Weaving
 Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics Woven Fabrics, a new line of industrial woven fiberglass textiles intended to support our expanded role in the industrial coated fabrics market. These innovative textiles are offered in more than 40 common glass fabric styles in five product groups.
- Lightweight, plain weave, non-texturized fabrics
- Mid-and heavyweight non-texturized fabrics
- Texturized, plain-weave fabrics
- Complex-weave fabrics
- Leno weave and weave-mesh fabrics
*Ipc-44 12-Grade ASTM-D 578
Value and Performance
Broadly specified in six key industries:
- Plastic composite reinforcement
- Electrical and electronic substrates
- Coated and laminated fabrics
- Acoustical / thermal insulation and fire protection
- Construction materials and structural membranes
- High-temperature filtration media
SGTF Woven Fabrics are part of an extensive line of reinforcement fabrics, which include knit, laid scrim and made from fiberglass, carbon, polyester and aramid fibers.
Unique high-performance properties:
- Will not shrink or stretch
- Non-soluble; won't absorb moisture
- Breathable and mildew-resistant, will not decay or decompose
- Will not burn, combust or smoke when exposed to heat or flame
- Thermally stable from –500° to +1000° F
- Chemical-resistant, corrosion-resistant
- Strong and dimensionally stable
- High dielectric strength/ UV resistant
- Efficient thermal conductivity
- Durable, flexible and economical
* Size, finishes and coatings may affect properties
