Do you know about fire blanket products? Heat-resistant products that can protect something from fire or heat hazards. Has it crossed your mind the material to make a fire blanket? Materials used to make fire blankets include fiberglass and quartz fiber cloth. Each company has superior materials to make this product.
Not only is it used to make fire blankets, but quartz fibers are also used in several life applications. Many electronic products use this material as the main material of manufacture. For example, watches, lenses, and even cellphones are made of quartz fiber.

How is Quartz Fiber Cloth Made?
Quartz fibers or better known as silica fibers, are made of pure crystals. This pure crystal is called quartz. Then the crystals obtained from nature are processed to become the materials needed. For example, if a company wants to make a fire blanket, it must turn crystals into fine fibers.
Suppose a company wants to make ceramic raw materials. So, the company needed quartz sand which was obtained by converting pure crystals into the form of sand. Quartz sand is widely used in industries such as the manufacture of ceramics, cement, glass, and others.
It’s the same with a quartz fiber cloth, which has to convert pure crystals into fine fibers. Do you know how to turn pure crystals into fiber form? The answer is with the help of the heating method.
Crystals that have been obtained from nature are heated to produce fibers. When the crystal is heated, the crystal filament is pulled. From the tensile filaments, fine threads are formed, which are known as quartz fibers.
Quartz fiber that has been produced from the heating process is then woven to produce quartz fiber cloth. Quartz fabric can be used for making fire blankets or fire fighting clothing because this fabric has heat-resistant properties. This material is also used as a composite material that is applied in the aviation sector.
Advantages of Quartz Fiber Cloth
In general, quartz or silicon base materials have the advantage of being able to withstand hot temperatures. Likewise, with products derived from quartz, namely quartz fiber cloth. Which also has the advantage of being resistant to heat.
Continuous exposure to high temperatures can reach 1050⁰C. This material is also capable of being at high temperatures up to 1300⁰C but in a short time.
This quartz fabric has excellent insulating properties, as well as a good level of resistivity as well. Thus, making this material has a long service life, or the term is durable. In addition, quartz fiber has good wave permeability properties. It has long stability and high tensile strength. And for the most familiar properties, this fiber has lightweight, heat resistance, and low thermal conductivity.
Application of Quartz Fiber Cloth
Apart from being used as a fire blanket, quartz fiber cloth is also used for several purposes. Among others, as a means of transmitting waves on rockets, as a sealing material, liquid filtration device, and as collecting dust from gas.
It is also used as protective equipment in a room or high-temperature place, as well as a thermal insulation cover cloth. This material has many uses. Not surprisingly, its heat-resistant nature makes this material more and more sought after by consumers.
On the other hand, quartz fiber is used as a filter in the exhaust gas of motorcycles and cars. It is also used as a welding agent for insulating materials and electrical insulation, as well as as a substitute for fibers with high silica content. If you are looking for this material, we are ready to help you to get it.
