| Description: SILTEX is a family of high performance textile fabric that is comprised of high purity, high strength amorphous silica fibers, woven into a strong, flexible fabric designed for use where severe temperature conditions exist. SILTEX 36 is manufactured to a finished weight of 36 ounces per square yard. It's heavier weight and tight 12-harness satin weave makes SILTEX 36 the premium product for maximum protection of personnel and equipment against more severe welding splatter, sparks, grinding of metals, etc. SILTEX 36 is also excellent for use in engineered thermal insulation systems that requiring higher strength and improved thermal properties over the lighter-weight materials. The amorphous silica fibers that make up SILTEX are unaffected by most chemicals, except strong alkalis, hydrofluoric acid or sodium. All SILTEX fabrics are available in standard “C” and pre-shrunk (fired) versions, Fabrics are available with several coating/treatment options that enhance certain properties of the product in order to meet required performance characteristics.
