Aluminized Fiberglass Fabric

What is Aluminized Fiberglass Fabric?

Aluminized Fiberglass Fabric is a composite material engineered by laminating a layer of aluminum foil (or a specialized aluminized polyester film) onto a base of high-quality fiberglass cloth.

The Science of Heat Reflection

Unlike standard insulation that merely slows down heat transfer (conduction), aluminized fabrics work on the principle of radiant heat reflection. The mirror-like surface can reflect upwards of 95% of radiant energy, preventing the base fiberglass from ever reaching its thermal limit.

Metalized vs. Aluminized: Clearing the Confusion

In the industry, these terms are often used interchangeably, but the manufacturing process dictates the performance:

Why These Fabrics are Mandatory: The “Non-Flammable” Factor

The core of both fabrics is E-Glass (Electrical Grade Glass). This isn’t your standard textile.

• Inherent Flame Resistance: Fiberglass is inorganic. It does not ignite, smoke, or support combustion.

• Temperature Thresholds: The base fiberglass can withstand continuous temperatures up to 550°C (1022°F).

• Thermal Barrier: The aluminum coating adds a secondary layer of protection, allowing the fabric to face radiant heat sources (like molten metal or engine blocks) that far exceed the melting point of the base material itself.

Critical Sectors and Applications

1. Aerospace and Defense

 Used for heat shields in jet engines, insulation for black boxes, and protecting hydraulic lines from the extreme temperatures of high-velocity flight.

2. Automotive and Racing

High-performance vehicles use metalized fiberglass to wrap headers, exhaust systems, and fuel lines. This keeps “under-the-hood” temperatures low, preventing “vapor lock” and protecting sensitive plastic components.

3. Industrial PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Foundry suits, proximity suits, and firefighting gloves rely on aluminized fabric to allow workers to stand inches away from molten steel without the internal temperature of the suit rising to dangerous levels.

4. Petrochemical and Marine

Used as “fire curtains” or removable insulation jackets for valves and flanges. In the event of a flash fire, these fabrics provide the critical seconds needed for emergency shutdown procedures.
