for soft and rigid molds

SilkeMat® Is a NON-CARCINOGENIC refractory fiber blanket that can be cut, molded, rigidized and formed. It can be used with and without rigidizing. A high-grade boron nitride separator is suggested for a cleaner release from the glass when exceeding 1400F on rigidized SilkeMat®. There is no “shot” (tiny bits of silica) in this product and most firings are clean, leaving only the texture of the fiber on the glass. A respirator is NOT needed to cut or work with SilkeMat®.
