The application and characteristic of Silicone Coated Fabric 2011-12-26
Silicone Coated Fabric, available from Guanglian, has silicone rubber dispersion coated on both sides of fiberglass substrate. Members of this family of product are thin and tough, dimensionally stable and extremely flexible. Their many applications include belting, vacuum blankets, thermal shielding and diaphragms. The 1000 Series has superior electrical properties and good abrasion resistance, while the 3000 Series has a smoother, more compressible coating for gasketing applications. The fabrics referenced here are standard products and reflect only a small portion of the many coated fabrics that Guanglian is capable of supplying. By varying the glass style and rubber formulation/content, Guanglian can provide the user with coated fabric best suited to the application. Such special order constructions have included one-side coated, reversion-resistant, flame-retardant silicone rubber coating, and alternative PTFE Fabric. There is usually minimum order quantities imposed on a non-standard constructions.
Adhesive Backings:
Guanglian can apply pressure sensitive silicone adhesive or pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive to all Silicone Coated Fabric material products including sheets (40" x 36") or continuous length rolls at 40” wide. The self-adhering materials permit substantial savings because they are easy to apply, simplify production, and eliminate the high cost of bonding. SP-2021 Silicone Adhesive withstands the same temperature extremes, -100°F to +500°F, as the silicone rubber sheet. AP-2022 Acrylic adhesive, whose temperature range is -40°F to + 300°F, offers the advantage of twice the adhesion to steel and a longer shelf life than regular silicone adhesive.
Hi-Temp Acrylic Adhesive, newly released, is capable of withstanding temperature of 450°F, while providing the high-bonding strength of acrylic adhesive. All of these above-mentioned Silicone Coated Fabric from Auburn are readily available either plain or with an adhesive backing affixed to one, or in some cases, both sides. Self-adhering adhesive-backed sheets are protected by an easy-to-remove peel-off liner for application to a clean, dry, degreased surface.
