What Is Amorphous Silica Fabric and Where Is It Used?
Amorphous silica fabric is a high-temperature woven textile engineered for extreme heat protection applications. It is widely used in welding protection, furnace insulation, exhaust heat shielding, fire barriers and industrial thermal management systems.
BSTFLEX supplies high silica fabric and engineered silica fabric materials including 96% silica, 70% silica, aluminum foil laminated, silicone coated, vermiculite coated and adhesive backed structures for industrial applications.
What Is Amorphous Silica Fabric?
Amorphous silica fabric is made from high-purity silica yarn with a non-crystalline structure. This allows the fabric to maintain thermal stability under continuous high temperature exposure without melting or significant shrinkage.
Compared with standard fiberglass fabric, high silica fabric provides significantly higher temperature resistance and better performance in molten splash, flame exposure and radiant heat environments.
Key Types of Silica Fabric
