There are many industrial processes that exude or transfer heat throughout components. Excess heat that is not controlled can damage machinery, negatively impact processes, and cause harm to humans. Therefore, offering the right protection is key. Thermal insulation tape is used in various applications to provide thermal protection and control heat transfer. This post will [...]

Textile manufacturing has a storied history. It was at the heart of the first industrial revolution, with mechanized cotton spinning representing one of the earliest automation technologies. Repetitive tasks that once required human labor–such as reeling and bundling–could now be subsidized with machinery, increasing worker outputs by a factor of almost 500. Innovation didn’t stop [...]

Ceramic insulation blankets are used across several industries in many heat processing applications. These blankets are produced with ceramic fibers of various chemical compositions and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures to offer protection for both equipment and personnel. Throughout this article, we will look at what ceramic insulation blankets are and what advantages they [...]

Flame retardant fabrics are safety solutions that play a crucial role in protecting people and products from fire. These products are designed to be durable and protective and are used in many applications across various industries. In this blog, we will look at speciality flame retardant fabrics that Mid-Mountain manufacturers and their key features. Flame [...]

Silicone-coated fiberglass fabrics are manufactured for use in a range of applications where high heat or flame resistance is required, as well as high levels of resistance against abrasion, chemicals, UV rays and weather conditions that could cause damage.  Throughout this blog post, we will look at the properties of silicone-coated fiberglass and what applications [...]

Neoprene-coated fabric is a material that is commonly used in industrial settings and high-temperature applications. The fabric serves as a protective barrier for many standard applications because the neoprene coating is resistant to abrasion, chemical agents and combustion. In this blog post, we will look at the uses of neoprene-coated fabric and its benefits. The [...]

Insulation fabrics serve a variety of purposes across the commercial and industrial sectors, but their primary use is to mitigate the transfer of heat between two objects. A secondary purpose of insulation fabric is to reduce the propagation of vibration, typically from moving machinery which could cause damage to interconnected subsystems. The applications of high-temperature [...]

High heat ropes are used as a seal in a wide range of high-temperature applications because of their outstanding thermal and mechanical properties. They can be manufactured from a range of substrates, and each material provides different benefits. In this blog post, we will outline what high heat ropes are, what applications they are [...]

Silicone-coated glass fabric is a material that is coated on both sides with specially formulated silicone rubber. Silicone is an excellent choice for heat-resistance applications because it is highly resistant to aging, weathering, and UV light. It is also water-resistant and smoke and flame retardant. In this article, we detail the key characteristics of [...]

Passenger boarding bridges (sometimes known as jet bridges, jetways, sky bridges, and more) are enclosed passageways, elevated off the ground extending from the terminal gate at the airport to the airplane. They allow passengers to disembark and board airplanes without needing to go outside and be exposed to the elements. Passenger boarding bridges come in [...]
