How Zetex® and ZetexPlus® Fabrics Enhance Heat Resistance?
In industries where extreme temperatures are routine, such as metalworking, foundries, power generation, and aerospace, thermal protection is not optional. Materials used in these environments must maintain their structural integrity while insulating against radiant and conductive heat. Newtex Industries has been a trusted leader in developing advanced high-temperature textiles, including the renowned Zetex® and ZetexPlus® fabrics. These fiberglass-based materials have become the standard for applications that demand superior heat resistance and durability. The Science Behind Zetex® Fabrics Zetex® fabrics are woven from high-quality texturized fiberglass yarns. Texturization is a process that transforms continuous glass filaments into a bulked, fluffy structure - similar to how wool traps air within its fibers. This trapped air creates millions of microscopic insulating pockets throughout the yarn. Because air is a poor conductor of heat, it dramatically reduces ther...
