Our Black Silica Cloth is a specialised grade of heat resistant insulation fabric designed for extreme temperatures and environments. This cloth consists of a base layer of woven amorphous silica that is coated with a black oxide finish giving it its colour.
The black finish helps reduce glare and makes it exceptionally well suited for use in making welding blankets, screens and as an insulation cloth in areas where a black colour is desired.
Available by the linear metre (rolls are 914mm wide), this high-performance insulation fabric offers a variety of benefits; some of which include:
Black Silica Insulation Cloth from Swift Supplies has a maximum continuous operating temperature of 982°C. At that point, its insulation performance diminishes significantly but the cloth itself can withstand higher temperatures.
Melting point for this fabric is 1350°C.
At temperatures up to 982°C, our Black Silica is a highly effective insulation fabric the inhibits heat transference. Given the environments it is designed for, it is no surprise that this high-quality cloth is manufactured to tight tolerances. It contains 95% amorphous silica (SiO2) and 5% Aluminium Oxide (AI2O3).
Our Black Silica Cloth is fire resistant and even resists damage from molten metal. It also withstands radiant heat and is compatible with most aggressive chemicals and media.
Despite its strength, our black silica cloth is extremely flexible, durable and easy to work with. It can be sewn using standard equipment and cut with a good quality Stanley knife or scissors.
Unlike fibreglass, silica cloth does not usually cause skin irritation on most people.
The cloth does not fray as easily as fibreglass though care is suggested when cutting.
Our Black Silica Cloth is manufactured to a finished weight of 1200 grams per square metre. It utilises a tight, woven construction and does not easily catch or tear.
This industrial insulation fabric has a tensile strength of 3000 N / 25mm in the warp direction, 2500 N / 25mm in the fill.

Full rolls of our Black Silica Cloth are 45.7 Metres (50 Yeards) in length. This is the maximum number of metres we can supply in a single continuous length.
We will always supply in one continuous length whenever possible to maximise utility. The upper limit is 45.7 metres. Any order for less than this will be supplied in a continuous length.
