Since 1978, Newtex fabrics have been trusted to provide operational reliability, performance, and protection in the most demanding oil, gas, and chemical environments where extreme thermal protection is necessary when processing hydrocarbons. Our advanced heat resistant fabric and proprietary high temperature coatings have been time-tested in refineries and petrochemical facilities to provide superior sealing, heat shielding, insulation, encapsulation, and gasketing solutions. Newtex also provides custom expansion joints and multilayer seals for piping systems, valves, pumps, and flanges.

Uncoated and Coated tapes for high temperature gasketing, sealing & wrapping
Premium-grade Zetex® and ZetexPlus Tapes are tightly woven with texturized fiberglass yarn for enhanced strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and thermal insulation while reducing bolt pull-through.
ZetexPlus® Vermiculite tapes are coated with our proprietary ZetexPlus vermiculite coating which improves heat dissipation and boosts high temperature performance.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Wide range of sealing & insulation applications for piping, sealing & gasketing.
Chemical resistant conformable and durable rope for high temperature gasketing & sealing applications.
Fiberglass rope is conformable and durable, resistant to most acids and alkalis, and won't shrink or stretch. Zetex® Fiberglass Ropes are made by plying together and twisting or braiding the same highly texturized premium fiberglass yarns used to weave Zetex® Fiberglass Fabrics.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Wide range of sealing applications for piping sealing & gasketing.
Highly Flexible and high temperature resistance for fabric expansions joints and removable insulation systems
Z-Sil is a highly flexible fabric composed of more than 96% silica. It is ideally suited for fabric expansion joints and equipment protection for the hottest systems. Z-Sil withstands continuous operating temperatures up to 1800°F (980°C) and peak temperatures up to 2300°F (1260°C).
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Hot side layer on multi-layer insulation pads and jacketing.
Hot works protective cloth.
Zetex fabric with integrated Inconel steel wire for strength and high heat resistance
Zetex® Steel™ high temperature wire fabrics incorporate Inconel stainless steel wire to enhance heat resistance, increase strength and provide improved pad and seal integrity. This fabric integrates premium fiberglass yarns and stainless steel wires to provide superior strength and heat resistance.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Favored for use in pads and insulation jackets for diesel, turbine and equipment with heavy vibration and extreme heat.
Inorganic out-gas free flame resistant fabric ideal for PPE (welding & hot works protection), expansion joints, and lagging & encapsulation applications
ZetexPlus® fiberglass fabrics are widely used for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and for protection from heat and fire. This woven fiberglass fabric supports operating temperatures up to 1500°F / 815°C and peak temperatures up to 2000°F / 1095°C. This flame resistant fabric is made from inorganic materials so they will not produce hazardous out-gassing.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Equipment/personal protection against grinding sparks and extreme heat from welding and hot works.
Multi-layer fabric systems used as expansion compensators in high temperature processing equipment, piping, and in architectural systems for expansion and fire barriers.
Safety Apparel for Emergency Operations & Repair
Heavily insulated aluminized suit designed for fire entry and engulfment
Our X60 Advanced Fire Entry Suit features a Z-Flex® aluminized outer shell which reflects 95% of radiant heat and withstands radiant temperatures up to 3000°F (1650°C).A foil layer beneath the outer shell, and O-PAN heat barrier, and two layers of fiberglass insulation work together to provide maximum protection for extended exposure to extreme temperatures.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Foundries, petrochemical plants,processing facilities, and other environments in which workers are at risk for engulfment.
Heavily insulated aluminized suit designed to protect from extreme heat, sparks, and brief periods of engulfment or flashover
Our X50 Maintenance Suit features a Z-Flex® aluminized outer shell which reflects 95% of radiant heat and withstands radiant temperatures up to 3000°F (1650°C).A foil layer beneath the outer shell acts as a 2nd defense against extreme temperatures, two layers of fiberglass insulation provide protection even during extended exposure, and a neoprene vapor barrier for protection from steam, gas, and vapor.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
