SILTEX® 18-UH is a woven amorphous silica cloth designed for high-temperature thermal protection against welding splatter, sparks, and metal grinding. It has a nominal weight of 18 oz/yd², a thickness of 0.78 mm, and a width of 91.44 cm. The fabric is constructed in an 8-harness satin weave with an acrylic coating, operates continuously at up to 982°C, and has a tensile strength of 2800 N/5 cm (warp) and 1900 N/5 cm (fill). It is supplied in rolls of 45.72 meters each.
Made with continuous filament, 96% amorphous silica fibers, SILTEX® Woven Silica Fabrics are widely used for applications that require high heat resistance, as well as abrasion and/or chemical resistance. Available in a variety of weights ranging from 18 oz/sy to 70 oz/sy, SILTEX® Woven Silica Fabrics are widely used for the safety of personnel and equipment, and as thermal barriers to reduce energy costs.
