Silica Cloth

Silica cloth is produced by densely weaving continuous filament silica yarns, resulting in a smooth fabric with high tensile strength. This material serves as an alternative to ceramic cloths because of its resistance to elevated temperatures and molten metal splash. Common applications include custom straight sleeves and connectors, turbine insulation, welding blankets and covers, expansion joints, and furnace linings.

Silica cloth is available in custom sizes, by the roll, or manufactured to meet specific requirements.
