SilcoSoft™ is a nonwoven needled mat made from a new generation of high performance silica-like belCoTex® fibers patented
by belChem Fiber Materials GmbH of Germany.

SilcoSoftT provides excellent acoustical and thermal properties in temperatures up to 2000°F. The distinguishing characteristics of SilcoSoftT which set it apart from other silica products is its cotton-like soft touch and conformability to irregular shapes. SilcosoftT is also non dusting and non irritating and it's 9 micron diameter fiber is non-respirable making handling safe and easy.
