E-Glass Fibre Fabrics

E-glass fibre fabrics, up to 700 °C

Since 1930, E-glass fibre has been used in the industry for its great electrical insulation properties. This rot-proof fibre can resist high temperatures as well as the main chemical agents and remains dimensionally stable, even with strong variations in humidity and temperature.

E-glass fibre fabrics are particularly attractive for their electrical properties, their thermal resistivity and their chemical resistance. Moreover, they can withstand peak temperatures up to 700 °C and present noteworthy mechanical properties. In the industry, E-glass fibre fabrics have many applications, like the manufacture of gaskets, compensators, thermal reflectors or protective clothing.

At Final Advanced Materials, E-glass fibre fabrics are manufactured using E-glass filaments with a diameter ranging from 6 to 9 µm. This composition prevents the risks of build-up in the respiratory system and skin irritation.

Our E-glass fibre fabrics are available untreated or with a vermiculite, silicone or aluminised finish. These coatings enhance some of the fabrics’ properties, like the resistance to high temperatures or abrasion.

For more information regarding the availability, refer to the technical data sheet.

     E-glass fibre fabric with a silicone coating

A silicone coating enhances the performance of E-glass fibre. This polymer derived from silicon improves the resistance of glass fibre against weather conditions, aqueous solutions, weak acids and bases. A textile coated with silicone can withstand temperatures up to 250 °C.

     E-glass fibre fabric with a vermiculite coating

A vermiculite coating improves the performance of E-glass fibre. This natural mineral enhances its resistance to abrasion and its ability to withstand high temperatures. An E-glass fibre fabric coated with vermiculite can be used for the manufacture of gaskets, compensators or protective clothing.

     E-glass fibre fabric with an aluminised side

When coated on one or both sides of an E-glass fibre fabric, aluminium improves the performance of the fibre. This treatment enhances its resistance to radiant heat up to 1,650 °C. Aluminium also boosts the fabric’s resistance to flame and splashes of molten metal.

     Applications of E-glass fibre fabrics

• Gasket
• Compensators
• Heat reflectors
• Curtains
• Blankets
• Protective clothing
