Silicone-coated glass fiber fabric offers a material with an extremely high light transmission combined with a high strength.  The static and mechanical properties of the fabric are comparable to those of PTFE, however, the increased flexibility makes it easier to handle during the manufacturing process.
Silicone glass membranes are made of fiberglass impregnated and coated with special transparent silicone emulsion. These membranes are highly translucent: values from 20% to 40%. Furthermore, from silicone are obtained both components of the fabric: the glass fibers and the silicone rubber. The siliceous matrix common to the two products results in a perfect compatibility of the two components allowing the achievement of good performance together with a low environmental impact.
They also have excellent performances in terms of weatherproof, water repellency, chemical resistance to acids and lye and have good mechanical properties. Silicone coated fabrics are very flexible in the temperature range of -50°C to +200°C and filter out the harmful UV-B light but allow the transmission of UV-A light. At high temperatures or in fires the product does not develop poisonous gases or flaming particles. It can be manufactured in several colours by using pigmented silicone elastomers.

These materials allow the creation of facades, roof and building envelopes whose elegance and lightness is unique. The membranes are suitable for both mechanically and pneumatically pre-stressed installations.

With a lifespan of approximately 25 to 30 years the silicone-coated glass fabrics are extremely durable and in addition resistant to most of the environmental agents.

Silicone glass membranes are incombustible and are classified as B2.

The material has a stain-resistant coating and this means that cleaning can be performed with simple, biodegradable detergents.

The collection and recycling of the membrane material at the end of its useful life is now standard practice. The components of connection systems are separated from the membrane and recycled by conventional methods.
