ZetexPlus® Vermiculite Coated Fiberglass Fabrics are woven from highly texturized continuous filament fiberglass yarn and treated with our proprietary vermiculite coating. The high-temperature coating causes heat to disperse evenly across the surface of the fiberglass fabric, significantly boosting its resistance to high temperatures and abrasion.
Newtex’s proprietary vermiculite coating has larger platelets and a greater percentage of solids than competitive coatings allowing for better coverage and superior heat dispersion. Our coating also features an organic adhesion promoter to improve the bond between the platelets and the fiberglass fabric to reduce flaking, improve moisture resistance, and ensure a longer product life.
ZetexPlus® Vermiculite Coated Fiberglass Fabric can withstand constant operating temperatures up to 1500°F / 815°C and peak temperatures up to 2000°F / 1095°C. Some styles of ZetexPlus® Vermiculite Coated High Temperature Fabrics are also available in black or in wire-reinforced styles.
