HT750 Glass Fibre Technical Information
HT750 products are made from glass yarns which have been specially treated to withstand higher temperatures than “E” glass yarns. The higher temperature glass yarns are generally textured, voluminized or twisted and can also be reinforced with steel wire to increase the mechanical strength of the product.
HT glass fibre has the following key characteristics for thermal applications:
- Continuous temperature 700°C, short term 750°C in optimum conditions.
- High mechanical strength.
- Low thermal conductivity.
- Good dimensional stability.
- Good electrical properties.
- Good resistance to chemical agents.
- High thermal resistance.
- Incombustible.
- Good flexibility.
