From Stone to Fireproof Fabric: The Magic of Fiberglass

Can rock become soft, fire-resistant fabric?

Yes. Fiberglass fireproof cloth starts as ordinary minerals like quartz and limestone. These stones are melted, drawn into ultra-fine fibers, woven into fabric, and coated with special compounds. The result is a material that is both flexible and incredibly tough.

Suntex, a major manufacturer in China’s fiberglass fireproof insulation industry, masters this transformation.

Using fiberglass, aramid, and ceramic fiber fabrics, Suntex applies advanced processes such as knife coating and dip coating to impart properties including high-temperature resistance, strength, anti-aging, insulation, weather resistance, and protection against chemicals, water, and oil. Yet the material stays soft, easy to process, and adaptable.

Suntex’s fabrics are used in removable insulation jackets, fire curtains, welding blankets, flexible connectors, non-combustible air ducts, and expansion joints — serving industries from petrochemical and power generation to aviation, mining, and shipbuilding.

From stone to safety. Suntex.
