3M™ Nextel™ Fabric AF-8

3M™ Nextel™ Fabric AF-8 is woven from Nextel 312 high temperature continuous ceramic oxide fiber that is designed to maintain strength and flexibility under a variety of high temperature conditions.

These fabrics outperform the useful limits of other high temperature textiles such as aramids, carbon, quartz or glass. 3M™ Nextel™ woven fabrics are true ceramics. They are oxidation resistant, chemically inert, lightweight, electrically insulating, flexible, and fire, flame and heat resistant to temperatures of 2200°F (1204°C).

• Flexible fabric woven from 3M™ Nextel™ 312 High Temperature Continuous Ceramic Oxide Fiber
• Good mechanical properties at high temperatures
• Fabric is thermally and chemically stable
• Thermal shock resistant
• Open leno weave fabric
• Non-hygroscopic for low moisture absorption
• Electrically insulating and low thermal conductivity
