    Silicone-Coated Fibreglass Cloth
    Flexible High-Temperature Fabric for Thermal, Electrical & Protective Applications

    Silicone-coated fibreglass cloth combines the strength and heat resistance of woven fibreglass with a durable silicone rubber coating on both sides. The silicone coating improves flexibility, weather resistance, handling and abrasion performance while maintaining the excellent thermal properties of the fibreglass base cloth.

    Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, silicone-coated fibreglass cloth is widely used for removable insulation jackets, expansion joints, heat shields, protective covers and electrical insulation applications where long-term durability is required.

    Key Features

    • High Temperature Performance: Fibreglass cloth rated for temperatures up to 550°C with a silicone coating suitable for continuous service up to 280°C.
    • Suitable for Outdoor Use: Silicone coating provides excellent resistance to weather, moisture and UV exposure for long-term external applications.
    • Excellent Flexibility: Ideal for removable insulation jackets, flexible covers and expansion joints.
    • Improved Abrasion & Wear Resistance: Silicone coating protects the fabric during handling and repeated use while reducing edge fraying.
    • Electrical Insulation: Suitable for applications requiring a flexible, non-conductive insulating fabric.
    • Available in Multiple Grades: Various fabric weights, coating weights and reinforcement options are available to suit different applications.

    Optional Configurations

    • Aluminium foil laminated for radiant heat reflection
    • Multiple fabric weights and thicknesses
    • Reinforced grades for increased strength and durability
    • Various roll widths and lengths

    Common Applications

    • Removable insulation jackets and thermal blankets
    • Heat shields and thermal barriers
    • Flexible expansion joints
    • Protective covers for hoses, pipes and cables
    • Electrical insulation and dielectric protection
    • Industrial equipment operating in outdoor environments

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can silicone-coated fibreglass cloth be used outdoors?

    Yes. Silicone-coated fibreglass cloth is well suited to outdoor applications. The silicone coating provides excellent resistance to moisture, UV exposure and weathering, making it ideal for removable insulation jackets, protective covers and other equipment exposed to the elements.

    Is silicone-coated fibreglass cloth electrically insulating?

    Yes. Silicone-coated fibreglass cloth is a flexible, non-conductive material commonly used where electrical insulation is required. Different grades are available depending on the required dielectric performance, operating temperature and mechanical strength.

    Can the fabric be sewn into removable insulation jackets?

    Absolutely. Silicone-coated fibreglass cloth is widely used to manufacture removable insulation blankets and jackets for valves, flanges, turbines, exhaust systems and process equipment. It offers the flexibility and durability needed for repeated installation and removal.

    What is the difference between reinforced and standard cloth?

    Reinforced grades incorporate stainless steel wire within the woven fibreglass fabric to improve mechanical strength and resistance to tearing in demanding applications. Standard grades are lighter, more flexible and suitable for many general industrial insulation applications. We can recommend the most appropriate construction for your project.

    Is aluminium foil facing available?

    Yes. Selected grades can be supplied with an aluminium foil facing to improve radiant heat reflection and provide an additional protective surface. Contact us if your application requires foil-laminated silicone-coated fibreglass cloth.

    Can I order custom widths, cut lengths or full rolls?

    Yes. Depending on the grade selected, silicone-coated fibreglass cloth is available in various roll widths and lengths. We can also assist with custom requirements where available. Let us know your dimensions and application, and we'll recommend the most suitable option.
