STEEL-NIT FABRIC

Steel-Nit fabric, for use as a covering on removable insulation pads, combines all the advantages of conventional coverings, including maximum strength, durability, and high-temperature resistance, with cloth-like flexibility.
​
Constructed entirely from metal wire, Steel-Nit is one of the most durable insulation coverings available. When applied to the hot side of the pad, it provides protection for insulation from direct heat contact. When applied to the outer jacket material it provides protection for insulation from exterior abrasion, resists penetration from sharp objects, and will not break down from constant vibration.
​
Flexibility is achieved through a unique knitted construction process which produces a circular mesh of interlocking loops. Since the loops remain unattached to one another, movement is permitted between them without distortion to the individual wires. The result is a product that is easily fabricated and extremely well-suited for applications on complex and irregular surfaces.
