Coated Glass Fabrics
Fabrics can also be offered with
elastomeric coatings which can be applied either single or double sided to
glass or silica fabrics. Our technical specialists will be pleased to advise on
the most appropriate fabric for specific applications. The most common
elastomeric coatings available are Neoprene, Silicone rubber and aluminised
polymer (Tyglas VC), but other specialist coatings, e.g. Hypalon and Viton can
also be offered.
When an elastomeric coating has
been applied to a glass fabric, the resultant material has quite distinctive
characteristics, several of which may be exploited to serve industrial
needs.
In general, the application of a
coating to a glass fabric improves physical properties such as abrasion
resistance and resistance to damage from continuous flexing.
The resistance to chemicals, flame
and recommended maximum working temperatures are given below.
