Texpack® chequered glass cloth is produced with continuous glass yarns for temperatures up to 550°C. The chequering of the cloth guarantees greater mechanical resistance. The cloths are chemically stable and corrosion-resistant. The chequered glass cloth can be aluminised to reduce fraying when cut (this treatment reduces the maximum temperature withstood to 200°C).
Applications
The cloth is used in the form of:
covers to protect against metal splash and sparks;
blankets for removable lagging for valves, flanges, turbines and boilers;
expansion joints and special tapes for application on complex shapes;
sleeves for piping.
