A line of premium glass-fibre cloth products is designed for use in industrial applications requiring an incombustible high temperature fabric.
A line of premium glass-fibre cloth products, designed for use in industrial applications requiring an incombustible high temperature fabric, is available from Agis Manufacturing Company.
Engineered to withstand temperatures up to 540C, Agis glass-fibre cloth meets US Coast Guard requirements for incombustible materials and will not burn or smoulder.
Among the industrial applications for which Agis premium glass-fibre cloth is suited are foundry, metalworking and heat treating.
The fabric is recommended for use in welding curtains, fire blankets, insulation blankets, industrial and marine lagging, asbestos cloth substitute and drape cloths, among others.
In contrast to many high temperature fabrics, Agis glass-fibre cloth is exceptionally strong; it exhibits one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any industrial textile.
Even under service conditions where temperatures reach 540C, the fabric retains 25% of its tensile strength.
It also exhibits good thermal conductivity, high dielectric strength and low constants.
Agis glass-fibre cloth is a plain, tightly woven cloth manufactured from texturised glass-fibre yarn; it contains no compound, cement or wire.
In the manufacturing process, a proprietary heat treatment technique is applied to the surface which renders the cloth free of most surface grit, virtually eliminates "picking" of the skin, and facilitates handling.
A nonfraying selvage edge is standard.
Because of its unusual characteristics, the fabric may be readily cut, formed and sewn for many industrial applications.
Agis glass-fibre cloth's noncellular composition also renders it moisture-resistant.
Unlike other gasketting or insulating materials, the product will not swell, stretch, shrink, deteriorate or change chemically even after long exposure to water.
Agis premium glass-fibre cloth is available in various weights (288 to 1356g/m2); finishes (heat-treated, waterproofed, weave set, renwet and/or flameproof); coatings (neoprene, vinyl and Teflon), and constructions (aluminised on one side for thermal reflection; with brass or stainless steel wire inserts for increased tensile strength).
Standard roll length is 45.7m.
