Ceramic Pure ceramic fibre cannot be processed
into a textile without the aid of a
reinforcement. THS offer textiles with either
fibreglass or wire reinforcement. Ceramic fibre
withstands temperatures in excess of 1000oC, but
the working temperature is obviously effected by
which carrier is used. Continuous temperature
with wire 1000oC Continuous temperature with
glassfibre 550oC Good insulation
properties. Applications include Heavy duty
mattresses, refractory work. Aramid fibre THS
aramid range is produced from fibres without the
addition of mineral staple or glassfibre. These
fabrics have excellent mechanical strength
allowing very good personal protection.Most of
the standard coatings can be applied to our
aramid range, and they can also be laminated to a
raised cotton backing. The raised cotton backing
gives additional insulation and a softer feel to
the skin. Very high tensile strength Excellent
chemical resistance Very good abrasion
resistance Applications include all forms of
protective clothing, gaskets, belting. Silica
fibre The high temperature resistance of silica
is achieved by chemically and thermally treating
glassfibre product. In the course of this
treatment the glassfibres are converted into
silica with, in the standard product range, an
SiO2 content of 94 - 96. It is possible to
produce material which has an SiO2 content of
98. Continuous temperature resistance, greater
than 1000oC Melting point 1600oC Resistant to
most chemicals, except for phosphoricacid,
hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalies No skin
irritation Harmless to health
