Silicone cloth

Silicone cloth

The silicone refractory fabric is made of fiberglass cloth and covered with a layer of silicone rubber. For this reason, the unique properties of fiberglass fibers in this product are clearly visible, and also, the use of silicone resin, greatly increases the flexibility of this refractory fabric. This product is completely asbestos-free and therefore environmentally friendly. This is one of the main reasons for the popularity of silicone fabric among various industries.

Pars Sanat Refractory Store is ready to provide consulting, sales and delivery of silicone refractory fabrics in various dimensions and thicknesses, all over the country.

Refractory fabrics, as their name implies, are made of refractory yarns and therefore have high thermal resistance and are often used to insulate various parts and equipment. Other positive and significant features of refractory fabrics include low smoke emission in hot environments or exposure to fire, maintaining dimensional stability in different environmental conditions, in addition to optimal resistance to chemical agents, wear and pressure. Despite the high heat tolerance of these refractory products, it is still possible to sometimes add some materials to their composition, improve some of their advantages, including their mechanical and chemical properties, and provide the basis for their wider use in various areas of industry, according to customer needs. Appeared.

The presence of various types of refractory fabrics in the market has made it possible for buyers to find the product they want with the best quality according to the existing conditions and needs. In this article, we intend to review silicone refractory fabric, as one of the most popular refractory products among customers.

As mentioned earlier, fiberglass refractory is the raw material for the production of silicone fabric. Thermal and chemical resistance, along with strong fibers and resistance to X-rays, alpha and infrared, make silicon refractory fabric one of the most popular refractory fabrics. At the same time, the silicone resin coating improves the tensile strength, chemical resistance, heat tolerance and strength of this refractory fabric and makes this refractory fabric waterproof.

The combination of two materials with several positive properties has led to the use of silicone fabric in various industries, which we will discuss some of the most important of them:

Insulation in induction furnaces
Production of fire curtains
Provide safety clothing and equipment, including sewing firefighting clothing and gloves
Production of blanket insulation
Thermal curtains in industrial furnaces
Prepare the conveyor
Making fireproof bags for oily materials
Production of expansion joints
Making insulation mats, pads and coats
Before examining the characteristic features of this fabric, we will first have a brief look at the raw materials used in this product.

Fiberglass, or fiberglass, is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as insulation, welding, the production of safety clothing, and the production of various refractory products. This product, despite its low price, in addition to significant resistance to chemical agents, has a high resistance to high temperatures up to about 650 degrees Celsius. Also, it does not emit smoke or toxic substances, even when exposed to high temperatures or near fire. The fibers of this refractory material, even if it is small in thickness, still provide the possibility of electrical insulation. The strength of fiberglass fibers is such that its strength is also known as steel. On the other hand, fiberglass does not rot and is not attacked by insects and vermin. This popular refractory is one of the most suitable alternatives to asbestos fibers.

Another material used in the preparation of silicone refractory fabric is silicone resin, which is used in various fields such as aerospace, transportation, construction, health and electronics. Although this tire has high thermal and electrical resistance, its physical strength has been reported to be lower than other tires. The main reason for combining this rubber material with fiberglass fibers is to eliminate this defect.

In fact, covering fiberglass refractory fabric with a layer of silicone rubber is done for several purposes:

Increase the physical strength of silicon fibers
Improves the strength of fiberglass fibers
Increase the flexibility of fireproof fabric
It is suggested to read more about these two refractory materials, fiberglass refractory fabric article, and silicone refractory fabric article, from Pars Sanat refractory website.

Refractory fiberglass cloth impregnated with silicone resin is also known as refractory tarpaulin. This type of fabric, which is produced in various thicknesses, between 0.4 to 1 mm and a width of 1 meter, is offered to the market in the form of two products based on the existing needs and environmental conditions; Single silicone fireproof fabric or double silicone fireproof fabric.

Now that we are familiar with the properties of the raw materials of this popular product, in the following, we will examine the characteristics of the silicone refractory fabric index:

Optimal heat tolerance; Of course, in this case, we must note that the thermal resistance of silicon is about 300 degrees Celsius and the heat tolerance of fiberglass is 650 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it should not be forgotten that if we cover one side of the fiberglass cloth with silicone resin, the tolerable temperature on that side will be 300 degrees and the other side will withstand 650 degrees. Likewise, the thermal resistance in double silicone fabric will be 300 degrees Celsius. In total, the thermal tolerance of this product has been estimated in the temperature range of minus 50 to positive 250 ° C.
High flexibility due to the presence of silicone resin
Good mechanical properties and relative and acceptable strength Against abrasion and tension
Chemical resistance to most acidic and alkaline environments
Waterproof
Oil resistance
Resistance to X-rays, alpha and infrared
Non-stick; Although this advantage of silicone fabric is better than Teflon, the abrasion resistance of this fabric is less than Teflon.
