ARMATEX® SF 18 is a lightweight silicone-coated fiberglass fabric designed for flame, abrasion, and chemical resistance in applications such as weld splatter protection and thermal barriers. It has a nominal weight of 18 oz/sq yd and a thickness of 0.018 inches, with a width of 60 inches and standard roll size of 50 linear yards. The base fabric withstands temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C), while the silicone coating is rated for continuous exposure to 450°F (232°C) and transient exposure to 600°F (315°C). Tensile strength is nominally 275 lbf (warp) x 175 lbf (fill). The fabric meets MIL-I-24244 and ASTM E162 and E84.84a certifications.
Mid-Mountain manufactures silicone coated fabrics and tapes comprised of varying substrates coated with silicone rubber compounds. With a continuous use limit of 450°F • 232°C, ARMATEX® Silicone Coated Fabrics and Textiles are engineered for use in environments that require high heat or flame resistance, chemical resistance, or abrasion resistance.
Typical uses include removable pad insulation, protection from weld spatter and slag, gaskets, and thermal insulation barriers.
