Robotics are widely used in industrial environments with harsh operating conditions, such as steel mills, aluminum smelters, foundries, refineries, and petrochemical plants. However, without proper protection from the hazards of these conditions, tens of thousands of dollars that have been invested in robotic equipment can be lost in an instant. To remain effective, robotics must weather extreme conditions without corroding or degrading, and be resistant to dust, chemicals, moisture, and temperature extremes. Robot covers, robot protective covers and robot protective systems have been used to prevent component failure, allow robots to operate in a larger range of conditions, and extend the operational life of the robots. However many of the fabrics traditionally used have a high level of flexural failure, and low resistance to heat and abrasion.

At Mid-Mountain Materials, Inc., we’ve positioned ourselves to weather these disruptions by embracing a business strategy centered on vertical integration. As a fully integrated company, we control every stage of the production process, from textile weaving to proprietary coatings and product fabrication. This structure offers not only greater control and cost savings, but also enables us to deliver a consistently high quality product to our customers—on time and at scale.

Our vertical integration gives us a competitive edge in both normal and disrupted market conditions. Here’s how:

• End-to-End Quality Control: From base fabrics to custom coatings and final assemblies, we monitor and test every element. This results in high quality, reliable products, even for mission-critical applications like thermal protection system (TPS) components and aircraft firewall insulation.
• Faster Lead Times: We avoid delays common to fragmented supply chains by owning our stages of production—from raw material preparation to final product delivery.
• Cost Savings and Reduced Costs: Internal production cuts out middlemen, reduces markups, and brings down unit costs over the long term, enabling us to offer cost-efficient solutions without compromising on quality.
• Product Customization: Because we manage each stage of production, we can create custom configurations of thermal insulation materials with specific temperature ranges, shapes, or certifications.
• Innovation Flexibility: Our R&D and fabrication teams work side by side, accelerating the development of novel materials and advanced solutions—like our flue insulation wrap jacket or engine blanket firewall systems.

Custom made for your application.

Mid-Mountain manufactures silicone-coated fabrics and textiles comprised of varying substrates coated with silicone rubber compounds. ARMATEX® Silicone Coated Fabrics and Textiles are engineered for use in environments that require high heat or flame resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and UV or weather resistance.

Available in a wide variety of colors, our silicone-coated fabrics are developed to increase abrasion and chemical resistance to the substrate. Typical uses include removable pad insulation, protection from weld spatter and slag, gaskets, and thermal insulation barriers.
