Fiberglass cloth

Fiberglass refractory fabric, which is one of the most popular refractory fabrics on the market, is produced from fiberglass or glass fibers, which is an inorganic compound, and is widely used in various industries.

What has made refractory fabrics as a practical tool in thermal insulation of parts and industrial equipment has been the use of refractory yarns in their production. These strong fibers, in addition to high heat tolerance and resistance in high temperature environments, also withstand and neutralize the pressure on the parts; In this way, it increases their lifespan. Other strengths of using fireproof fabrics are maintaining dimensional stability in different conditions, along with optimal physical strength and low smoke emission in the face of fire. Today, the existence of fireproof fabrics with different characteristics, allows buyers to choose freely according to different needs and conditions. One of the most widely used refractory products in various industries is fiberglass fabric, which we intend to examine in this article.

Pars Refractory Store is ready to provide advice, sell and send fiberglass refractory fabric in various dimensions and thicknesses, all over the country.

Although the history of the production and use of fiberglass dates back to many years ago, from the end of the twentieth century, when the general use of asbestos was banned, fiberglass had a special place in the production of refractory fabrics. In the last years of the twentieth century, numerous reports sent to medical centers about the occurrence of lung diseases such as asbestosis among people who dealt with asbestos, led to extensive research by scientists and finally revealed the destructive effects of this refractory on human health and Became the environment. Following this scientific finding, the general use of asbestos was banned and its use was allowed only in places that are out of reach of humans and without contact with nature. Meanwhile, fiberglass, which in addition to having the same heat tolerance as asbestos and safe for the environment, also had high cohesion, easy installation and good heat transfer, quickly became an environmentally friendly refractory in the field of insulation. Asbestos was used instead. Another reason for the popularity of fiberglass or glass fibers was its low and affordable price.

Fiberglass fibers are produced in six categories with different properties and therefore applications. Often, high quality C-glass or E-glass is used to make fiberglass fireproof fabric. The main characteristics of these two types of fiberglass fibers are similar to each other and both have high resistance to high temperature and flame; However, the chemical properties of C-glass type are better and this has led to its presence in laboratory environments.

Generally, fiberglass fabric can easily withstand high temperatures up to 537 degrees Celsius. For this reason, it is widely used to protect and insulate parts such as pipes, hoses, wires and cables, or to provide blankets, covers, and welding curtains. Of course, as mentioned earlier, type C fiberglass fabric has more applications in chemical environments due to its unique chemical properties and resistance to most acidic and alkaline materials.

The refractory yarns used in the production of fiberglass fabrics are made by special spinning machines. These strong yarns, which have a thickness of about 0.5 mm, are woven by the weaving machine according to the customer's needs, in one of three forms: taropodi, diagonal or satin.

If the customer needs extraordinary strength and easy cutting, taropodi texture is suitable for him. In this type of weaving, the fibers are woven together at a 90 degree angle. Of course, the flexibility of this texture is less than other types. Now, if the consumer's goal is high flexibility, satin texture will be a good option. The diagonal texture of fiberglass refractory fabrics provides good flexibility and easy cutting.

It is suggested to read more about this type of refractory fabric, fiberglass refractory fabric, from Pars Sanat refractory website.

Here's a look at the many features of fiberglass refractory fabric:

Good heat tolerance; Dimensions, thickness and texture of the fabric affect this resistance, and therefore, temperatures between 450 and 650 ° C can be considered the threshold of thermal resistance of fiberglass refractory fabric.
Maintain dimensional stability up to minus 50 degrees Celsius
low weight
Optimal chemical resistance; Especially in the type of C-glass
Oxidation resistance
High mechanical strength and tensile strength
High pressure resistance
Electrical insulation
Waterproof
Impermeable to ultraviolet light
Optimal flexibility
Ability to needle and sew and dose
Despite the many advantages of these fabrics, they are sometimes impregnated or coated with other refractory materials, such as silver silicon, Teflon, graphite or vermiculite, to reinforce the positive properties of fiberglass refractory.

This type of refractory fabric is marketed in width of 1 to 2 meters and thickness between 0.2 to 5 mm.

It is recommended to read more articles about fiberglass fabrics, articles of fiberglass refractory fabrics, and carbon fiberglass fireproof fabrics from the Pars Refractory website.

Now that we are more or less familiar with the salient features of fiberglass or glass refractory fabric, we can take a look at some of its applications in various fields of industry:

Insulation of parts at high temperatures
Production of sealing washers
Sealing the stove door
Production of welding curtains and blankets
Manufacture of fireproof clothing and firefighting equipment, such as masks and hands

Elastic, due to its light weight and acupuncture properties
Reinforcement of resistive composites
Production of expansion joints
Insulation and sealing in laboratory and sanitary environments
Exhaust insulation
Petrochemical Industries
Power plants
