About Texturized Fiberglass Woven Tape
Texturized Fiberglass Woven Tape
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 in plain and drop wrap (ladder tape or bolt hole tape)
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.
Available with specialty coatings such as Aluminium foil, Adhesive back, Dyeing, Graphite, Heat treatment, Silicone rubber, Vermiculite, etc.
Applications:
Thermal insulation and heat protection pipes, flexible tubes, electrical cables, sealing joints of ovens and boiler doors, stoves, fireplaces and expansion joints.
Enhanced Thermal Insulation PropertiesThe texturized fiberglass woven tape efficiently traps air due to its texturized yarn construction, delivering notable thermal insulation. This attribute makes it invaluable for heat sensitive environments, minimizing energy loss across pipes, cables, and industrial machinery. Available coatings further optimize performance for specific operational demands.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesDesigned for versatility, this tape is widely utilized for protecting and sealing pipes, tubes, cables, and expansion joints, as well as for insulating oven doors, stoves, and fireplaces. Its endurance at high temperatures means it provides long-term reliability in a range of demanding industrial settings.
Customizable Surface TreatmentsTo suit different thermal or environmental requirements, the tape can be finished with coatings such as aluminium foil, adhesive backings, silicone rubber, graphite, or vermiculite. These enhancements cater to various installation needs, optimizing chemical resistance, mechanical strength, or thermal performance as required.
FAQ's of Texturized Fiberglass Woven Tape:
Q: How is texturized fiberglass woven tape produced?
A: The tape is made using bulk texturized fiberglass yarns, which are woven together. This process creates a fuller, more insulating material by trapping greater amounts of air within the fibers, elevating its heat resistance capabilities.
Q: What benefits does texturized fiberglass woven tape offer?
A: This tape provides excellent thermal insulation, superior fullness, and durability. Its range of available thicknesses, widths, and surface treatments means it can be tailored to suit various industrial heat protection and sealing applications.
Q: Where can texturized fiberglass woven tape be used?
A: It is suitable for use in thermal protection and insulation of pipes, electrical cables, oven and boiler door seals, stoves, fireplaces, and expansion joints-primarily in manufacturing, construction, and maintenance industries.
Q: When should I consider using a surface-treated variant?
A: Surface treatments like aluminium foil, silicone rubber, or vermiculite are recommended when enhanced chemical resistance, heat reflection, or mechanical strength is needed for specific operating conditions.
Q: What is the recommended temperature usage for this product?
A: Texturized fiberglass woven tape is designed to perform continuously at temperatures up to 1000F (537C), making it ideal for high-temperature sealing and insulation tasks.
Q: How do I select the appropriate size and coating for my application?
A: Choose tape thickness, width, and surface treatment based on your specific insulation or sealing requirements, temperature exposure, and installation environment. Consulting with the distributor or manufacturer can ensure optimal material selection.
