Vermiculite Coated Silica Fiber Cloth is a high-temperature insulation fabric made from 96% silica fiber cloth with a protective vermiculite coating. Designed for extreme heat and molten metal environments, this fabric provides enhanced spark resistance, improved surface durability, and superior thermal stability compared to uncoated silica cloth.
It is widely used for welding blankets, fire curtains, furnace insulation barriers, and molten splash protection in demanding industrial applications.
Vermiculite Coated Silica Fiber Cloth is a high-temperature insulation fabric engineered for enhanced flame resistance and molten metal splash protection. Manufactured from 96% high-purity silica fiber cloth and coated with vermiculite, this material provides improved thermal performance and surface durability in extreme industrial environments.
It is widely used for welding blankets, furnace insulation barriers, fire curtains, and high-heat protection applications where additional resistance to sparks and molten splash is required.
The base material consists of 96% silica fiber cloth, offering:
Continuous temperature resistance up to 1000°C (1832°F)
Low thermal conductivity
