Fireproof Fiberglass

Fireproof Fiberglass: The Heavy-Duty Shield for Extreme Heat

When the heat becomes too intense for organic fibers, Fireproof Fiberglass is the ultimate solution. Woven from inorganic glass filaments (typically E-Glass or C-Glass), these fabrics are inherently non-combustible. They do not burn, smoke, or rot. Our fiberglass collection ranges from economical raw cloth to high-performance coated versions (Silicone, PU, Vermiculite, or Acrylic). These coatings are applied to lock the weave, reduce surface irritation ("itchiness"), and add resistance to oil, water, and abrasion. It is the most cost-effective material for large-scale fire barriers and thermal insulation systems.

Key Features

• Extreme Temperature Resistance: Withstands continuous heat of 550°C (1000°F). Specialty High-Silica versions can handle up to 1000°C+ (1800°F+).
• Non-Combustible (Class A1): Rated as a non-combustible material under Euroclass A1. It physically cannot catch fire in normal atmospheric conditions.
• High Tensile Strength: Offers superior mechanical strength and dimensional stability, making it ideal for large hanging curtains and structural reinforcement.
• Versatile Coatings: Available with various coatings (Silicone for flexibility, Vermiculite for spark resistance) to suit specific industrial needs.

International Standards Compliance

Our Fiberglass fabrics are tested to meet global standards for construction and industrial safety:

• EN 13501-1: Fire classification of construction products (Class A1 - Non-combustible).
• BS 476 Part 4/6/7: Fire tests on building materials and structures.
• EN ISO 11611: Protective clothing for use in welding (Class 1 & 2 applicable for coated blankets).
• UL 181: Standard for Factory-Made Air Ducts and Air Connectors (relevant for HVAC insulation).

Applications

Sector	Typical Use Cases	Why Fiberglass?
Construction	Smoke Curtains, Fire Barriers	Incombustible nature prevents fire spread; high strength for large spans.
Welding Safety	Heavy Duty Welding Blankets	Vermiculite-coated fiberglass withstands direct heavy sparks and slag.
Industrial Insulation	Removable Valve Jackets, Lagging	Excellent thermal insulation keeps heat in pipes and protects personnel.
Shipbuilding	Hull Insulation, Fire Doors	Meets strict marine fire codes (IMO) and resists corrosion.
