TYGLAS 1000C
A range of texturised glass
fabrics which have been specially treated to withstand temperatures of up to
1000°C in static conditions.
| A
Viable Alternative |
|
The base fabrics
are from the Tyglas range of texturised glass fabrics which, untreated, have a
maximum operating temperature of 550°C. After treatment with the specially
developed finish the fabrics will withstand a blowtorch flame at 1000°C.
The fabrics will then outperform asbestos (without the environmental hazards)
and become low cost alternatives to silica and ceramic fabrics in many high
temperature applications, especially where their superior tensile strength and
abrasion resistance can be exploited and where the more exotic (and costly)
materials may be susceptible to damage. |
Where flexibility at high
temperature is required the use of Tygasil silica fabrics is to be
recommended.
The finish (398) achieves the
remarkable increase in performance by coating the fibres with a film of
refractory platelets.
Conventional glass fabrics exposed
to blowtorch flames (1100°C) lose physical integrity in less than 25
seconds (left photograph).
Tyglas 1000C subjected to same
test retains integrity for over 30 minutes (right photograph).
| Applications |
|
Heavy duty
protection from molten metal splash/spatter whilst carrying out welding/metal
cutting operations, fire/cavity barriers, flexible connectors. |
Tyglas 1000C fabrics have been
used for many years by leading petrochemical companies.
