Aluminum Foil Fiberglass Fabric
WT offers aluminum foil fiberglass fabrics with thicknesses ranging from 0.005″ to 0.08″ (with a weight range of 2.2 oz/yd² to 33 oz/yd²). Aluminum fabrics serve as thermal insulation materials and provide excellent protection for personnel and equipment in high heat and radiant heat environments.
WT’s aluminum foil fabric uses a specialized lamination process that bonds an aluminum-coated film to one or both sides of a fiberglass cloth or other base material. This process enhances the material’s heat reflective capability and heat resistance. The aluminum foil layer can endure temperatures up to 487°F (253°C), while the high-temperature adhesive withstands up to 350°F (175°C). As such, WT recommends using aluminum foil fiberglass cloth in static or insulating applications where its properties excel.
WT also provides custom services and industry-specific solutions for aluminum foil fabrics, which are widely used in casting curtains, molten metal splash protection, expansion joints, mechanical insulation covers, and other applications.

Structure and Features
WT’s aluminum foil fiberglass fabric offers exceptional performance in extreme high heat environments. Engineered to handle continuous temperatures up to 2912°F (1600°C) on the fiberglass cloth side, it provides reliable thermal insulation and heat shielding for demanding applications such as heat-resistant metal casting, industrial safety apparel, and heat shields for molding and firefighting operations.
The aluminum foil surface is specifically designed to resist temperatures up to 300°F (150°C), making it ideal for proximity suits and molten metal splash protection in industries handling molten materials. Exceeding this threshold may impact the heat reflective and structural integrity of the foil. However, the fiberglass base fabric maintains its stability and thermal insulation properties up to 1022°F (550°C), ensuring consistent protection against radiant heat and extreme thermal conditions.
WT’s aluminum foil fiberglass cloth complies with international safety standards, including:
- ISO 9151: Assesses heat shielding and thermal insulation effectiveness.
- ISO 15025: Evaluates limited flame spread performance.
- ISO 6942: Ensures resistance to high temperature environments.

- Equipment shielding from thermal damage and radiant heat.
Aluminized Fabric
Aluminized fabrics are created by spraying or depositing aluminum powder onto a base fabric, offering lightweight heat shielding and flexibility. These fabrics are suited for dynamic applications requiring UV protection and thermal reflectivity.
Key Features:
- Reflects up to 90% of radiant heat.
- Temperature Resistance: Aluminum layer up to 392°F (200°C); base fabric up to 572°F (300°C).
- Lightweight with excellent UV resistance.
