °C and peak temperatures up to 1,200 °C, they are used in the industry for the assembly of heat protection as well as thermal insulation. Their good properties also make it possible to use silicate fibre felts for soundproofing and electrical insulation.

Final Advanced Materials proposes silicate fibre felts in thicknesses ranging from 3 to 25 mm and without an organic binder. However, a mechanical bonding of the fibres provides felts that are soft, compact and stable during their processing.
