Ultra-heavy grade high temperature resistant fabric, designed for use in severe molten splash applications in the primary metals industry.
Our heavyweight - Pyroblanket™ 96 oz (3260 g) /m2) is constructed from a glass fiber base fabric, coated one side only with a very thick layer of specially compounded silicone rubber that sheds molten splash almost instantly, before heat transfer can occur.
It is used primarily for fabrication of specialized covers and curtains in applications such as electric arc furnace (EAF), blast furnace and casting, where severe molten splash occurs. It can be cut and sewn into custom shapes and formats, or used with other Insulflex high temperature fabrics to create unique protection products for the most severe industrial applications.
The silicone rubber coating is completely impervious to water, moisture and hydraulic oils. When exposed to high temperatures or molten splash for extended periods, the coating transforms into a silica refractory crust.
