Outstanding High-Temperature PerformanceWith continuous temperature resistance up to 1000C and short-term tolerance up to 1200C, Silica Slit Tape is ideal for demanding environments needing reliable insulation and protection. Its low thermal conductivity ensures effective thermal barriers for furnaces and industrial equipment.
Superior Adhesion and Material QualityThe pressure-sensitive adhesive-either acrylic or silicone-offers high-temperature resilience and strong adhesion to steel (900 g/in), supporting secure installations. Manufactured from high purity silica fibers, the tape delivers robust tensile strength and negligible water absorption for lasting performance.
Customizable for Diverse ApplicationsAvailable in customizable dimensions and standard roll lengths (10 m to 50 m), the tape adapts to varied application requirements, including cable wrapping, gasket fabrication, and sealing in electrical or thermal insulation settings. Its white to off-white surface and slit widths from 10 mm to 100 mm expand usability.
FAQ's of Silica Slit Tape With Adhesive Back:
Q: How is Silica Slit Tape with Adhesive Back applied in high-temperature environments?
A: The tape is easily applied by peeling off the release liner and adhering it to clean, dry surfaces such as steel, ceramics, or insulation panels. Its adhesive is engineered for high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for continuous use up to 1000C.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this tape for insulation and sealing?
A: Silica Slit Tape provides superior flame resistance, exceptional chemical durability, and minimal water absorption. Its robust tensile strength and reliable adhesive make it ideal for insulation, electrical protection, and gasket sealing in demanding industrial settings.
Q: When should this tape not be used?
A: Avoid using the tape in environments where it may come into contact with hydrofluoric acid, as silica fibers are not resistant to this chemical. Also, ensure temperatures do not exceed 1200C for short periods, to prevent adhesive degradation.
Q: Can the tape dimensions be customized for specific requirements?
A: Yes, dimensions including width (10 mm to 100 mm), thickness (0.10 mm to 3.0 mm), and roll length (10 m to 50 m) can be tailored to meet specific project needs. Custom slit widths and lengths are available upon request.
Q: What are the recommended storage conditions and shelf life for Silica Slit Tape?
A: Store the tape in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive integrity and silica fiber durability. Under recommended storage, the tape retains optimal performance for up to 12 months.
Q: What process is used in manufacturing Silica Slit Tape?
A: The tape is slit from woven high-purity amorphous silica fabric and coated on one side with either acrylic or silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. This process guarantees consistent quality and reliable adhesion.
Q: Where is Silica Slit Tape commonly used?
A: It is widely used in furnace linings, piping insulation, cable wrapping, and as gaskets or seals in high-temperature, chemically harsh industrial environments. The tape's versatility makes it valuable for manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, exporters, and traders in China and beyond.
