Heaterk® manufactures Fire Resistant Fabric and textiles designed for use as heat seals and insulation in moderate to severe environments.
In 2000, we started producing High Temp Fabric for use as seals for gas fireplaces and pellet stoves. Since then, we have designed a wide variety of textiles for use as heat seals and barriers in numerous industries.
Heaterk® heat resistant fabrics and textiles are made from a variety of substrates and have continuous operating temperatures (without oxygen present) from 400°F • 204°C to 5000°F • 2760°C. Many standard products are available in configurations of knitted or woven fabrics, knitted or woven tapes, knitted or woven ropes (round and square), and knitted or woven sleeves.
We can also laminate with foils or pressure sensitive adhesives, or apply special coatings for applications requiring increased heat, abrasion or chemical resistance.
Flame Retardant Fabric and Fire Retardant Fabric
Flame retardant fabrics and fire-resistant fabrics are two different classes of materials. Each class has unique properties that make them beneficial for high-temperature or open flame applications but uses other mechanisms.
Flame retardant fabric, also known as chemical flame retardant fabric, is a standard fabric treated with a unique flame retardant coating. They will burn but at a much slower rate than untreated traditional fabrics. Flame retardancy is divided into three groups: Flame Retardant (FR), Inherent Flame Retardant (IFR), and Durable Flame Retardant (DFR).
Flame retardant fabrics are made from typical synthetic fibers and resist fire with prolonged exposure to flames or high temperatures. Due to this structure, they are also sometimes referred to as inherently flame retardant fabrics. Instead of burning, these fabrics end up melting. Depending on the manufacturer, the degree of flame-retardant fibers inherent in materials can vary widely from a few percent of threads to a complete structure.

There are a huge range of warm immune materials, each with their very own particular residential properties making them matched to various applications.
Covered textiles are an usual heat resistant fabric that are made use of in numerous sectors. These materials are usually utilized for defense objectives as they obstruct the warmth.
Silica fabric and also fabrics are an additional kind of warm immune materials, as well as these materials have a constant operating temperature level of 982 ºC. The high resistance to a range of chemicals, reduced porosity, exceptional abrasion resistance, and also basic high toughness make them one of the hardest commercial fabric items in the globe.
Warmth immune textiles are additionally utilized in made components, particularly seals, coverings, and also drapes, which are made use of as thermal insulation obstacles.
Applications of Heat Resistant Fabric
Warmth immune textiles offer a wide variety of markets. The aerospace field advantages significantly from these kinds of materials, as plane elements run at severe temperature levels, which require to be consisted of far from the cabin as well as the cabin for comfy traveling.
The materials can be utilized to make sure freight containers are fireproof, for smoke seals in the cabin, in jet engine elements as well as seals.
The robotics sector additionally greatly depends on heat resistant fabric for security objectives. Robotics are frequently utilized in problems that are as well unsafe for human beings, such as extreme warm. These textiles are utilized as robotic defense covers to lower the danger of damages as well as to conserve the expenses connected with any type of repair work.
Silica fabric is commonly utilized in welding applications as its warm resistance supplies superb defense of workers and also devices.
Warmth immune materials are additionally a prominent selection where heat heating systems are made use of, as they can be utilized as cellular linings, heaters, and also troughs. The high-temperature resistance makes it possible for these textiles to guarantee the cellular linings as well as add-ons within a heating system are secured without the threat of melting in the very heats. Added residential properties such as sprinkle and also rust security is additionally readily available for heating systems.
Since 2000, Heaterk has reached cooperative relationships with many companies, providing flame retardant insulation solutions for up to 2,000 projects in 115 countries worldwide.
We have sufficient experience to provide professional services for different standards, countries, and projects worldwide. We are familiar with and understand the standards and requirements of various countries and are always ready to accept any challenges.
