In modern industry and everyday life, there is a growing demand for high-performance materials, especially in areas where extreme temperatures and harsh environments need to be dealt with. Among the many innovative materials, High Silicone Fiberglass fabrics are standing out with their outstanding properties as a key solution for high-temperature protection.

High Silicone Fiberglass: A Fusion of Innovative Materials
High Silicone Fiberglass is a high-performance composite material that combines the inherent heat resistance and strength of glass fiber with the versatile protective properties of silicone rubber. The base of this material is usually made of high-strength E-glass or S-glass fibers, which are themselves known for their outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. The overall performance of this composite is significantly enhanced by coating the glass fiber base fabric with silicone rubber .

The silicone coating imparts a number of enhanced properties to the fabric:
Excellent heat resistance: Silicone coating further enhances the material’s ability to withstand heat. While the fiberglass substrate itself can withstand continuous temperatures up to 550°C (1,000°F), the silicone coating allows it to withstand continuous temperatures up to 260°C (500°F), and even up to 550°C (1,022°F) for a single-side coated product.
Enhanced flexibility and durability: Silicone coatings give fabrics greater flexibility, tear strength and puncture resistance, allowing them to maintain their integrity under physical stress.
Outstanding chemical and water resistance: The coating provides excellent water and oil repellency and resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for industrial environments where moisture or lubricants are present.
Low Smoke Emissions: The fiberglass itself is composed of inorganic materials that do not burn, emit flammable gases or contribute to the spread of fire in a flame, thus avoiding fire hazards.

Wide range of application scenarios
With its unique combination of properties, High Silicone Fiberglass fabrics are used in a wide range of environments where high temperatures or flame exposure are critical.
Industrial protection: Widely used as welding curtains, safety shields, fire blankets and drop cloths to protect workers, machinery and flammable materials from heat, sparks, molten metal and embers.
Insulation: Used in the manufacture of removable insulation blankets and gaskets, furnace seals, pipe insulation, engine exhaust hoods and gaskets, etc., providing reliable sealing and insulation in high temperature and high pressure environments.
Automotive: Plays a key role in electric vehicle (EV) thermal management systems and battery shielding to reduce fire risk and heat stress.
Construction: Used in low-smoke buildings and fire barriers to improve the fire safety of buildings.
Others: Also includes hose covers, electrical insulation, medical equipment, aerospace equipment, and outdoor camping fire mats.

High Silicone Fiberglass fabrics have become an indispensable advanced material for modern thermal protection due to their excellent heat resistance, flexibility, durability and environmental resistance. It not only enhances operational safety in high-temperature environments, but also optimizes the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes, and is expected to continue to play a key role in the future.
