Grey Fireproof Heat Resistant Thermal Insulator Materials Expansion Joint

Silicone Coated Fiberglass Fabrics can be fabricated from a wide range of materials depending upon the system temperature and specific service environment. The insulation jackets are made from various grades of industrial woven fiberglass fabric, encapsulating high temperature insulation.

Silicone impregnated fiberglass cloth jacketing provides excellent oil, moisture and abrasion resistance, while PTFE coated fiberglass is recommended for corrosive environments. Fiberglass cloths laminated with metal foil are also available for applications requiring a vapor or hydrocarbon barrier. Hot Caps are used in applications ranging from cryogenic temperatures to 2300 degrees Fahrenheit plus.

Materials that resist catching fire, burn slowly, or retard burning can be described as either "incombustible", "non-flammable", or "fire-retardant". "Self-extinguishing" materials cease burning once the flame or heat source is removed. "Fireproof" is understood to mean that an object cannot burn, but few materials are truly fireproof.

Most of our products fall within one or more of the above descriptions: they resist high temperature, flame, fire, molten metal splash and weld splatter very well but may melt with prolonged exposures past their designed maximum continuous operating temperature. Using our products to retain heat or cold within pipes, hoses, enclosures or equipment helps conserve energy and resources, and reduces operating costs.
