About Silica Woven Tape

Silica Woven Tapes have selvaged edges to prevent raveling. Silica Woven Tapes are intended for high temperature applications with continuous service up to 1100 degree C.

Silica Woven Tapes are woven edge texturized yarn silica tapes for protection of equipment from fire, extreme heat, welding splatter and molten metal. They are represent different tape thicknesses, and all have the added benefit of woven edges to prevent unraveling.

Silica Woven Tape is used in high temperature applications such as insulation or thermal protection over: electrical cable, pipe, water jacketed tubing, cords, and hoses. Woven Tapes are also used as mop stylefurnace curtains, furnace door gasketing, high temperature seals, and as a replacement for refractory ceramic fiber tape. Silica Woven Tapes are used extensively in the Power Generation, Shipbuilding, Construction, Welding and Metal Processing industries.

FAQ's of Silica Woven Tape:

Q: How is Silica Woven Tape typically installed for thermal insulation?

A: Silica Woven Tape is easily installed by wrapping it around pipes, cables, exhaust systems, or other surfaces requiring heat protection. Thanks to its flexibility and high tensile strength, the tape conforms to bends and corners, and its woven edge helps prevent fraying during application.

Q: What applications are most suitable for Silica Woven Tape?

A: This tape is ideal for thermal insulation, electrical insulation, and high temperature protection. Common uses include wrapping furnace pipes, cables, exhausts, and as a sealing and heat shielding material in industrial, electrical, and mechanical environments.

Q: When should I choose Silica Woven Tape with a plain weave and no coating?

A: Opt for plain weave, uncoated Silica Woven Tape when high temperature resistance, flexibility, and chemical stability are key requirements. The uncoated version suits most insulation and protection tasks, or you may select optional graphite or PTFE coatings for specialized needs.

Q: Where should Silica Woven Tape be stored for optimal longevity?

A: Store the tape in a dry environment to maintain its structural integrity and performance characteristics. Proper storage prevents moisture pickup, preserving its flame resistance and overall quality during long-term storage.

Q: What benefits does Silica Woven Tape offer over alternative insulation materials?

A: Silica Woven Tape provides excellent flame resistance, minimal chemical leaching, superior flexibility, and high purity composition. It outperforms many conventional insulators at very high temperatures and delivers reliable electrical and chemical insulation.

Q: Is Silica Woven Tape safe for use in sensitive environments?

A: Yes, the tape is classified as non-hazardous, contains minimal leachable chlorides or sulfates, and resists most acids and alkalis, making it safe for use in diverse and sensitive settings.

Q: How can I specify the size and packing method for my requirement?

A: You can order Silica Woven Tape in customized lengths, with typical roll widths from 25mm to 100mm and thickness from 1.5mm to 3mm. The tape is supplied in flat rolls, ensuring convenient storage and usage for your project needs.
