Koolmat
Insulation Silicone
KoolMat ®
insulation is a composite material of
silicone cured to the surface and weave of a
high temperature fiberglass substrate. The
silicone offers a great resistance to
abrasion, radiant heat, gasses and oils and
is suitable for continuous use at
temperatures up to 500º F. The fiberglass
side will withstand temperatures up to 1100º
F. KoolMat insulation also performs well at
low temperatures, remaining flexible down to
-40º F.

KoolMat Silicone |
|
KoolMat is a space age
material used in thousands of Commercial,
Industrial and Automotive applications.
KoolMat is a composite material of silicone
cured to the surface and weave of a high
temperature fiberglass substrate. Weighing
.72 per sq. foot and a thickness of .070.
Because the silicone attaches itself to the
textile, there is no separation, and no flow
of air or liquids through KoolMat. The
silicone offers a great resistance to
abrasion, radiant heat, gasses and oils. No
matter what temperatures. It is also an
excellent sound deadening device. KoolMat is
flexible and can be die cut to any shape or
size and still perform like no other
barrier. KoolMat is able to withstand 500° F
of radiant heat and up to 2000° F with a
ceramic backing. Used in 8O% of NASCAR and
accepted by NHRA in October 1994.

In this
example, Koolmat Insulation is used
in place of a refractive, a common
hi temperature fabric flex joint
material, due to its superior
durability in areas of temperatures,
environmental exposure, vibration
and sound dampening. The example
shown has been in place for several years
with no visible signs of
deterioration. |
