Heat-Resistant Textiles
Material Properties
Our Thermoglass™ products are made from 100% texturized (woven) fibreglass yarns. Available in cloth, tape, rope and tubing forms, they are ideal for applications requiring high heat resistance up to 1,000°F.
Optional coatings can add heat and flame resistance while also improving stability and durability when compared to plain fibreglass.
