Raw materials are not available for standalone purchase; instead, they are intended to be integrated into a tailor-made, custom-engineered solution.

GRAPEX 1000 is a flame-resistant, heat-resistant material based on a glass fabric reinforced with stainless steel threads and an intumescent graphite coating.

Typical material properties

  • Glass fabric with stainless steel threads
  • Intumescent graphite coating
  • Weight per unit area: approx. 1000 g/m²
  • Thickness: approx. 0.97 mm
  • Temperature range: -50 °C to +180 °C

Typical areas of application

  • Flame retardant and fire protection applications
  • Active heat protection in case of fire exposure
  • Commercial vehicle and industrial applications

Specifications

  • Basis weight:1000 +/-15% g / m²
  • Thickness:0.97 +/-15%mm
  • Binding:Panama
  • Tensile strength of warp (raw fabric):900 +/-10% N / cm
  • Tear strength weft (raw fabric):800 +/-10% N / cm
  • Temperature behavior:The non-reversible expansion of the expandable graphite begins at approx. 180°C and protects against further exposure to heat and fire
  • Burning behavior:self-extinguishing
