Knitted Wire Mesh is available in various diameters of wire that are knitted into a tubular form. It is then flattened into continuous lengths and rolled up for packaging. The standard knit of the insulation mesh is 8 stitches per inch of width and 6-8 courses per inch of length.

Our stainless steel knitted wire mesh for removable and reusable insulation is designed for fabricating removable and reusable insulation blankets.  Due to its flexible composition our wire mesh retains and protects while conforming to highly irregular surfaces.  This allows our mesh to withstand the stresses of repeated installations, vibration, buffeting moisture, corrosion, and temperature extremes. As a result, our mesh is an excellent choice for aerospace, commercial, industrial and marine pad construction.

Silicone coated fiberglass cloth is made with high temperature E-glass fiberglass cloth coated with silicone on both sides. This fabric has a flexible texture and a high tensile strength. The coating provides enhanced insulation, protection, and handling properties.

Westcoast Specialty Products WSP1760 is a fiberglass fabric which has been coated or impregnated with our specialty formulated silicone rubber compound. It provides greater abrasion, puncture and tear resistance to our base fiberglass cloth. It provides extended life, water and oil resistance.

Silicone Coated Fiberglass fabric is highly flexible and provides excellent protection when used in insulating blankets and other heat resistant parts. The Silicone coating has added water and oil resistance and low smoke and flame retardant.

Silicone and PTFE fabrics withstand high temperatures, chemicals, and moisture. Silicone is a rubbery, abrasion resistant coating available in grey. Silicone fabrics provide better UV, water and abrasion resistance than PTFE fabrics. PTFE is a smooth, non-reactive coating commonly known by the brand name Teflon. PTFE fabrics are ideal for applications where added toughness and chemical resistance are required. Silicone and PTFE fabrics are commonly used as the outer layer of insulation blankets to protect from moisture and the outdoor environment. These high temperature fabrics are also frequently used in fire blankets or welding curtains that protect workers and equipment from heat and fire. Silicone and PTFE fabrics offer superior resistance to chemicals, abrasion, moisture, and heat. Silicone fabric can withstand operating temperatures up to 500°F and PTFE fabric can withstand temperatures up to 575°F.  Both Silicone and PTFE feature a fiberglass cloth base beneath the high temperature coating. The fiberglass cloth can with stand temperatures up to 1000°F, even if the Silicone or PTFE coating burns off.

Common Applications:

• Insulating jacketing
• Welding curtains
• Blankets and covers for equipment protection

PTFE coated fabric is fiberglass cloth coated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) on the surface. It offers excellent features such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, non-adhesiveness, low coefficient of friction and high tensile strength. PTFE coated fiberglass fabric is non-toxic and odourless.

Teflon/Fiberglass Cloth – WSP1750 is an impregnated fiberglass fabric engineered for the harsh environments found in many industrial facilities including acid plants, paper mills, and petrochemical plants.
