What Is The Difference Between Silicone Cloth And Fireproof Cloth?

Adhesive cloth and fireproof cloth are commonly used items in the chemical industry. So, what is the difference between these two things?

Silicone cloth is made of two main raw materials. It is made of glass fiber cloth with high strength and high temperature resistance as the base cloth, and then compounded with silicone rubber skin. After high temperature vulcanization, it is processed into a finished product. Silicone cloth, also known as sandwich silica gel, is made of silica gel through high temperature thermal vulcanization, which has the functions of acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is used in chemical plants, oil refineries, ports and industrial hot water and steam. Transportation, automotive, medical, diving, food, and other industries.

The fireproof cloth is mainly made of fireproof and non-combustible fibers, which are processed after special processing. Main features: non-combustible, high temperature resistance (550~1100 degrees), compact structure, non-irritating, soft and tough texture, convenient for wrapping uneven surface objects and equipment. Fireproof cloth can well protect objects away from hot spots and spark areas, and completely prevent or isolate burning. Fireproof cloth is suitable for welding and other occasions where there are sparks and are prone to fire. It can resist spark splashes, slag, welding splashes, etc., so as to isolate the workplace, separate the working layers, and eliminate the fire danger that may be caused by welding work; It can also be used for light isolation, and at the same time establish a safe, clean and standardized working space. Fireproof cloth is an ideal protective tool for fire safety units. When conducting hot construction in public entertainment places such as large shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, etc., such as welding, cutting, etc. Isolation and blocking of explosive dangerous goods, and guarantees the integrity of human life and property. Fireproof cloth is widely used in the construction and repair of ship frames in the shipbuilding industry; it can also be used in petrochemical enterprises for heat insulation and welding of metal structures, showing good protection adaptability.
