Features of technical fabric
Technical fabrics are widely demanded in many areas of Ukrainian industry.
They can be blended, with natural fibers base, synthetic and mineral.
Depending on the purpose, industrial fabrics have a number of special properties. Important characteristics when choosing technical materials can be:
- density and type of weave (plain, twill, satin)
- resistance to fungi, molds, decay and decomposition
- heat resistance and non-combustibility
- wear resistance and strength
- environmental friendliness and non-toxicity
- low thermal conductivity
- resistance to aggressive environments, ultraviolet, surfactants, radiation
- vibration resistance
- softness and hygroscopicity
One and the same material can perform several specific functions.
Technical fabric is classified depending on the purpose and composition:
- fiberglass
- basalt
- silica
- asbestos
- polyester
- natural with impregnation (tarpaulin)
- rags
Fiberglass fabric and silica materials are processed with different types of impregnation, lamination and coating (aluminized film, silicone, polyurethane, vermiculite, polyester resin). Processing is combined, one- and two-sided.
Fields of application of technical fabrics
The fields of application of technical fabrics determine the requirements for their specific properties. Most often, fiberglass and other technical fabrics are used in industry, aircraft construction, repair work, construction, in turbine production, filters, gasket rings.
Technical fabrics are used as:
- insulation and thermal insulation
- cleaning materials
- waterproof barrier
- fireproof protection
- industrial filters
- interleaves fabric
- membranes
- reinforcing materials
Technical fabrics can also be bought for sewing protective clothing, raincoats, gloves, boots, production of advertising banners, covers, awnings and tents.
Technical fabric from STG
STG company offers technical fabric Alfa Maritex. It is glass fiber with an aluminized coating.
The aluminized coating has an excellent heat-reflecting effect and protects against infrared radiation. The fiberglass base provides resistance to short-term exposure to extreme temperatures.
Reliable thermal protection is suitable for sewing overalls that protect against exposure to intense infrared radiation and open flame (rescue suits, firefighters).
Tailred products based on Alfa Maritex material are characterized by hygiene and environmental friendliness.

FAQ
✂ What influences the quality of the work wear?
80% of a work wear's quality is fabric.
👷 Why do you need a trial wear testing?
Trial wear testing is the most effective way to determine if the claimed characteristics correspond to reality, which allows you to avoid emotional evaluation, but focus on protective properties and benefits.
