Silicone Coated Silica Fabric is a high-temperature insulation cloth manufactured from 96% silica fiber fabric with a durable silicone rubber coating. Designed for extreme heat and flame exposure environments, this silicone coated silica cloth provides enhanced abrasion resistance, waterproof protection, and improved molten splash durability compared to uncoated silica fabric.
It is widely used for welding blankets, fire curtains, removable insulation jackets, and industrial thermal barriers requiring reliable fire-resistant performance.
Silicone Coated Silica Fabric is a high-temperature insulation material manufactured from 96% high-purity silica fiber cloth coated with durable silicone rubber. This advanced composite structure provides enhanced flame resistance, improved abrasion durability, and superior molten splash protection compared to uncoated silica fabric.
Designed for extreme industrial environments, silicone coated silica cloth is widely used in welding protection, furnace insulation barriers, fire curtains, and removable thermal insulation systems.
The core fabric is composed of 96% silica fiber, offering:
Continuous temperature resistance up to 1000°C (1832°F)
Low thermal conductivity
Minimal shrinkage under prolonged heat exposure
Excellent dimensional stability
Non-combustible structure
Silica fiber fabric delivers significantly higher temperature performance than standard fiberglass cloth.
The silicone coating enhances:
Flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties
Resistance to molten metal splash
Improved surface abrasion resistance
Waterproof and oil-resistant performance
Increased flexibility for fabrication
This combination ensures both thermal insulation and mechanical durability.
Silicone Coated Silica Fabric is engineered for demanding thermal conditions:
Continuous working temperature up to 260–300°C on coated surface

What is silicone coated silica fabric used for?
It is used for high-temperature insulation, welding protection, and molten splash barriers.
Is silicone coated silica cloth fire resistant?
Yes. The silica base is non-combustible, and the silicone coating enhances flame resistance.
How is it different from vermiculite coated silica fabric?
Silicone coating improves waterproofing and flexibility, while vermiculite coating enhances molten splash resistance.
Can it be used for removable insulation jackets?
Yes. It is commonly used in industrial insulation covers.
What temperature can it withstand?
The silica base withstands up to 1000°C, while the silicone surface is rated up to approximately 260–300°C.
Silicone Coated Silica Fabric combines high-purity silica fiber heat resistance with durable silicone coating protection. It provides reliable high-temperature insulation, flame resistance, and surface durability for demanding industrial applications.
