Aluminum fabric

Properties of aluminum fabric

Aluminum fabric is a material covered with aluminum foil based on synthetic fibers (fiberglass, para-aramid). To increase chemical resistance and service life, the foil is additionally laminated with a polyethylene film that prevents oxidation.

There are several important characteristics when choosing a Aluminum fabric:

• composition and type of coating
• density
• mechanical strength
• flexibility (ability to repeat multiple bends of various configurations)
• reflective effect (IR attenuation factor)
• oxygen index
• sustainability (it does not emit toxic substances during operation)
• abrasion resistance
• resistance to aggressive environments, various weather factors, frost resistance

Aluminum fabric is a high-tech textile, a non-combustible and hardly-combustible material. The main characteristics of it are: light weight, high fire safety, chemical resistance, ease of use.

Recommended operating temperature range is from -60°С, up to +500°С. It can withstand short-term extreme loads up to 1000°C as well.

Applications of aluminum fabric

Aluminum fabric has been widely used in various industries and spheres of life. The foil is used in welding, architectural, construction works, chemical and food, oil refining and military industries.

The reflective ability of polished aluminum foil makes it possible to classify the foil fabric as a heat-insulating material and a class of reflective insulation.

Aluminized fiberglass as an industrial textile is widely used:

• in different types of insulation (thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, pipe cover protection)
• in air ducts and high-temperature steam pipelines
• fire and smoke protection
• in automotive industry
• in boiler rooms
• in metal filtration
• in high-rise buildings with increased requirements for fire safety
• in manufacturing of smoke protection structures, firefighting curtains, compensators and seals
• in workwear tailoring (cloaks, helmets, protective overalls for metallurgists, welders, suits for rescuers, firefighters)

Aluminized fiberglass fabric does not decay. It’s resistant to corrosion and the influence of microorganisms. Aluminum textile finds application in situations of constant change of weather conditions.

The use of foil fabric reduces fire hazard, heat loss and labor costs. Also foil fabric has found application in everyday life: you can purchase material for warming floors and walls.
