So I'm looking for a material that is capable of withstanding 450F steam, but flexible and light enough to make a jacket out of.

/sci/ got any ideas?

>450F

What the fuck? A steam is not measure in Farad, that's capacitance. Learn your SCIENCE.

Make the jacket out of a heavy cotton, and plate it with smooth glass scales

Carbon fiber anyone?

>>450F steam
at what pressure? Can't plug into the steam tables without pressure.

What's this for anyway? Hacking around some old steam machinery?

No and no, neither of those are practical. The actual operating parameters are more like 125psi/350F, but I want a safety margin.

And what is pictured is fine for non-flexible parts of the body, as silly as it looks. I just need something that flexes better than aluminized mylar.

Perhaps aluminized Rayon?
