Flame retardant lightweight flexible electroplated fiberglass fabric

Electroplated fiberglass fabric is a composite material composed of fiberglass fabric and electroplated coating. Electroplated fiberglass fabric combines the advantages of glass fiber cloth and electroplated coating, and has the characteristics of lightness, high temperature resistance, flame retardancy, wear resistance, smooth surface, no fading, low price, and wide application.

Product Description
Flame retardant electroplated fiberglass fabric

Flame Retardant Lightweight Flexible Electroplated Fiberglass Fabric

electroplated flame resistant flexible lightweight

Electroplated fiberglass fabric integrating flame retardancy, lightweight construction, and flexibility. The electroplating process deposits a nickel-copper alloy coating onto continuous filament fiberglass yarns, achieving surface resistivity ≤ 0.5 Ω/sq while maintaining a bend radius below 3 mm. The flame retardant additive (phosphorus-nitrogen compound) is incorporated into the sizing, delivering a limiting oxygen index ≥ 32% without compromising pliability.

Core Strengths

01

Flame Retardant

Phosphorus-nitrogen additive in sizing achieves LOI ≥ 32%, self-extinguishing per UL 94 V-0. No topical coatings that could degrade or wash off.

02

Lightweight

Areal weight of 180–220 g/m², approximately 40% lighter than conventional coated fabrics of equivalent thickness.

03

Flexible & Durable

Bend radius ≤ 3 mm with flexural endurance exceeding 2000 cycles (MIL-C-20696). Electroplated coating conforms to fibers without stiffening.

04

EMI Shielding

Nickel-copper alloy coating provides surface resistivity ≤ 0.5 Ω/sq, effective for electromagnetic interference shielding and static dissipation.

05

Corrosion Resistant

Protective nickel layer resists oxidation and corrosion, maintaining conductivity and mechanical properties in harsh environments.

Application Fields

  • Aerospace ducting and fireproof barriers
  • Automotive engine bay heat shields and wire harness wraps
  • EMI gaskets and shielding for electronic enclosures
  • Flexible heating element substrates
  • Protective sleeves for hydraulic and fuel lines
  • Composite tooling release layers with static control

Handling & Installation

Use sharp scissors or rotary cutters; electroplated edges do not fray. Avoid bending radii below 3 mm to prevent coating micro-cracks. Bond with silicone-based adhesives for high-temperature applications. Ground via conductive clips for EMI shielding effectiveness. Clean with isopropyl alcohol; avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the flame retardant mechanism of this fabric?
The flame retardant additive is a phosphorus-nitrogen compound incorporated into the sizing. It acts in the condensed phase by promoting char formation, which insulates the fiberglass and suppresses flame propagation.
How does electroplating affect flexibility?
The electroplating process deposits a thin, uniform metal layer (2–5 µm) that conforms to the fiber surface. Unlike foil lamination, this coating does not stiffen the fabric, maintaining a bend radius below 3 mm.
Can this fabric be washed or cleaned?
The material can be wiped with a soft cloth dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol. Do not immerse in liquids, and avoid high-pressure steam or ultrasonic cleaning.
What is the shelf life and storage condition?
Store in a cool, dry environment (15–30 °C, < 60% RH) away from corrosive fumes. The product has a shelf life of 24 months when stored in original packaging.
