ALUMINIZED FABRIC EGLA 200 AL

ALUMINIZED FIBERGLASS FABRIC WITH THERMAL SHIELD

EGLA 200 AL is an E-glass fiberglass fabric of 200 gsm, aluminized on one side with a 12 microns aluminium film. The aluminized face of the fabric performs as a thermal shield, blocking radiant heat transference and enhancing thermal insulation before convective heat sources or direct flames. While fiberglass fibers bring dimensional stability, mechanical resistance and thermal resistance, the set can be able to withstand temperatures up to 450ºC in continuous works and 550ºC in working peaks.

EGLA 200 AL aluminized fabric is a very versatile flame retardant fabric for very diverse applications, where protection before high temperatures is required. The aluminized side is totally waterproof, suitable to protect before oil and organic acid spills. Its main use is to cover and plug objects that are sensible to high temperatures or direct flames. It also can perform as a thermal shield before radiant heat sources. Besides its flame retardant features, Texfire does not recommend to use EGLA 200AL aluminium fabric as a fire blanket, nor in welding works.

This fabric has the official certification EN 13501-1 - Classification, depending on the behavior against fire, of construction products and building elements - Obtaining the A2-s1-d0 classification. It has also been tested in Texfire’s internal laboratories according to regulation UNE-EN ISO 15025 - Test method for limited flame spreading – obtaining A1-A2 classification. Regarding the performed tests of radiant and convective heat, it obtained a B1 result according to ISO 9151 - Determination of heat transmission in exposition to a flame. - and a C4 result according to ISO 6942 - Evaluation of materials and sets of materials when exposed to a radiant heat source.
