Textured fabrics are manufactured by weaving textured yarn in a specific weave pattern. Textured glass fibre fabrics (GT fabrics) are made from 2 types of glass: E-glass 600°C and HR-glass 800°C. Each glass type is providing its own specific qualities.
Textured glass fibre fabrics (GT) with thermal resistance of 600°C are made of alkali-free alumina borosilicate E-type glass fibre yarns. Textured yarns with a filament diameter of 6 and 9 µm are used for the production of textured fabrics.
Application: GT fabrics are used as heat and acoustic insulating material, as a heat absorber for compensators, and for the production of protective clothes.
Parameters:
Designation: e.g. GT-550 TS, where:
GT – type (E-glass textured fabric),
550 - mass per unit area,g/m²,
TS - edge type (tucked-in).
HR-glass (High-Resist glass) is alkali-free aluminosilicate glass that does not contain boron oxide. This glass type could fully substitute E-glass in various aspects. The most important feature of this type of glass is its heat resistance of up to 800°C.
Advantages of HR glass fibre compared to E-glass:
