Texturised Glass Fabrics, Weavelock 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 Weavelock finish is an organic coating designed to improve fray resistance when sewing or handling, however the finish burns off at relatively low temperatures

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.
