isoGLAS ® Base material textured E-glass Fibre diameter Made in a mechanical drawing process, defined diameter 6 - 13 µm no fibres passing the lung! Application limit 450°C Short peaks up to 550°C Characteristics of isoGLAS ® rot proof dimensionally stable chemical resistance pH 3-9 no toxic components friendly to the skin no health risks high strength good electrical insulation good thermal insulation incombustible Products available yarns, packings, woven fabrics, cords, sleevings, fire blankets, needlemats, tapes, knitted ropes

Base material 82 ± 2 % ceramic staple fibres 18 ± 2 % cellulose as carrier fibre core made from chromesteel wire Application limit with chromesteel wire: --> 1100°C Carrier Necessary for spinning the ceramic fibre, the carrier material decomposes at 200 C. When the material is heated up for the first time smoke development and a flaming up is noticeable. Loss on ignition approx. 18% Metal core Provides strength when the carrier material has decomposed. When used under stress, the carrier material determinesthe temperature limit. Characteristics of isoKERAM ® high chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, rot proof, incombustible resistant to hydrolyse outstanding insulation properties Products available Yarns, packings, sleevings, woven fabrics, woven tapes, cords, sealing cords

Base material isoTHERM ® 800 Roving Fibre diameter 9 - 14 µm no fibres passing to the lungs acc. to TRGS Application limit 700°C Short peaks up to 800°C Characteristic colour green Please note: When heated up, the material will lose its colour, this however does not influence the temperature resistance of the material! Properties of isoTHERM ® 800 non hazardous to health, high strength, good electrical properties, good thermal insulation, Incombustible, rot proof, dimensionally stable, chemical resistance pH 3 – 9, no toxic components, friendly to the skin Products available Yarns, packings, woven fabrics, safety blankets, sleevings, knitted ropes, cords, woven tapes

Base material E-glass filament Fibre diameter 6 µm no fibres passing to the lungs acc. to TRGS Application limit 850°C Short peaks up to 1000°C Chemical process Those components decreasing the melting point are dissolved out of the E-glass fibres by a controlled acid treatment, in return the temperature resistance has been drastically increased. Characteristic colour blue Please note: When heated up, the material will lose its colour, this however does not influence the temperature resistanceof the material! Approval A1 acc. to DIN 4102 for fabrics Properties of isoTHERM ® 1000 non hazardous to health, rot proof, dimensionally stable, chemical resistance pH 3 – 9, high strength, no toxic components, friendly to the skin, good electrical properties, good thermal insulation, incombustible Products available Yarns, packings, woven fabrics, safety blankets, sleevings, woven tapes, cords, knitted ropes

Base material silica glass Fibre diameter 6 - 9 µm Application limit 1050°C short peaks up to 1100°C Shrinkage isoTHERM ® S --> < 8 % isoTHERM ® ST --> < 3 % (heat treated) Characteristic colour white Products available Cords, sleevings, woven fabrics, needlemats, woven tapes, packings
