SILTEX® 18-UH is a woven amorphous silica cloth designed for thermal protection in high-temperature environments such as welding and grinding. It has a nominal weight of 18 oz/sy, a thickness of 0.78 mm, and a width of 91.44 cm, with a maximum operating temperature of 982°C. The fabric is composed of 95% amorphous silica, woven in an 8-harness satin construction with an acrylic coating, and has a tensile strength of 2800 N/5cm in the warp and 1900 N/5cm in the fill. It is supplied in rolls of 45.72 meters.
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.
