Silica Fabric
Silica Fabric
Silica fabric is a type of fireproof silica fiber cloth with a high SiO2 content that is used as a high temperature insulator for fire and thermal protection. TCC silica fabric can be used for long periods of time without losing its insular properties and without vaporizing or melting at temperatures as high as 1000°C (1,832°F). These properties make silica fabric excellent for industrial uses that include welding and fire safety.

Description
About
Silica fabric is a type of fine woven silica fiber that is similar to fiberglass. TCC silica fabrics are flame resistant, ecologically clean (offer 98% purity–free of organic resin binder), low thermal conductivity, and low electrical conductivity. TCC woven silica products are ideal for insulating engines as well as construction of compensators and other electrical equipment manufacturing. Silica fabrics are often used as heat shields to prevent surrounding components from overheating and significantly help reduce thermal loss in the process. Silica fabrics offer high chemical stability to alkali and acid media, are fungi-proof and resistant to other attacking microorganisms.
