What precautions should be taken for daily maintenance of Fiberglass Fireproof cloth?
Proper maintenance can extend the life of fireproof cloth. Key points:
- Use appropriate cleaning methods: For minor stains, wipe with a dry or damp cloth. Fiberglass cloth should not be cleaned with a hard brush or water (to prevent fiber shedding).
- Store properly: After cleaning and drying, fold or roll the cloth and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid applying heavy pressure or prolonged compression to the folded area.
Can an expired fire blanket still be used?
Fire blankets do not have a clear "shelf life," but regular inspections are necessary:
- Check if the packaging is intact (to avoid moisture and insect damage);
- Inspect if the material is aged (e.g., whether fiberglass has become brittle or is shedding debris);
- Ensure the edge stitching is not loose (to prevent tearing during use).
It is recommended to inspect it every 2-3 years. For household fire blankets, replacement is advised every 5-8 years to ensure reliability.
Are the "thickness" and "weight" of knife-coated fabric important? What do they affect?
Thickness (typically 0.3mm-1.0mm) and weight (e.g., 400g/㎡, 600g/㎡) are directly related to strength: the thicker and heavier the fabric, the stronger its tensile resistance and impact resistance, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use or load-bearing scenarios (such as large billboards, tents). Lighter and thinner versions (300-400g) are more suitable for temporary setups or lightweight applications (such as exhibition backdrops). The choice should be based on the usage cycle and environment.
