Vermiculite-Coated Fiberglass Fabric: Redefining the Standard for Flexible Protection at 800℃
In the fields of industrial manufacturing, high-temperature operations, and specialized safety protection, the demand for extreme material performance is increasingly stringent. Traditional materials often struggle to balance high-temperature resistance, flexibility, strength, and corrosion resistance. A composite material crafted through innovative technology—Vermiculite-Coated Fiberglass Fabric—is becoming a reliable solution for extreme working conditions thanks to its outstanding comprehensive performance.
Core Composition: The Intelligent Fusion of Natural Mineral and Technical Fiber
This product is not merely a simple material composite but a leap in performance enhancement. It uses high-strength, excellently insulating alkali-free fiberglass fabric as its foundational framework, providing inherent toughness and strength. Building on this, a suspension made from natural vermiculite mineral is uniformly applied and cured onto the fiber surface through a specialized process.
This critical vermiculite coating acts as a "transforming touch." As a natural inorganic silicate mineral, vermiculite possesses extremely high thermal stability and fire resistance. It is like equipping the fiberglass fabric with a sturdy "mineral armor," leading to a qualitative leap in its properties:
-
Significantly Elevated Temperature Limit: It advances from the temperature range of ordinary fiberglass fabric to achieve stable operation at a continuous 800℃, and can even withstand short-term exposure to extreme heat impacts up to 1000℃, while being non-combustible itself.
-
Multiple Protective Enhancements: The coating grants the product excellent resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, wear, and aging, and enables it to resist splash erosion from molten metals.
-
More Comprehensive Performance: While maintaining the fiberglass fabric's good electrical insulation, dimensional stability, and machinability, it further strengthens thermal insulation, sealing, and puncture resistance.
