High silica fabric is constructed from a 96% pure SiO2 silica fiber, a health-conscious alternative to asbestos and ceramic textiles. High Silica Fabric is widely used for applications that require high heat resistance, as well as abrasion and/or chemical resistance. It is also used for the safety of personnel and equipment, and as thermal barriers to reduce energy costs.
