Exceptional Thermal & Flame ResistanceGlass fabrics provide unwavering performance in environments up to 550C, with a melting point of approximately 840C. Non-combustible and crafted for superior fire safety, they deliver reliable protection for applications in insulation and fireproofing. Their low thermal conductivity also enhances energy efficiency in industrial settings.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesWhether for industrial insulation, roofing, electrical insulation, or composite reinforcement, these fabrics adapt easily thanks to customizable dimensions, various coatings, and form factors like rolls, sheets, and cut pieces. Compatible with common resin systems, they integrate seamlessly into manufacturing processes.
Engineered for Durability and LongevityWith high tensile strength, low moisture absorption, and strong UV stability when coated, glass fabrics are engineered to last. Their woven construction, available in multiple thicknesses and surface treatments, resists wear and maintains performance under demanding conditions.
FAQs of Glass Fabrics:
Q: How are glass fabrics with high tensile strength used in industrial applications?
A: These fabrics are commonly employed for industrial insulation, fireproofing, roofing, and electrical insulation. Their high tensile strength ensures structural reliability in demanding conditions, while their compatibility with epoxy and polyester resins makes them suitable for composite fabrication and lightweight structural components.
Q: What makes glass fabrics flame resistant and suitable for high-temperature environments?
A: Manufactured from E-Glass fibres, glass fabrics are inherently non-combustible and withstand continuous working temperatures up to 550C. Their melting point of approximately 840C, along with low thermal conductivity, makes them ideal for thermal and fire protection applications.
Q: When should I choose a coated versus uncoated glass fabric?
A: Coated fabrics (such as silicon, PTFE, or graphite) provide enhanced UV stability, chemical resistance, and surface protection for challenging environments. Uncoated fabrics are suitable when such protection is unnecessary or when direct resin compatibility is required.
Q: Where are glass fabrics commonly installed or applied?
A: Glass fabrics are used in a variety of industrial locations, including manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, construction sites for roofing, and in composite workshops for reinforcement or insulation purposes.
Q: What is the process for customizing glass fabrics to specific requirements?
A: The manufacturer can customize dimensions (length, width, thickness), coatings, and packaging based on customer needs. Customers specify size (widths from 1m to 2m, thickness from 0.1mm to 3mm), coating type, and desired form (rolls, sheets, cut pieces), with weight per roll also adjustable.
Q: How does water absorption and moisture resistance benefit glass fabrics in humid environments?
A: With water absorption below 0.1% and excellent moisture resistance, glass fabrics retain mechanical properties and dimensional stability in damp or humid environments, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
