GLASS FIBER |
 |
Textile glass fibers stand out among the different
organic and inorganic fibers as the most widely useable alternative
to asbestos, within their own limitations.
Glass textiles can be in continuous use at temperatures of up
to 450º C, being able to endure up to 600º C, if exposure
is short. They are fireproof, resistant to steam and most chemical
agents and have excellent tensile strength.
For the manufacture of different textiles, MONTERO FyE S.A. uses
9 micra diameter continuous filaments of "E" glass which have
been previously texturized.
This texturizing gives the threads a stable volume increase
and, with this, high quality insulating textile products are
obtained.

| New BIO CERAMIC FIBER |
New BIO-Bioceramic fibers are obtained by means of a smelting process of Alkaline-earth silicate wools (AES) that mainly consist of silica, calcia and magnesia mix.
By mixing these fibers with a small quantity of cellulosic fibres and inserting either "E" glass filament or steel wire as reinforcement, Bioceramic fiber threads can be obtained.
These textiles are characterized by excellent resistance to high temperatures, high resistance to thermal shocks and exceptional thermal insulation power.
Products manufactured with glass inserts can be used up to 650º C, while those that have metal inserts can be used in temperatures of up to 1,000º C.

HIGH TEMPERARURE GLASS FIBER |
 |
These products are manufactured from texturized
and twisted filament of calcium silicate. Due to the texturizing
and additional special coating, the insulating effect and the
abrasive resistance could be increased considerably.
They are manufactured from yarns with a fiber diameter of 6
and 9 micron.
The natural temperature resistance of these fibers is further
enhanced up to 700º C by the application of special selected
inorganic treatment before the weaving process takes place.
|
| SILICA FIBER |
By appling a suitable chemical and heat treatment
to glass fibers, they are converted into almost chemically pure
(98% SiO2) silica fibres.
Products obtained by this method are flexible and preserve intact
their mechanical resistance up to 850º C, being able to
endure continued exposure to temperatures above 1,200º
C.
These products are good insulators, both thermal and electrical,
and their resistance to chemical attack is exceptional.
