- Excellent UV & Sunlight Resistance, Long Lasting and Resistant to Most Chemicals.
Our 0.8mm thick (0.032”) Aluminium Foil Faced Fibreglass Insulation Fabric is often used for applications that require a solid, heat resistant insulation barrier to reflect heat or prevent fluid transfer. We are pleased to offer this flexible, high temperature insulation cloth by the metre.
Manufactured in the USA, this premium-grade insulation is designed for high heat applications. It is coated on one side with 1 Mil (0.0254mm) thick Aluminium Foil and is flexible, easy to work with and very durable.
This quality heat resistant fabric has several features and capabilities. These are expanded on below:
High Heat Resistance.
This high temperature woven cloth can withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 260°C. This is the lowest of its temperature ratings as it is at this point that the adhesive used to affix the thin aluminium foil will begin to degrade.
At temperatures above 260°C (up to 540°C), the foil may begin to delaminate from the fibreglass fabric though both the glass and aluminium will remain intact. At temperatures above 540°C, the fibreglass fabric will no longer provide insulating performance.
UV Resistant, Age Resistant and Compatible with most Chemicals & Fluids.
This high-quality coated fibreglass cloth is suitable for use in most environments and in conjunction with a wide range of chemicals, fluids and media. Some of the most common of these are summarised in the table below:
| Base Fabric |
