2. What is silicone fabric, and why is silicone fabric fireproof

Silicone-coated fabric is produced using glass fiber cloth as the base cloth, coated or calendered with silicone rubber and other materials. It is non-combustible, so silicone coated cloth fabrics can fire.

3. Why should the base fabric be coated, and what are the primary coatings?

The base fabric is not wear-resistant or resistant to folding, and it is easy to scatter when cutting and will cause itching to the human body. The coating can eliminate the above shortcomings and, at the same time, obtain the properties of the coating material, such as water resistance, oil resistance, and anti-corrosion so that it is suitable for more Application scenarios.

4. FAQ About Fireproof Fabrics

1. What is the difference between flame retardant and fire prevention

    Answer: The simple understanding is that flame retardant can isolate small fires, and cigarette butts will not burn when they fall on the ground. Fire prevention means separating space. The fire is burning below, and the fire cannot be seen above.

2. Is the silicone cloth fireproof? The thicker, the better.

    Answer: The thicker the substrate, the greater the mass per unit area, and the better the fire protection effect; the more comprehensive the coating, the better the flame retardancy, but the fire resistance may not be enhanced
