Properties of Zetex and Zetex Plus Textiles

flame Zetex and ZetexPlus fabrics are proven, time-tested fabrics used for many industrial applications: insulation for turbine engines, expansion joints, heat reflectors, welding blankets, asbestos encapsulation
a Zetex and ZetexPlus are not only high temperature resistant, but can also withstand cold temperatures to -100°F (-73°C).   Materials have an average K-value of 0.3399 BTU/inch/hr/sq ft/°F.
a High dielectric strength and low constant of 5.9 to 6.4
a Zetex and ZetexPlus fabrics are chemical resistant - resisting most acids, alkalies and solvents. The fabrics are also mildew resistant
a Durable fabric made from texturized silica glass yarns that are twice as strong as steel wire of the same diameter
a ZetexPlus proprietary coating provide low smoke emissions
a Aluminized Zetex fabric reflects 90% of radiant heat
a Newtex offers high quality custom fabrication in a wide variety of styles and sizes
a Fabrics are UL listed and exceed European EN407 industrial standards
a Made in USA
