VERMICULITE COATED SILICA FABRIC FIRE BLANKET

VERMICULITE COATED SILICA FABRIC FIRE BLANKET

  • Model Number -
  • MK-HSVF650-96P
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
  • Furnace and boiler covers
  • Foundry protection covers
  • Expansion joints
  • Heat and flame curtains
  • Fireproof barriers
  • High-temp insulation wraps

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
