Medium silica fabric is an advanced textile material engineered for robust performance in challenging industrial environments. Composed of silica fibers with a silica content typically 70%, this fabric is designed to offer superior heat resistance and durability compared to standard fiberglass materials. It effectively operates at continuous service temperatures up to 800°C, making it an excellent choice for thermal insulation and protective covering applications.
The medium silica fabric is notable for its enhanced flexibility and strength, which allow it to be easily fabricated and applied to a variety of shapes and surfaces. This versatility makes it ideal for use in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing, where it serves as a critical component in fire barriers, welding curtains, and heat shield components. The fabric's inherent properties ensure it remains effective against thermal shocks and most chemical corrosions, providing a reliable solution for high-performance insulation needs.
Feature:
High-Temperature Resistance:
Can withstand temperatures ranging between 800°C to 1100°C (1470°F to 2010°F) depending on the exact composition.
Thermal Insulation:
Provides excellent heat shielding, making it ideal for thermal insulation applications.
Mechanical Strength:
It remains structurally stable under heat but may lose strength over long-term exposure to extreme temperatures.
Low Thermal Conductivity:
Effectively minimizes heat transfer, contributing to energy efficiency and safety in industrial settings.
Chemical Resistance:
Resistant to many chemicals, particularly acids, but may have reduced resistance to alkalis and some metal oxides at high temperatures.
Application:
Aerospace and Defense:
Used in thermal insulation for spacecraft, rocket nozzles, and high-speed aircraft.
Industrial Applications:
Found in insulation blankets, welding curtains, and protective clothing for workers exposed to high heat.
Automotive:
Applied as heat shields for engine compartments, turbochargers, and exhaust systems to protect components from heat damage.
Fire Protection:
Utilized in fireproof blankets, fire curtains, and other fire-resistant barriers due to its ability to endure extreme temperatures without combustion.
Energy and Power Plants:
Used to insulate pipes, boilers, and reactors in power generation facilities, especially where there is exposure to molten metals or superheated steam.
