Graflex®

TBA has developed patented finishes which significantly improve the performance of the textile substrate and its suitability for particular applications.

Flexibility, Graflex® the addition of graphite and silicone emulsion to standard textured Fortaglas products allow the constituent glass filaments to slide freely over one another, greatly improving flexibility at elevated temperatures.

Wear Resistance, Graflex® improves scuff and abrasion resistance.

Chemical Resistance, Graflex® resists most acids, alkalis, solvents and other corrosive liquids and gases.

Heat Resistance, Graflex® will resist continuous temperatures of up to 600°C and short term surges of up to 1000°C. When flexibility is of secondary importance Graflex® is recommended without the addition of silicone emulsion to maximise temperature resistance.
