Material reference
VETEX high silica fabric contains at least 96% SiO₂ and can be used long-term up to 1000°C as a material reference. Suitability must still be confirmed for the actual fabric construction, exposure and test method.
Separate temperature from exposure
Record continuous operating temperature, peak temperature, duration, direct flame or radiant heat, molten spatter, atmosphere, mechanical loading and expected service life. These conditions may change material selection.
Specify the textile or component
Include grade, weave, weight, thickness, width, roll length, edge finish and any cutting or sewing drawing. For fabricated parts, evaluate seams, hems and attachments along with the fabric.
Frequently asked questions
Does 1000°C long-term material capability mean a finished blanket is rated to 1000°C?
No. This is a material reference. Finished-product claims require evidence for the complete construction and intended use.
What information is needed to evaluate high silica fabric?
Share exposure duration, heat mode, mechanical conditions, dimensions, construction preference and required test standard.
