In demanding industrial environments, where extreme heat and mechanical stress are constant challenges, one material stands out—woven silica fabric. Known for its exceptional thermal stability and strength, woven silica fabric is a premium choice for insulation, heat shielding, and fire protection across various sectors. What is Woven Silica Fabric? Woven silica fabric is a high-performance textile made from amorphous silica fibers with a purity of over 96% SiO₂. These fibers are woven into flexible, durable cloth that can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F), and short-term exposures up to 1650°C (3000°F). This makes it an ideal solution for environments where traditional fiberglass or ceramic materials may fail. Key Features High Heat Resistance: Continuous use at 1000°C, excellent for furnace insulation and welding protection. Low Thermal Conductivity: Provides outstanding thermal insulation and energy savings. Chemical Stability: Resistant to most acids and alkalis, ensuring long service life in corrosive environments.
