Key Features
The insulation media for blankets, covers, or jackets is typically a pliable, heat-resistant material such as asbestos, fiberglass, or ceramic fibers. While these materials offer high temperature resistance, they lack the physical qualities to:
- Retain physical shape and strength under stress
- Provide protection from exterior abrasion
- Support attachment devices like lacing hooks
