Details
Brief Introduction
Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric is woven basalt fabric coated with silicone rubber on one side or both sides. It provides overseas buyers with a practical basalt-based solution for expansion joints, removable insulation jackets, fire curtains, flexible connectors, heat shields and protective covers. The product combines the inherent thermal and corrosion resistance of basalt fiber with a construction selected for handling, conversion and end-use performance.
The quoted grade should always be matched to the actual service environment. Buyers should identify the required dimensions, construction, continuous and peak temperatures, contact medium, mechanical load, installation method and applicable test standard. The final construction, surface treatment and packaging can then be adjusted to the approved purchasing specification.
Product Advantages
-Flexible sealed surface.
-Reduced shedding.
-Weather resistance.
-Color and finish options.
-Basalt-based construction provides a non-asbestos, corrosion-resistant alternative for appropriate industrial applications.
-The product can be supplied in OEM dimensions and packaging when production capability and minimum order quantity are confirmed.
Types by Construction or Weave Pattern
One-side silicone coating: One face provides a sealed, flexible barrier while the reverse basalt surface remains available for bonding, sewing or contact with insulation.
Two-side silicone coating: Both faces are sealed for improved cleanability, reduced permeability, balanced handling and fabrication into curtains, connectors and covers.
Product Classification
-Product family: Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric.
-Construction or product form: One-Side Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric or Two-Side Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric.
-Surface condition: uncoated or product-specific treatment as stated in the product name and approved specification.
-Supply grade: standard industrial grade, converter grade, OEM grade or custom grade.
-Commercial size range: 0.4-3.5 mm finished thickness; coating weight by agreement.
Product Performance
The principal commercial benefit of Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric is flexible sealed surface, reduced shedding, weather resistance, color and finish options. Performance depends on yarn grade, construction density, surface treatment, dimensions and the severity and duration of exposure. Basalt fiber normally provides useful heat stability and resistance to many corrosive environments, but compatibility must be confirmed with the actual chemical, pressure, abrasion and thermal cycle.
-Thermal performance: specify continuous service temperature, short-term peak temperature, exposure duration and whether radiant heat or direct flame is present.
-Mechanical performance: Flexible sealed surface; verify tensile, tear, compression, abrasion or flex data appropriate to the product form.
-Fire performance: test the finished product because sizing, binder, coating, adhesive, foil and sewing materials can change flame spread, smoke and after-flame behavior.
-Chemical performance: verify resistance to the named acid, alkali, oil, fuel, steam, salt, solvent or process gas at the specified concentration and temperature.
-Quality consistency: control appearance, dimensions, mass, construction, treatment add-on, roll or coil length and batch traceability.
Technical Data Parameters
The following items should appear on the final technical data sheet or purchase specification:
-Primary size range: 0.4-3.5 mm finished thickness; coating weight by agreement.
-Construction: One-Side Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric or Two-Side Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric.
-Material composition: basalt fiber content plus complete identification of sizing, binder, coating, adhesive, film, foil, core or sewing thread where applicable.
-Dimensional data: nominal width, diameter, section, thickness, length and the agreed tolerance for each relevant dimension.
-Physical data: mass per unit area or length, density, coating add-on, porosity or air permeability when relevant.
-Mechanical data: tensile strength, tear strength, compression recovery, abrasion resistance, peel strength or burst strength as applicable.
-Thermal data: continuous temperature, short-term peak, linear shrinkage, thermal conductivity or radiant-heat performance when required.
-Finished color and appearance: natural basalt color or coating-dependent color, with an agreed visual acceptance standard.
-Supply form: roll, reel, coil, bag, carton or pallet, including unit length, joints policy, core size and labeling.

FAQ
Q: What information is required to quote Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric?
A: Specify 0.4-3.5 mm finished thickness; coating weight by agreement, required construction, operating temperature, exposure medium, installation method, quantity, destination and applicable test standard.
Q: How should a buyer select the correct type of Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric?
A: Select first by function, then by construction, dimensions, mechanical demand, thermal cycle and chemical exposure. A sample trial is recommended when replacing another material.
Q: What continuous and peak temperatures can Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric withstand?
A: The values must be confirmed for the complete finished construction. Continuous service, short-term peak, radiant exposure and direct flame are different conditions, and the lowest-rated component controls the product rating.
Q: Can Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric be customized for OEM orders?
A: Yes. Dimensions, construction, surface treatment, color, unit length, packaging and private labeling can be discussed, subject to manufacturing capability and MOQ.
Q: How is Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric installed or processed?
A: The method depends on the product form and may include wrapping, clamping, sewing, bonding, molding or mechanical fastening. The buyer should approve installation instructions and accessory compatibility before use.
Q: Does Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric contain asbestos?
A: Basalt fiber products are normally manufactured as non-asbestos materials. A supplier declaration or third-party report should support any formal compliance claim.
Q: Which Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric types are available?
A: The available product names are One-side silicone coating, Two-side silicone coating. Selection depends on the required structure, drape, compression, surface behavior or fabrication method.
Q: Can different Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric types be supplied under one project?
A: Yes. A project may use more than one Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric type, but every type should have its own item code, dimensions, acceptance criteria and packaging label.
Q: What is the specific advantage of One-Side Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric?
A: One-side silicone-coated basalt fiber fabric combines a sealed silicone face with an exposed basalt face. This construction is useful when the finished part needs splash protection on one side and sewing, bonding or insulation contact on the other. The final choice should be confirmed against the buyer's temperature, chemical, mechanical and installation requirements.
Q: What is the specific advantage of Two-Side Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric?
A: Two-side silicone-coated basalt fiber fabric has sealed faces on both sides for improved cleanability, handling and flexible barrier performance. It is suited to fire curtains, covers, connectors and removable insulation jackets. The final choice should be confirmed against the buyer's temperature, chemical, mechanical and installation requirements.
Q: How should the coating or lamination on Silicone-Coated Basalt Fiber Fabric be specified?
A: State coating chemistry, coated side, color, add-on or finished mass, adhesion requirement, flexibility, operating temperature and the exact chemical or weather exposure.
