About Fiberglass Knitted Tape
Fiberglass Knitted Tape
Knitted tapes are more flexible and conformable than the equivalent size in a woven version. Produced of bulk texturized fiberglass yarns, traps greater amounts of air and demonstrates better insulation properties and greater fullness
Property:
An alternative to asbestos based textiles
Available with graphite treatment
Available with a PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) to facilitate easy installation
Used at 1000 degree F/ 537 degree C continuous, If exposed to high temperature 600 degree F (315 degree C) to 1000 degree F (537 degree C) for an extended period of time the fabric may become stiff and brittle.
Applications:
Thermal insulation and heat protection pipes, flexible tubes, electrical cables, sealing joints of ovens and boiler doors, stoves, fireplaces and expansion joints.
Reliable High-Temperature InsulationOur fiberglass knitted tape is engineered to withstand continuous exposure to temperatures as high as 1000F (537C), making it suitable for demanding thermal insulation needs. The textured yarn enhances flexibility for wrapping and covering irregular surfaces, ensuring a snug and protective fit around pipes, cables, and expansion joints.
Versatile Applications in Industrial and Residential SettingsThis tape is widely applied for heat protection across industries, including thermal insulation for flexible tubes, electrical cable shielding, and sealing of ovens, stoves, and fireplace joints. Its adaptability supports both new installations and maintenance work, offering seamless integration into various thermal management systems.
FAQ's of Fiberglass Knitted Tape:
Q: How is fiberglass knitted tape installed for thermal insulation?
A: Fiberglass knitted tape can be wrapped or wound around pipes, cables, or joints and secured in place. Its flexibility allows it to conform closely to irregular surfaces, creating an effective seal for heat protection.
Q: What benefits does texturized fiberglass yarn provide compared to standard tapes?
A: Texturized fiberglass yarn gives the tape enhanced thickness and flexibility, improving both its insulating properties and its ease of application, especially on complex surfaces or tight spaces.
Q: When should I use this tape for sealing purposes?
A: This tape is ideal for sealing joints of ovens, boiler doors, stoves, fireplaces, and expansion joints whenever high-temperature resistance and excellent sealing are required to prevent heat loss or leaks.
Q: Where can fiberglass knitted tape be effectively used?
A: The tape is suitable for use in industrial settings for pipe and cable insulation, as well as in residential environments for sealing and protecting heat-related appliances and joints.
Q: What is the process for manufacturing fiberglass knitted tape?
A: Fiberglass knitted tape is made by knitting texturized fiberglass yarn into a strong yet flexible tape using specialized knitting machinery, which allows for consistent thickness and width.
Q: What lengths and widths are available for this product?
A: It is offered in widths of 15 to 50 millimeters and standard roll lengths of 30 and 50 meters, with a consistent thickness of 3mm to fit various thermal insulation applications.
Q: How does using fiberglass knitted tape benefit heat protection systems?
A: Applying this tape helps maintain energy efficiency, prevents heat-related damage to cables and pipes, and extends the lifespan of equipment by providing reliable and durable insulation in high-temperature environments.
