3M™ Nextel™ Woven Ceramic Fabrics excel in demanding thermal, mechanical, and electrical applications, withstanding continuous temperatures of 2372°F/1300°C or higher.
Widely used in aerospace, outer space, and industrial contexts for high-temperature insulation, these fabrics offer stability at high temperatures, chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, low porosity, and unique electrical properties.
Newtex proudly distributes 3M™ Nextel™ 312, 440, 610, and 720, with 312 and 440 for insulation and flame barriers and 610 and 720 for load-bearing roles in various materials.
Select 3M™ Nextel™Fabrics are also available in both Heat Cleaned and Heat Treated versions.
In addition to 3M™ Nextel™ fabrics, Newtex is also an authorized distributor of 3M™ Nextel™ Tapes, 3M™ Nextel™ Sleeving, and 3M™ Nextel™ Thread and Yarn.
