   VERMACITE PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Vermacite is twill weave, heat treated thermoglass textile coated with a unique Mica/Mineral blend. This coated glass product has improved abrasion resistance and increased tensile strength over standard high quality fiberglass cloth. The key benefits are superior heat insulation, and high flame resistance (up to 2000 deg. F). The proprietary coating reduces air flow through the fabric blanket.
