Details

Highlights
  • Flexible fabric woven from 3M™ Nextel™ 312 High Temperature Continuous Ceramic Oxide Fiber
  • Good mechanical properties at high temperatures
  • Fabric is thermally and chemically stable
  • Thermal shock resistant
  • Thin and low areal weight
  • Non‐hygroscopic for low moisture absorption

3M™ Nextel™ Fabric AF-10, woven from 312 Grade continuous filament ceramic 600 denier served roving, is designed to withstand continuous temperatures up to 2200°F (1204°C). Light weight with low air permeability, AF-10 is ideal for high temperature industrial and aerospace applications, and is available both sized and heat cleaned. Standard width: 38 inches.

3M™ Nextel™ Fabric AF‐10, is woven from Nextel 312 high temperature continuous ceramic oxide fiber and is designed to withstand continuous high temperatures and can act as a flame barrier. It’s designed to withstand continuous high temperature, passing FAA’s flame penetration test. Due to the unique properties of Nextel 312 fiber, these products outperform the useful limits of many other high temperature textiles. Our Nextel fabric AF‐10 is often used as a component in flame barriers, high temperature seals. It may also be used as a reinforcement for ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and polymer matrix composites (PMC).

Applications

  • Flame barrier and firewall components
  • Flame resistance for struts, thrust reversers, fan cowl doors and aircraft engines
  • Reinforcement in high temperature gaskets and seals
