Why Choose Silicone Coated Fibreglass

We offer a range silicone coated fibreglass products here at TYM. This product is a high-performance composite material designed for applications requiring excellent heat resistance, durability, and protection against harsh environmental conditions.

It consists of a woven fibreglass base fabric that is coated with a layer of silicone rubber, combining the structural strength of glass fibre with the flexibility and sealing properties of silicone. This construction allows the material to withstand continuous high temperatures while remaining resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and many chemicals, making it suitable for demanding thermal and industrial applications.

The silicone coating enhances the fibreglass base by providing improved abrasion resistance and a smooth, flexible surface that is easier to handle and fabricate. It also helps to reduce fraying and fibre shedding, which can occur with untreated glass cloth.

Depending on the specification, silicone coated fibreglass can typically operate in environments ranging from sub-zero temperatures up to around 230°C for continuous exposure, with short-term resistance to even higher peaks. This makes it a popular choice for use in heat shields, insulation jackets, expansion joints, and protective covers in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and power generation.

Available in a range of thicknesses, weights, and coating levels, our silicone coated fibreglass products can be selected to match specific performance requirements, from lightweight flexible fabrics to heavier-duty reinforcement materials. Its combination of thermal stability, mechanical strength, and environmental resistance ensures long service life even in challenging operating conditions. Easy to cut, sew, and fabricate, it is widely used for bespoke insulation solutions where both durability and heat protection are critical.
