XT Silica Fibre Cloth

XT Silica Fibre Cloth is a high-performance thermal insulation fabric made from ≥96% SiO₂ silica fibers. Rated for continuous use at up to 1000°C, it’s ideal for welding blankets, thermal covers, and industrial heat shielding. Available in multiple thicknesses, with optional PSA adhesive backing for easy application.

XT Silica Fibre Cloth is a high-performance thermal insulation fabric made from continuous filament silica yarns containing a minimum of 96% SiO₂ (silicon dioxide). Engineered for use in the most demanding high-temperature environments, this fabric offers outstanding resistance to heat, fire, molten metal splash, and thermal shock. With a continuous operating temperature rating of up to 1000°C, and a melting point of 1650°C, it provides reliable protection in the majority of heat shielding applications.

This versatile material is widely used across industries including metalworking, shipbuilding, power generation, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. It is particularly well-suited for creating welding curtains, heat shields, thermal blankets, equipment insulation, pipe wrapping, and protective covers.

XT Silica Fibre Cloth is flexible, durable, and easy to cut and fabricate using basic tools like scissors. This product is asbestos-free and is non-toxic and non-hazardous when handles correctly.

Key Features:

  • High-Temperature Performance: Withstands continuous heat exposure up to 1000°C
  • Material Composition: ≥96% pure silicon dioxide (SiO₂) for superior thermal insulation
  • Melting Point: Approximately 1650°C
  • Flame Resistance: Rated VW-1 (self-extinguishing properties)
  • Standard Color: Natural (off-white)
  • Easily cut with scissors – ideal for onsite custom fitting

The Standard Roll Size for this cloth is 50 meters in length x 92 cm width. It is available in two thicknesses, 0.7mm or the double weight 1.5mm thickness and is available for purchase by the roll, metre or we can cut standard sizes upon request. For more information, contact your local AG branch.
