Ultra-heavy-grade, high-temperature-resistant fabric designed for use in severe molten splash applications in the primary metals industry.
Our ultra-heavy-grade, 96oz (3260g/m²) Pyroblanket™, is constructed from an E-glass fiber base fabric, coated one side only with a very thick layer of specially compounded silicone rubber that sheds molten splash immediately, before heat transfer can occur.
Primarily used in the fabrication of specialized covers and curtains for applications such as electric arc furnaces (EAF), blast furnaces, and casting, where severe molten splash occurs. 96oz Pyroblanket™ can be cut and sewn into custom shapes and formats or used with other Insulflex® high-temperature fabrics to create unique protection products for the most severe industrial applications.
The silicone rubber coating is completely impervious to water, moisture, and hydraulic oils. When exposed to high temperatures or molten splash for extended periods, the coating transforms into a SiO2 refractory crust, providing enhanced heat-protection properties.
