Many industries require fire-resistant fabrics – protection you can rely on. They are extremely resistant not only to high temperatures, but also to mechanical damage.
Fire-resistant fabrics are distinguished primarily by their high thermal resistance. The technical fabrics offered by Vitcas retain their mechanical and insulating properties at extreme temperatures, often exceeding one thousand degrees Celsius and more. The low thermal conductivity of heat-resistant fabrics makes them a good thermal insulator, protecting against heat transfer. High-quality fire-resistant fabric can also be characterised by high resistance to stretching, abrasion and mechanical damage, which ensures its durability in difficult conditions. The recommended fire-resistant fabric can also be resistant to various chemicals.
Why are fire-resistant fabrics so important?
Thanks to their unique properties, fire-resistant fabrics are widely used in many industries where protection against fire and high temperatures is extremely important. Technical fabrics are used, among others, in the metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical, automotive, energy, aviation and aerospace industries. The heat-resistant fabrics available at Vitcas are also used in firefighting and rescue services. In most cases, fire-resistant fabric is used to manufacture protective clothing worn in extreme thermal conditions. Widely used, fire-resistant fabric is a material that ensures the safety of workers in many industries.
What are the most popular fire-resistant fabrics available on the market? This is a question asked by many professionals for whom the quality and durability of materials is important. Fire-resistant fabrics and heat-resistant fabrics are available on the market for use in the metallurgical, steel, chemical and energy industries. Their features include low thermal conductivity, resistance to abrasion and chemicals, as well as tensile strength and high temperature resistance. These materials are indispensable in the production of protective clothing, industrial curtains and machine guards.
