The products obtained by coating glass fiber fabrics with silicone are called silicone coated glass fiber fabrics. Such products are durable as they are protected from external factors thanks to the silicone coated on them. Any chemical or liquid substance that may come on the material cannot penetrate the fiber fabric thanks to silicon. Just like in polyurethane coated glass fiber fabrics, the amount of silicone coated in silicone coated glass fiber fabrics affects durability and permeability. Another function of silicone is to prevent the glass fiber from dissolving in water. When the water permeability is reduced thanks to silicon, glass fiber provides a much longer use and can preserve its form for a much longer time.

Glass fibers can withstand 550 degrees of heat, while the fabric coated with silicone shows strength up to 230 degrees. Silicone coating can be made on one side or on both sides according to the customer's request and the area where the product will be used. Glass fibers coated with silicone on both sides are more durable than products coated on one side.

Where are silicone coated glass fiber fabrics used?
Silicone coated glass fiber fabrics are used in shipbuilding and in the manufacture of insulation jackets. The fact that the products are certified has a large share in their preference. These products, which are sold in different colors, are also highly resistant to electricity. In addition to electricity, its resistance to thermal and mechanical factors ensures that the products are highly functional.

Silicone coated glass fiber fabrics are also highly resistant to oxidation. As a result of oxidation, the lifespan of the products is shortened. In these products, however, oxidation does not affect the product. In addition, since the product is covered with silicone, it is also insulated against light. Silicone coated glass fiber fabrics, which are resistant to sun rays and artificial light sources, can be found in the desired weight today.

The weight of the silicone on the glass fiber fabric varies according to the amount of silicone used, but it is between 50 and 200 grams per square meter. Although the high amount of silicone increases the weight of the product, it also increases the durability level of the product. The important thing here is to use the right product in the right area. Our company, with its expert staff, always provides its customers with the necessary information and helps them to make the right choice.
