Silicone coated fiberglass cloth, also called silicone rubber coated fiberglass cloth, is an excellent composite material which is composed of fiberglass cloth and silicone rubber. The glass fiber cloth is used as the basic material and the silicone rubber is coated or impregnated on one side or two sides of the glass fiber cloth. Being a composite material, it combines the benefits of the fiberglass cloth and the silicone rubber to create an excellent fabric with thermal insulation, high mechanical strength, good abrasive resistance and fine anti-corrosion property.

Silicone rubber coated fiberglass cloth has advantages over the uncoated fiberglass cloth. There are small fibers on the surface of the uncoated fiberglass cloth. The fibers are easy to drop from the surface of the glass fiber cloth. It also has small thorns on its surface. If you touch it, you will feel itch and the small thorns will prick your hands. With a lay of silicone rubber coating on its surface, the coated cloth feels very smooth and soft. There are no small fibers and small thorns on the surface of the fabric. The coated glass cloth will not cause skin allergy and will not feel itch when you touch it. It is oil proof, waterproof, dust free and is safer than the uncoated fiberglass cloth.

Silicone rubber fiberglass cloth is a kind of fireproof, non-combustible cloth which can resist high temperature of 260 degrees C for a long time without damage, so it can be made in to fire blanket, welding blanket, fireproof sleeves, fireproof curtains, etc. The fabric also can resist low temperature of -70 degrees C. As a hot and cold temperature resistant material, it can be made into removable insulation jacket (reusable insulation jacket) to withstand harsh temperature conditions. Removable insulation jackets (reusable insulation jackets) are mainly used for covering valves, steam pipes, meters, tanks and so on. With the removable insulation jackets covered, equipments can be exposed on the open air to withstand hot weather in summer and cold weather in winter and also withstand wind blowing and hard raining. The removable insulation jacket can be taken off easily when it needs cleaning or maintaining. Thus, it can prolong the service life of the equipments and save cost.

Silicone rubber coated fiberglass cloth has excellent corrosion resistant property. It can resist acid, alkali and other chemical substances and can be used as chemical resistant material for wrapping chemical pipelines and also can be used as lining materials for chemical reactors and other chemical equipments.

In short, silicone coated fiberglass cloth is a high performance composite material which is extensively used in aerospace, metallurgical, petrochemical industry, insulation building area, fire protection and other industrial fields.
