01REFERENCE CONSTRUCTIONS

Compare practical starting points

Non-proprietary references help buyers begin a discussion. Final construction is confirmed against the application, base fabric, coating level and required mechanical performance.

Reference construction	Indicative finished weight	Indicative thickness	Typical positioning
Lightweight reference01	approx. 510–570 g/m²	approx. 0.40 mm	Flexible covers and general industrial protection
Medium-weight reference02	approx. 840 g/m²	approx. 0.65 mm	Welding, insulation and flexible connections
Heavy-duty reference03	approx. 960–1150 g/m²	approx. 0.70–0.85 mm	Expansion joints, insulation and fabricated products

Before productionFinal construction, tolerances and coating weight are confirmed against the approved specification or sample.

02APPLICATION SELECTOR

Start with the duty—not a product code

Each use case changes what matters in the base fabric, coating level, sidedness and handling.

BUYER SHOULD CONSIDER

Spark and spatter intensity
Vertical or horizontal use
Contact with hot slag
Flexibility and abrasion frequency

TYPICAL STARTING CONSTRUCTION

Start with a medium-weight silicone coated fiberglass construction with good flexibility. Repeated use may require a heavier base fabric and higher coating content.

For severe molten-metal or very-high-heat exposure, evaluate vermiculite-treated fiberglass or high silica fabric instead of simply adding more silicone.

03CONSTRUCTION DECISION

Single-side vs double-side coating

Do not select sidedness only by price. Choose according to fabrication and which surfaces are exposed.

01SINGLE-SIDEONE SURFACE PROTECTED

Single-side silicone coated fiberglass showing an orange coated face and white uncoated reverse

Single-side coated

SURFACE ASilicone coatedSURFACE BUncoated fiberglass

Only one surface requires protection
Lower finished weight is preferred
The untreated side is incorporated into another structure

02DOUBLE-SIDEBOTH SURFACES EXPOSED

Double-side silicone coated fiberglass folded to reveal orange coating on both faces

Double-side coated

SURFACE ASilicone coatedSURFACE BSilicone coated

Both sides are exposed
Improved handling and abrasion resistance are required
Additional surface sealing is preferred

04COATING LEVEL

More silicone is not automatically better

A higher coating weight can improve surface coverage, abrasion resistance and sealing, but may increase cost, finished weight and stiffness.

05TEMPERATURE CLARIFICATION

Evaluate the coating and substrate separately

The fiberglass substrate and silicone coating do not have the same service limits. VETEX confirms suitability against the buyer's approved data and operating conditions.

07BUYER QUALITY CHECK

Same gsm does not mean the same performance

Compare the complete construction—not only the headline finished weight.

Coating uniformity

Pinholes

Finished-weight tolerance

Fabric flatness

Flexibility

Surface condition

Batch consistency

PURCHASING & SPECIFICATION

Qualify the fabric on your production line.

Compare the base cloth, coating and finished surface separately, then assess them together in your final product.

Start with what you are buying for

Insulation-jacket manufacturers

Identify hot and cold faces, outdoor exposure, oil or cleaning contact, sewing requirements and maintenance handling.

Joint & connector fabricators

Specify layer position, movement, medium, pressure and the required sealing assessment of the assembled component.

Include in your RFQ

01
Base cloth + coating
Send weave, base weight, coating weight per side, finished weight and thickness with tolerances where known.
02
Surface & fabrication
Define single or double side, color reference, surface feel, pinhole acceptance, cutting and sewing requirements.
03
Service conditions
Describe heat duration, moisture, oils or chemicals, abrasion and movement. Identify any required test method.
04
Like-for-like trial
Provide the current datasheet or sample, usable width, roll length and quantity. Agree acceptance checks before switching suppliers.

EQUIVALENT / SECOND-SOURCE EVALUATION

Need an alternative to your current specification?

Send the existing datasheet, current grade or physical sample details. VETEX will compare the base fabric, coating side, finished weight, thickness, width, surface and required testing.
