Carbon, Glass, or Aramid? And why fire protection matters.

When selecting high-performance fibers, the choice often comes down to three options:

Carbon fiber: Light, strong, stiff, but brittle and flammable.

Glass fiber: Insulating, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective, yet also brittle.

Aramid fiber: High strength, impact-resistant, and chemically stable — ideal for ballistic protection.

Each has its place in aerospace, construction, or protective equipment. But when the requirement is fire resistance across extreme temperatures, material selection is only half the story.

That's where Suntex comes in.

With products covering -70°C to 1700°C, Suntex manufactures high-performance fireproof fabrics based on fiberglass, aramid, and ceramic fibers. Key solutions include:

550°C coatings for removable insulation covers and welding blankets

800°C vermiculite-coated fabric for high-temperature filtration and welding protection

EV fire blankets tested to withstand EV flames for 60+ minutes at 1000°C+

Certified with Class A fire ratings (China and SGS), Suntex serves clients across 68 countries, including Samsung, Marubeni and CNNC.

Whether you're in oil & gas, marine, power generation, or EV infrastructure, the right fiber + the right fire protection makes all the difference.
