Glass Fiber Raw Fabric
Our glass fiber raw fabrics are versatile and high-performance materials that find wide application in various industrial uses. Made from high-quality glass fibers, our raw fabrics—E-glass fibers up to 600 °C, HR-glass fibers up to 800 °C, and silica glass fibers up to 1000+ °C—offer excellent strength, high heat resistance, and chemical resistance. Glass fiber raw fabrics serve as the basis for a variety of technical textiles, which can be optimized with individual coatings for various application areas.
Material | Glass fabric, made from smooth (GF) or textured (GT) yarns |
Production qualities | 200 - 2000 g/m² |

Temperature resistance (fabric) | 600 - 1000+ °C |
Technical Characteristics
- Glass fabrics can withstand temperatures ranging from 600 °C to over 1000 °C, depending on the material used, without losing mechanical strength.
- Glass fabrics are non-combustible and have generally good thermal stability.
- Glass fabrics have high tensile and tear strength, as well as generally high mechanical strength, making them ideal for applications with mechanical loads.
- Resistant to weather influences, UV radiation, and a variety of chemicals, oils, fats, and solvents.
- Excellent thermal insulation properties that help minimize heat loss.
- Glass fabrics can be cut and processed with standard tools and can be further processed into additional products using industrial sewing machines.
Application Examples
- Glass fiber raw fabrics serve as a base material for various fabric types with different coating options such as PU, silicone, aluminum, calcium silicate, vermiculite, graphite, and more.
- Used as heat protection curtains or blankets in the welding and metalworking industry.
- Protective covers for machines exposed to high temperatures.
- Thermal insulation of pipelines to minimize heat loss.
- Insulation of catalysts and exhaust systems in vehicles.
- As fire protection curtains or blankets in industrial environments.
- Manufacturing of compensators for the chemical industry that must withstand extreme temperatures and chemical influences.
- Use in aerospace as protective materials against extreme temperatures and flames.
- Use in the construction industry as flame-retardant fabric.
- Protection of engines in aviation to safeguard heat-sensitive components.
