About Silicone Coated Fiberglass Woven Tape
The silicone coated fiberglass tape is coating silicone on one side of fiberglass woven tape.Properties:Withstand repeated exposures to molten steel, molten aluminum and molten glass up to 3000 degree F (1650 degree C).The iron oxide red silicone rubber compound sheds molten metal splash immediately, so very little heat transfer occurs.When exposed to flames, the silicone rubber transforms into a crust, creating a protective SiO2 refractory layer.Excellent modulus of elasticity makes it an ideal choice for bundling hoses, tubes and cables in a variety of hostile environments.Applications:The typical applications include protecting hoses and cables in steel mills, aluminum smelting plants, offshore drilling rigs, foundries and glass manufacturing facilities.Exceptional Insulation PerformanceEngineered using high-quality fiberglass yarn and coated with premium silicone, this woven tape provides outstanding electrical and thermal insulation. Its robust construction ensures reliable protection up to 1.5 kV voltage, making it highly suitable for heat-sensitive and electrically demanding environments.

FAQ's of Silicone Coated Fiberglass Woven Tape:
Q: How is Silicone Coated Fiberglass Woven Tape installed for cable or pipe insulation?
A: To install, simply wrap the tape around the cable or pipe surface, overlapping layers for enhanced protection. Its smooth, non-stick silicone surface allows for easy application and removal, and it adheres well to most surfaces, securing insulation effectively.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this tape in thermal insulation applications?
A: The tape's low thermal conductivity, heat resistance up to +280C, and durable silicone coating reduce heat loss, safeguard components, and maintain efficiency in high-temperature environments. Its flame retardancy also enhances safety.
Q: Where can this tape be applied besides electrical insulation?
A: Beyond electrical insulation, it is excellent for pipe wrapping, cable jacketing, thermal insulation in industrial settings, and protecting surfaces from chemical exposure or mechanical wear due to its output flexibility and resistance properties.
Q: What specification options are available for length, thickness, and width?
A: Sizes are fully customizable according to project requirements, with lengths offered at 10m, 20m, 30m or tailored, thickness ranging from 0.15 mm to 3 mm, and widths between 10 mm and 150 mm.
Q: How does the tape's adherence affect its usage process?
A: Thanks to excellent adhesion strength to most surfaces, the tape remains securely in place during operation. This minimizes maintenance needs and ensures a reliable seal, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Q: What makes this tape durable against water and chemicals?
A: With low water absorption and a chemical-resistant silicone surface, the tape resists degradation from moisture and exposure to harsh environments, sustaining performance over prolonged periods.
Q: When should I choose this tape over conventional insulation solutions?
A: Choose this tape when applications demand superior heat resistance, flame retardancy, flexible sizing, and high tensile strength-particularly in areas exposed to extreme temperatures, electrical loads, or chemical hazards.
