Product Announcements: Specialty Fibers, Fabrics and Textiles

The AVSil standard-CH fabrics can be laminated with aluminized film or coated with silicone to obtain special performance properties. The aluminized film is used primarily for its thermal reflectivity and the silicone coated fabric is used for abrasion resistance. Both give gas and liquid impermeability. (read more)

FLXGLAS HT can withstand temperature extremes with no significant deterioration in flexibility or strength.

• Exceeds standard fiberglass temperature limits of 900 F (485 C)
• Withstands extreme temperatures up to 1300 F (700 C)
• Outperforms standard fiberglass in continuous high temperature applications. (read more)

AVS Industries will be exhibiting at FABTECH International in Chicago Nov. 15^th – Nov. 18^th. We are an industry leader in the manufacture of high temperature fiberglass and silica fabrics for welding/safety protection and industrial thermal applications. We also offer a diverse range of silica tapes, ropes, and sleeving for high temperature applications. (read more)

AVSil Plain Weave Silica Fabric is specifically applicable for hot work protection applications, tadpole gasket constructions, and expansion joint constructions where 1800°F (980°C)capability is required. It also has improved fabrication properties for certain applications because of less edge fraying due to weave construction and the applied hydrocarbon (H) coating. (read more)

AVSil Silica Fabrics are high temperature fabrics used for a wide range of insulation and protection applications for shipbuilding. AVSil Silica Fabrics can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1800°F (980°C) for various periods of time. AVSil has a minimum silicon dioxide content of 96% for optimum performance. (read more)

FLXGLAS HT is a special inorganic treated premium grade fiberglass fabric designed for continuous high temperature applications that exceed the 900°F (485°C) limitation for standard fiberglass fabric. FLXGLAS HT fabrics withstand temperature extremes of up to 1300°F (700°C). (read more)

AVSil 124CH is a cost effective medium weight silica fabric (24 oz/yd²) for the protection of equipment and personnel in high temperature applications. AVSil 124CH can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1800°F (980°C) for short periods of time. Currently available in 36" width. (read more)
