Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Beta cloth is a type of fireproof silica fiber cloth used in the manufacture of Apollo/Skylab A7L space suits and in other specialized applications. Beta cloth consists of fine woven silica fiber, similar to fiberglass. The resulting fabric will not burn, and will melt only at temperatures exceeding 650 C. To reduce its tendency to crease or tear when manipulated, and to increase durability, the fibers may be coated with Teflon. Beta cloth was developed by a Manned Spacecraft Center team led by Frederick S. Dawn and including Matthew I. Radofsky working with the Dow-Corning Company.
