The instrinsic electrical and thermal properties of fiber glass fabrics were instrumental in their early acceptance in  high temperature electrical insulation. Combined with alkyd varnishes, silicon resins, silicon rubber, PTFE, mica or pressure sensitive adhesives and slit into tapes, these products continue to be used widely in electrical equipment of all kinds. Fiber glass fabrics in combination with thermosetting epoxy resins constitute the basic raw material for printed circuit boards, where the thermal, electrical, dimensional stability and mechanical property contributions of fiber glass fabrics to the laminate find maximum utilization. Lightweight fiber glass fabrics are used extensively in multilayer printed circuitry, imparting a high degree of dimensional stability to these products as well as to flexible electrical products.

Strength contributions of fabrics combined with ease of fabrication of composites has resulted in the acceptance of composites in many industries. Many aerospace/aircraft components, ranging from radome, wing-to-fuselage fairings and wing flaps on exteriors to entire cabin and cargo hold interior sidewalls, are made of fiber glass fabric reinforced thermosetting resin composites, where high strength, low weight and part reliability are necessary design criteria.

Fiber glass fabrics are coated with extensive applications in recreational consumer products, such as fishing rods, golf club shafts, vaulting poles, skies, bows and arrows, protective helmets, hockey sticks and antennas, among others.These take advantage of fiber glass fabric's contribution  to strong lightweight flexible products.

The uses of fiber glass fabrics in the manufacture of high strength, corrosion resistant pipes has the advantage that large sections of pipes can be quickly made compared to other pipe manufacturing  processes.

Woven fiber glass products continue to find widespread applications in both the marine and tooling industries.

Fiber glass fabrics are coated with a variety of thermoplastic resins, rubbers or elastomers for use in flexible air ducts, air supported structures, conveyer belts, welding curtains ceiling board facing, gaskets, pipe jacketing, pressure sensitive tape, window shades, movie screens and  the like . We undertake coatings of PTFE, Silicon, Polyurethane, PVC, EVA, acrylic, graphite,Viton,phenol formaldehyde.

Fiber P.T.F.E coated fabric are generally available with both side coating on closed and open surfaces in different thickness and weight. For application that place high priority on impermeability of P.T.F.E coatings, the surface can be laminated with a fluoroplastic film which is under development.

Silicon, PU, PVC, EVA are available in both side and single side coating. PU is usable in the temperature range of -40^oC to +120^oC. While Silicon coated fabrics can be used without limitations in the temperature range of 60^oC to +220^oC with the help of special additives, its thermal resistance can be increased upto 250^oC.

Viton coated fabrics ,finds its application mostly in nonmetallic-expansion joints and are available in both sided coated forms.

PVC is the low cost material that is also suitable for high frequency welding, and is widely used to coat polyester fabrics.

Acrylic, EVA are mostly used for imparting anti-fraying charcteristics to fiber glass fabrics.

Graphite used by KETEX has a highly specialised characteristics and is used in conjunction with acrylic, P.T.F.E and sometimes in pure form for imparting semi-conducting properties.

Filtration Fabrics

In the above area Glass Fibre fabrics are still the most suitable filter media for dust laden hot gases , as it possess the best temperature resistant properties ,dimensional stability ,lowest elongation and is more easily heat-set.The fabric woven out of continuous and texturised fibre glass yarn is given special finishes to increase its abrasion-resistance and its flexing properties.

Fibre glass fabrics are found to be suitable for filtration of molten Aluminium and alloys.Glass fabrics produced from high twist yarn,ensure accurate maintenance of the pore size and shape arrests oxides and inclusions simultaneously,which promotes easy flow and resists the high temperature.Further,a special ceramic coating is applied which holds the yarn in position until set by -80^oC - 710^oC pour heat.
