Suntex Silica Fabric – Reliable Fire Protection for Welding Sites
Welding generates intense sparks, molten slag, and high-temperature splashes that can easily cause fires. That's why choosing the right fire-resistant fabric is critical. Among all options, silica fabric stands out as the most reliable solution.
Suntex silica fabric is made of inorganic fibers with a silica (SiO₂) content of up to 96%. Its softening point reaches nearly 1700°C (3092°F). It can be used long-term at 1000°C and short-term at 1200°C without melting or shrinking.
Unlike ordinary coated fire blankets that may harden or burn through, Suntex silica fabric remains flexible, strong, and non-combustible under extreme heat. It effectively blocks welding sparks, slag, and radiant heat, creating a safe and clean work environment. It also provides light shielding and helps separate work zones.
Suntex fabric is easy to cut, install, and reuse. Thanks to its excellent thermal stability, acid resistance, and non-flammability, it is widely used in aerospace, metallurgy, chemical processing, and industrial fire protection.
For welding safety that you can trust – choose Suntex silica fabric.
