Silicone coating makes Hi Temp materials resistant to bitumen, corrosive solvents and oils. These compounds will absorb into non-silicone coated fabrics which pose as a fire hazard and deteriorate there capability to protect against heat and sparks. Hi Temp`s silicone coating prevents fabric fraying and unraveling. The silicone coating Hi Temp applies also doesn’t produce harmful off gassing compared to other coated materials.
Neoprene coated materials release up to 9x more Hydrogen Cyanide than Hi Temp’s materials which is double OSHA`s threshold limits. Polyurethane coated materials are even worse releasing up to 20x more Hydrogen Cyanide than Hi Temp’s materials which is quadruple OSHA’s threshold limits.
Hi Temp’s silicone coatings make it ideal for the most extreme climates and results in the best protection available.

Absolutely no risk in handling the materials. We recommend safe lifting techniques when handling large rolls of the material; some are heavy enough to require two people.
Unfortunately not. Hi Temp has a custom item division to create anything you can imagine out of our material. We pride ourselves in understanding the industries concerns and creating solutions for them.
