Silicone Coated Fabrics, heat resistant and chemical resistant
Silicone coated fabrics is widely used to make into curtains for heat shrink tunnel and as outer layer of insulation joints and insulation valves, silicone coated fiberglass cloth is high temperature resistant, waterproof, high abrasion resistant, high strength and chemical resistant, ideal to be used in harsh industry environment as a protective material. Silicone fabric is easy to cut and sew, can be customized to different shapes or make into chemical tanks.
Advantage of Silicone Coated Fiberglass
Heat Resistance and cold resistance
Resistant from all chemicals include strong acid and alkali
High abrasion resistant, longer lifetime
Strong basic fiberglass material, durable silicone rubber coating
Excellent water and oil resistance
Provide protection for workers from being hurt by heat
Flexible and soft, easy to cut and sew

Silicone coated fabrics is divided into silicone rubber fabric in matt surface and silicone coated fiberglass fabric in glossy surface. Here is difference between these two silicone fabrics:
1. Temperature: Matt silicone coated glass cloth can be long time used under temperature 280 ℃ and resist max temperature up to 300℃; Glossy silicone coated fabrics can resist temperature max 260℃
Surface: Surface of glossy silicone fiberglass is smooth and little self-sticky; Matt silicone impregnated fabric has fabric grains on the surface, but it is little more dust-free than glossy one.
