Textured fabric types

Textured glass fibre fabrics (type GT) are made of alkali-free alumina borosilicate E-type glass fibre yarns. Textured yarns with a filament diameter of 6 and 9 µm are used for the production of textured fabrics, type GT.

Application: GT fabrics are used as heat and acoustic insulating material, as a heat absorber for compensators, and for the production of protective clothes.

Parameters:

• mass per unit area: 280 up to 1200 g/m²;
• GT type fabrics are manufactured with cut and/or tuck-in selvedge.

Designation: e.g. GT-550 TS, where GT means fabric made of textured yarns (textured fabric); 550-mass per unit area, g/m²; TS-edge type (tucked).

HR-glass is alkali-free aluminosilicate glass that does not contain boron oxide and fluorine. This glass type could fully substitute E-glass in various aspects. The most important feature of this type of glass is its thermal resistance of up to 800°C.

Advantages of HR glass fibre compared to E-glass:

• better chemical resistance, particularly in acidic, as well as alkaline and water environments;
• better thermal resistance;
• better dielectric properties;
• equal durability;
