VERMICULITE COATED SILICA FABRIC FIRE BLANKET 1X25 mtr

Maksweld-Vermiculite coated silica fabric is a specialized high-temperature textile made by applying a vermiculite mineral coating to high-purity silica fabric (typically ≥96% SiO₂). This combination enhances the fabric’s thermal performance, abrasion resistance, and lifespan in severe environments.

WHAT IS VERMICULITE COATED SILICA FABRIC

1. Base Material:

Silica Fabric (96%+ SiO2)
Excellent heat resistance up to 1000°C continuous, 1200°C short-term
Flexible, strong, and chemically resistant

2. Coating:

Vermiculite, a natural mineral that expands when heated
Applied to one or both sides of the fabric
Provides a protective layer of ceramic-like particles

APPLICATIONS

Welding blankets & spark shields
Foundry protection covers
Heat and flame curtains
High-temp insulation wraps
Furnace and boiler covers
Expansion joints
Fireproof barriers

BENEFIT OF VERMICULITE COAT

Improved Abrasion Resistance	Withstands friction, mechanical, wear
Enhanced Heat Reflection	Increases heat shielding performance
Better Molten Metal Splash Protection	Makes fabric suitable for foundries and welding
Reduced Fraying	Edges stay intact when cut
Stiffer Hand	Easier to hang as curtains or shields
Longer Service Life	Especially in dirty or rough conditions

WHY VERMICULITE COATED SILICA?

Property	Uncoated Silica	Vermiculite Coated Silica
Abrasion Resistance	Moderate	High
Molten Splash Protection	Good	Excellent
Fray Resistance	Low	High
Handling	Very soft	Slightly stiffer, easier to position
Lifespan	Good	Better in rugged use
