Thermal management
Reinforcement for blankets and barriers used to control heat transfer.
Energy & Insulation
Woven glass fabrics for high-temperature insulation, electric motors, generators, and turbine systems.
Glass fabrics for thermal and electrical insulation
JPS woven glass fabrics support insulation in power generation and other high-temperature environments. Fiberglass reinforcement contributes electrical separation, mechanical strength, and thermal performance to tapes, coated mats, and blankets. Materials are selected for the equipment’s operating conditions and for the coating or resin used in the finished industrial insulation system.
Insulation fabric capabilities
Electrical insulation
Glass fabrics for insulation around energized equipment and conductors.
Motor and generator tapes
Low-thickness, high-strength glass reinforcement for mica-backed insulation.
Coating compatibility
Finishes for mica, ceramics, rubber, silicone, and thermoplastics.
Power and insulation applications
Electrical tapes and coated mats
Fiberglass reinforcement supports insulation tapes and silicone-coated mats used with generators, transformers, switchgear, bus bars, and cable systems.
Heat management
Thermal blankets help limit heat loss; barriers and reflectors help shield sensitive components from elevated temperatures.

- Aircraft and rocket engine barriers
- Heat reflectors
Fabric and coating selection
JPS develops finish chemistries for insulation coatings and can tailor bonding to films, foils, and application-specific manufacturing requirements.
Which fabrics go where
Glass backing in electrical insulation
Low-thickness glass fabric reinforces mica-backed tapes used around motor and generator components. Glass also supports insulation around transformers, switches, and cables.
Reinforcement beneath the coating
Woven glass forms the supporting layer in coated mats, thermal blankets, and bonded insulation. The finish must work with the mica, silicone, ceramic, film, or foil system and its operating conditions.
Quartz for demanding thermal designs
Pure silica fabrics provide a reinforcement option for high-temperature insulation and heat-shield designs. JPS can review the fabric and finish against the thermal and processing requirements.
