Silicone Coated Woven Silica Fabric for Heat, Flame & Welding Protection

Silicone Coated Woven Silica Fabric is a premium high-temperature protective textile engineered for applications requiring extreme heat resistance combined with surface sealing and environmental protection. By applying a silicone rubber coating to woven silica fabric, this material delivers excellent thermal stability, improved flexibility, and enhanced resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.

It is specifically designed for harsh industrial environments where uncoated silica fabric alone is not sufficient.

Product Description

Woven silica fabric is widely recognized for its ability to withstand continuous high temperatures and intense radiant heat. However, in applications involving moisture, oil exposure, dust, or frequent handling, untreated silica fabric may experience reduced durability.

The silicone coating forms a resilient, flexible barrier on the fabric surface. This coating improves mechanical strength, reduces fiber shedding, and provides additional protection against water, oils, chemicals, and environmental contaminants—while preserving the inherent high-temperature performance of silica fibers.

Key Features

• Exceptional High-Temperature Resistance
  Woven silica base fabric withstands continuous exposure to extreme heat, making it suitable for demanding thermal environments.

• Silicone Surface Protection
  The silicone coating seals the fabric surface, improving resistance to moisture, oil, chemicals, and light abrasion.

• Improved Flexibility & Handling
  Compared to uncoated silica fabric, the silicone-coated version offers better drape, reduced fraying, and easier fabrication.

• Flame & Radiant Heat Shielding
  Provides reliable protection against direct flame, radiant heat, and hot gas exposure.

• Reduced Fiber Dust
  Surface coating minimizes fiber release, improving workplace safety and cleanliness.
