About Ceramic Fiber Ladder Tape Fiberglass Reinforced
Ceramic Fiber Ladder Tape, Fiberglass Reinforced
Ladder tape is made of wrap yarns missing in the center of tape, with just the weft yarns holding the remaining outside sections, give the tape looks like "ladder" and easy pass-thru over studs.
Produced from an extremely pure alumina-silicate ceramic fiber. An alternative to asbestos based textiles
Used at 2300 degree F/1260 degree C continuously, molts above 3000 degree F/1650 degree C. Available with a PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) to facilitate easy installation
Common application of ladder tapes are used as gasket seal material on access doors for ovens, furnaces and kilns, where a gasket/seal is desired on both sides of the securing fasteners such as a bolt line. Ladder tape is also used on commercial kitchen exhaust duct flange joints as a sealing tape.

Superior Temperature ResistanceThis ceramic fiber ladder tape is engineered for demanding environments. It withstands continuous temperatures up to 2300F (1260C) and only begins to melt at temperatures exceeding 3000F (1650C). Its durability and resilience make it a go-to solution for industrial and commercial thermal sealing.
Easy and Flexible InstallationAvailable with an optional pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), the ladder tape streamlines installation on bolt lines and flange joints, minimizing downtime. Its flexibility allows it to conform easily to irregular surfaces, ensuring optimal sealing even on complex equipment.
Safe Asbestos AlternativeManufactured from pure alumina-silicate ceramic fiber, the tape provides outstanding performance while ensuring user safety. It stands as a reliable substitute for traditional asbestos-based sealing textiles, eliminating the associated health risks and regulatory concerns.
FAQ's of Ceramic Fiber Ladder Tape Fiberglass Reinforced:
Q: How is Ceramic Fiber Ladder Tape installed, and what makes the PSA option beneficial?
A: Installation is straightforward, especially with the available pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) option. Simply peel and stick the tape onto the desired surface, which allows for precise placement and reduces the need for mechanical fasteners or additional adhesives.
Q: What applications are best suited for this ceramic fiber tape?
A: The tape excels as a sealing and gasket material on access doors of ovens, furnaces, kilns, and on commercial kitchen exhaust duct flange joints-basically anywhere a reliable high-temperature seal is needed around securing fasteners like bolts.
Q: When should I consider using this tape over other sealing materials?
A: Choose this ceramic fiber ladder tape when facing continuous high temperatures up to 2300F (1260C) or where traditional asbestos-based materials are not desirable due to health risks. It's engineered for high-heat, demanding environments.
Q: Where can the ladder tape be applied in industrial equipment?
A: It can be applied on access doors, flange joints, and bolt lines of high-temperature units such as industrial ovens, furnaces, kilns, and commercial kitchen exhaust systems for secure, consistent sealing.
Q: What is the benefit of the fiberglass reinforcement in the tape?
A: The fiberglass reinforcement enhances the mechanical strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance of the tape, making it more durable during installation and operation, even under stress or expansion-contraction cycles.
Q: What sizes and thickness options are available for the tape?
A: The ladder tape is available in widths ranging from 25mm to 200mm and thicknesses of 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, and 6mm, supplied in 30-meter rolls for added convenience and customization to your application requirements.
Q: How does this product compare to asbestos-based alternatives?
A: Unlike asbestos textiles, this ceramic fiber tape provides high performance without associated health hazards. Its pure alumina-silicate construction meets or exceeds thermal and mechanical needs while ensuring workplace safety.
