Silicone Rubber Coated Glass Fabrics offers a tough coated surface for applications where high flexibility and a high slip coefficient are required. It is an excellent electrical insulator in harsh environments, has high resistance to mild alkali, non-oxidizing acids, most salts, mineral lubricating oil, air, moisture and sunlight and it will release adhesive and viscous materials which often adhere to a fluorocarbon resin.
Applications for silicone coated fabric include electrical insulation tapes, gaskets, heater covers, safety curtains, conveyor belts for industrial processes, foam manufacturing, shrink tunnels and release and separator sheets for viscous processes in the chemical, rubber, plastic, electrical and aerospace industries.
Benefits include excellent release properties up to 230 °C, good chemical, abrasion and flex resistance, outstanding dielectric properties and the products do not exhibit the low friction surface or self-lubricating properties of PTFE coated fabrics.
