Technical glass fabrics made of E-glass, HR-glass, and silica – with high-performance coatings for industrial high-temperature applications
Technical glass fabrics are versatile high-performance materials designed for industrial applications with demanding thermal, mechanical, and chemical requirements. They are made from various types of glass – including E-glass, HR-glass, and silica glass – each distinguished by specific properties and suitable temperature ranges. For example, E-glass is suitable for temperatures up to approximately 600 °C, while HR-glass fabrics withstand up to 800 °C, and silica fabrics can handle over 1000 °C, making them ideal for particularly critical environments. By combining these fabrics with functional coatings – such as silicone, PU, aluminum, vermiculite, graphite, or calcium silicate – their properties can be further enhanced: improving abrasion and cut resistance, moisture or chemical resistance, heat reflection, or sliding behavior. The selection of the glass base and coating is carefully tailored to the specific load and application conditions. Typical areas of use include thermal insulation in process industries, heat protection in welding technology, smoke and fire protection systems, flexible expansion joints, protective covers for pipes, machinery or plant components, as well as textile fire protection curtains. Our product range includes a wide variety of qualities – from raw fabrics to highly specialized composite solutions – suited for temperature ranges from 150 °C up to over 1200 °C.
E-Glass 600 °C
E-glass is the most widely used material for glass fabrics. It offers an excellent combination of strength, flexibility, and electrical insulation. Particularly noteworthy is its heat resistance of up to 600 °C, making it ideal for numerous industrial applications, such as in construction or the automotive industry.
HR-Glass 800 °C
For applications that require higher temperature resistance, HR-glass (High Resistance Glass) is used. This material can withstand temperatures of up to 800 °C without losing mechanical stability. It is often used in demanding environments, such as mechanical engineering or high-temperature systems.
Silica Glass 1000+ °C
For extreme temperature demands, glass fabric made from silica glass (SiO2 glass) is the ideal choice. This specialized material withstands temperatures exceeding 1000 °C and is therefore used in aerospace applications, welder protection materials, and thermal insulation of blast furnaces and other extreme environments.
