What Are Fabric Expansion Joints?

Fabric expansion joint is a non-metallic “fabric” belt type. It is used for high temperature flue gas, lower pressure gaseous service, and used to add flexibility to industrial ducting systems and blower and fan connections, reduce noise and vibration, used for displacement compensation. They are needed in a wide array of building HVAC system, air conditioner inlet and outlet, smoke exhaust fan, smoke exhaust duct, industries, pulp & paper, power, petrochemical, along with countless other industrial facilities. When selecting a flexible expansion joints fabric material, you must konw these major points: tensile strength, temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, susceptibility to flutter/vibration, chemical resistance, weather Proofing. Fabric expansion joints Materials include elastomers, silicone coated fiberglass fabrics, EPDM reinforced with fiberglass, fluororubber coated fiberglass fabric, neoprene coated fiberglass fabric, wire reinforced glass fabric, silica fabric, PTFE fiberglass fabric, PU coated fiberglass fabric, etc. The price of each expansion joints material is inconsistent, the silicone coated fabric is a relatively economical fireproof fabric.

How about making fabric expansion joints with silicone coated fiberglass fabric?

It is a common way to make expansion joints with double-sided silicone coated fiberglass fabric. Our silicone coated fiberglass has many advantages, such as fireproof, high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, susceptibility to flutter/vibration, high strength, chemical resistance, waterproof, weatherproof, etc. The temperature resistance range of silicone coated fiberglass is -50 C degrees to 550 C degrees. We are a Chinese manufacturer specializing in the production of silicone coated fiberglass cloth, and we also produce fabric expansion joints. Our factory has developed a variety of silicone glass cloth for expansion joint. Weight, thickness, color can be customized.
