About Graphite Coated Fiberglass Tape
Graphite Coated Fiberglass Tape
Constructed from a high temperature base fiberglass tape with graphite coating and heat treatment to clean the sizing and organic content.
Property:
Ideal tape used to wrap manifold ,header, turbo and exhaust
Used in places where no smokes allowed
Highly flexible and minimal shrinkage
Used at 750 degree C continuous, short time in 1000 degree C
Manifold and header wrapping is widely accepted as standard practice for performance auto and racing applications. There are two reasons for this.
First, by adding an insulation layer around the exhaust gas piping, it keeps the temperature of the gas from dropping, which means the density of the gas is kept lower longer, and lower density means easier flow through the exhaust system. Easier flow means more horse power due to reduced back pressure. Retaining heat in the exhaust flow, resulting in faster exhaust gas flow, also results in higher turbo charger spool speeds, resulting in a gain of horse power.
Second, wrapping exhaust system components also reduces the temperature of other under-hood components and systems, reducing both radiated heat and convective heating of electrical components, intake air, fuel and hydraulic hoses. Reducing under-hood temperature also helps reduce hood paint thermal damage.

WFT115G is the ideal thickness and most popular choice for Turbo& Exhaust wrap.
Fiberglass products are resistant to oils, solvents and most chemicals although contact with hydrofluoric acids, strong alkalis and live steam should be avoided.
Stainless Steel Free End Self Locking Clamps: Used to secure tape in place. Makes a neat low profile installation. (Standard hand tools can be used to tighten and cut the remaining free end)
Size: 4.6mm W x 360mm L
High Temperature EnduranceThis tape is formulated to withstand continuous exposure to 750C and can briefly resist temperatures as high as 1000C. The graphite coating provides further protection, making it perfect for environments with intense heat such as automotive exhaust systems and industrial piping.
Versatile ApplicationIdeal for wrapping headers, manifolds, turbo and exhaust pipes, it serves both automotive and industrial settings. Its adaptability is enhanced by a range of sizes to fit various pipe diameters and installation requirements, ensuring a secure and effective thermal barrier.
Advanced Construction & TreatmentConstructed from heat-cleaned, texturized fiberglass, the tape receives a graphite surface treatment, which not only improves heat resistance but also helps suppress dust and increases product longevity. This rigorous process results in a product suitable for prolonged and repeated use.
FAQ's of Graphite Coated Fiberglass Tape:
Q: How is Graphite Coated Fiberglass Tape applied in high-temperature environments?
A: The tape is easily wrapped around hot surfaces such as automotive exhaust manifolds or pipes, providing a thermal insulation barrier. Secure it in place by overlapping the tape and using high-temperature ties or clamps for additional stability.
Q: What makes this tape suitable for use at temperatures up to 1000C?
A: The use of texturized fiberglass base material, combined with a specialized graphite coating, enables the tape to resist continuous temperatures of 750C and short-term exposures up to 1000C without degradation or loss of flexibility.
Q: When should this tape be used instead of standard fiberglass alternatives?
A: Graphite Coated Fiberglass Tape should be selected when higher thermal resistance and reduced dust generation are required, especially in environments where black coloring and minimal organic residue are advantageous, such as performance automotive or industrial applications.
Q: Where can this product provide the most benefit?
A: It is most beneficial in settings like automotive exhaust systems, industrial manifolds, and high-temperature sealing or insulation, particularly where efficient heat management and protection of adjacent components are critical.
Q: What is the process for manufacturing this tape?
A: The tape is constructed from high-temperature base fiberglass, which is heat treated to remove sizing and organic content. It is then coated with graphite for improved thermal and mechanical properties, resulting in its distinctive black color.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Graphite Coated Fiberglass Tape?
A: Benefits include excellent thermal insulation, suppression of dust, resistance to heat and flame, adaptability to various sizes, extended product life, and improved appearance due to its black graphite coating.
