PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coated glass fabric
Apronor >
To increase its performance, glass fabric can be treated with a PVC or polyvinyl chloride coating. This protective layer makes it :
- waterproof and dustproof,
- more resistant,
- versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, particularly in industry.
This technical textile is classified M1 and is available in 4 colours in our Apronor catalogue – grey, blue, red and black – for the French market and for export. Thanks to its twill weave and its thickness of 0.65 mm, it is resistant to high temperatures, breaking and tearing. As a result, it doesn’t warp easily, and all you need to do to assemble it is simply weld it together.
An insulating, non-flammable technical textile with M1 classification
PVC-coated glass fabric combines the performance of glass fibre – a natural, non-toxic material – with a polyvinyl chloride coating. So it is :
- resistant to high temperatures ;
- insulating ;
- resistant to many chemical agents ;
- gas-tight and liquid-tight ;
- solid ;
- flame-resistant.
PVC was chosen as the coating material, because it is made up of more than 50% mineral matter, namely salt. It lasts longer than other plastics, and its performance stays stable over time.
This fabric also conforms to current standards and has been classified M1. In the case of fire, it is non-flammable and burns down without causing any fire or dripping. To obtain this certification, which is delivered by independent laboratories approved by the Ministry of the Interior, it has been subjected to a number of tests.
Applications of this temperature-resistant fabric
Due to its M1 certification and its technical characteristics, PVC-coated glass fabric has high chemical resistance and can withstand high temperatures. Today, it is mainly used by our French and international customers in the following areas:
- foundry ;
- steel industry ;
- glass industry ;
- thermal insulation and insulation ;
- fire and heat protection.
It is used, for example, in the manufacture of protective tarpaulins, dividing screens, ventilation ducts and protective blankets.

Le polychlorure de vinyle, appelé communément PVC, est un matériau fusible utilisé notamment dans des process d’enduction sur textile. Cette enduction apporte une étanchéité à l’eau et à la poussière. Le tissu enduit de PVC peut être assemblé par soudure, apporte une étanchéité et une rapidité d’assemblage.
