Glass Fabric – Versatile, durable, and innovative
Glass fabrics are high-performance materials that have become indispensable in numerous industries and application areas due to their exceptional properties. Made from three different types of glass, glass fabrics stand out especially for their high temperature resistance, strength, durability, and flexibility. Depending on the application, various types of glass are available, differing in terms of temperature resistance, specific properties, and individual coating options.
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.
