When fire hazards lurk unnoticed, the performance of fire-resistant materials often determines the strength of the safety defense line. Recently, a new type of silicone material developed specifically for high-strength fire-resistant cloth has attracted industry attention. With its excellent protective performance and stable performance, it has become the "invisible shield" for fire-resistant cloth production.
The core advantage of this material lies in its "combination of rigidity and flexibility" in protection. After curing, it forms a tough white protective layer, like putting "armor" on the fire-resistant cloth. Test data shows that it can withstand a tensile strength of 5.5MPa, which is equivalent to being able to bear 55 kilograms of pull per square centimeter. Even in high-temperature environments, it is not easy to tear, with a tear resistance of 16KN/m. It can effectively buffer external impacts and prevent the fire-resistant cloth from breaking in emergency situations.
For enterprises producing fire-resistant cloth, construction convenience directly affects efficiency. This material comes with "smart" shaping ability—technically called "thixotropy". Simply put, during construction, through scraping or dipping operations, it can easily adhere to the surface of glass fiber cloth. After stopping the operation, it can quickly set without flowing, reducing material waste. More importantly, it has strong "grip" on glass fiber cloth. After curing, there will be no delamination or peeling problems, greatly improving the production qualification rate of fire-resistant cloth.
As the "core partner" of fire-resistant cloth, its flame-retardant properties are even more crucial. The material itself has good fire resistance. When combined with glass fiber cloth, it forms a double protective barrier, maintaining structural stability in high-temperature environments and buying valuable time for escape and rescue. Beyond fire-resistant cloth, it can also excel in other products that require coating processes, such as industrial pipeline protective layers and equipment heat insulation sleeves. It can play a stable role in any coating scenario that requires wear resistance and high-temperature resistance.
In terms of use, this material adopts an A/B two-component design. It can be mixed in a 1:1 weight ratio, making the operation simple and easy to learn. No special conditions are required for storage. It can be stored for 12 months in an environment below 23℃. Even if it exceeds the shelf life, it can still be used after passing inspection, greatly reducing inventory pressure.
From household fire curtains to industrial fire barriers, this silicone material is enhancing the performance of fire-resistant cloth, providing protection for safety in various industries, and making every protection more reliable and reassuring.
