Deeprotect™ Material specializes in the production of fireproof cloth series products using fire-resistant fiberglass fabric as the base material. Each production step involves precision equipment and process controls to ensure product quality.
The warping process prepares glass fiber yarns for weaving by aligning and treating them under controlled conditions:
Glass fiber yarn is processed using a Karl Mayer DS 21/30NC sectional warping machine at low speed (<200 m/min), with ionized air guns (humidity 40–60%, surface resistance ≤10⁹ Ω) to eliminate static electricity and ensure uniform yarn tension (5–20 cN, fluctuation ≤±2%).
Epoxy-based sizing agents (solid content 8–12%, temperature ≤60°C) are applied via a Benninger Sucker-Muller sizing machine, followed by curing with a Tsudakoma LHS-500 low-temperature dryer (80–120°C) to enhance yarn abrasion resistance while retaining ≥90% strength.
- Tension Uniformity: Online sensors monitor real-time tension deviation (≤±2%).
- Sizing Coverage: Microscopic inspection targets ≥95% film coverage.
- Beam Hardness: Shore hardness 60–80 tested post-winding.

The weaving process interlaces warp and weft yarns into fabric with precision-controlled parameters:
- Rapier Loom (e.g., Picanol OMNIplus-X): Equipped with electronic let-off (EBC) and take-up systems to control tension fluctuation ≤±2%. Optimized for plain/twill weaves (weft density: 60–80 picks/inch) and fabrics weighing 300–800 g/m² at 400–600 rpm.
- Dobby Loom (e.g., Stäubli CX-860): Uses 16–24 lightweight heald frames for complex structures (e.g., 2/2 twill) in multi-layer fireproof composites.
- Special Applications: Shuttle looms with ceramic guides produce lightweight fabrics (<200 g/m²) at 30% lower efficiency than rapier looms.
- Warp Tension: 50–200 cN (adjusted by yarn tex).
- Shed Height: 10–30 mm to minimize fiber friction.
- Weft Insertion: 300–600 m/min (rapier), 1000–1500 m/min (air-jet).
- Real-time Monitoring: CCD cameras detect defects (hole, mispick) with ≤0.1% defect rate.
- Final Inspection: Fabric weight tolerance ±3% (ISO 3374), tensile strength tested per ASTM D5035.
