Vermiculite Coated Ceramic Cloth: High-Performance Protection in Extreme Heat Environments

 

 

Vermiculite-coated ceramic cloth is a high-performance thermal insulation material engineered for extreme temperature applications. It is manufactured by coating high-quality stainless steel (S.S.) wire-reinforced ceramic fiber fabric with a uniform layer of vermiculite dispersion. This combination enhances the fabric's resistance to high heat and mechanical wear, making it highly suitable for harsh industrial environments.

 

Enhanced Thermal Resistance and Durability

The integration of vermiculite into ceramic cloth significantly boosts its ability to withstand intense temperatures and direct flame. This coating not only reinforces the structural integrity of the ceramic fabric but also extends its service life under prolonged thermal exposure. With a continuous operating temperature resistance of up to 1200°C, vermiculite-coated ceramic fabric is ideal for applications involving molten metal splash, open flames, or heavy-duty welding.

Key Features

  • Exceptional Heat Resistance: Withstands continuous exposure to temperatures up to 1200°C, making it ideal for severe thermal environments.

  • Non-Toxic & Low Smoke Emission: Safe to use in enclosed or sensitive environments, with minimal smoke generation during exposure to flames.

  • High Mechanical Strength: Reinforced with stainless steel wire, the fabric offers superior tensile strength and tear resistance.

  • Enhanced Stability: Excellent weave setting reduces fraying, while the vermiculite layer minimizes fiber irritation, making it easier to handle.

Typical Applications

Due to its superior fire and heat protection, vermiculite-coated ceramic cloth is widely used across various industries, including:

  • Welding Blankets: Acts as a protective barrier during welding operations to shield personnel and nearby equipment from sparks, slag, and molten metal.

  • Molten Metal Protection: Ideal for use around furnaces or in foundries where exposure to molten iron or aluminum is frequent.

  • Refractory Insulation: Serves as a durable insulating layer in high-temperature industrial furnaces and kilns.
