Texturised Glass Fabrics, Vermiculite Finish

Download datasheet as PDF

Construction:

Saveguard Texturised Glass Fabrics are manufactured from high performance 9 micron E’ Glass filament texturised yarns. The glass filaments are assembled and voluminised by passing over high pressure air jets to produce a lofted yarn with outstanding insulation properties. These yarns are then closely woven to produce a soft, durable and flexible fabric that can be readily treated or coated to further enhance its properties.

Saveguard vermiculite coated glass fabrics are tough, durable and resist metal splash and welding spatter. Vermiculite coated glass fabrics are capable of withstanding temperatures of 1000C for short periods and make an ideal material for fire barriers and welding curtains.

Properties:

Glass Yarns have a minimal amount of surface dressing to assist in processing, this is usually organic i.e. starch or silane and will disappear at temperatures above 200C.  Untreated Glass Fabrics are suitable for continuous use at temperatures of up to 550C however tensile strength continues to reduce noticeably as temperatures increase above 400C.

Base Fabric:

E Glass Fibres:

are resistant to oils, solvents and most chemicals although contact with hydrofluoric acids, strong alkalis and live steam should be avoided.

are non combustible.

have a low thermal conductivity

Finish:

A specially formulated, fine vermiculite dispersion that encapsulate the glass fibres and greatly increases resistance to abrasion and temperature. In tests, glass fabric coated with this product has retained its integrity after exposure to a propane blowtorch for 60 minutes at temperatures of 1100O C. However the fabric does become brittle locally after exposure to these extreme temperatures and are not recommended for applications where flexibility is important at high temperatures
