About Vermiculite Coated Ceramic Fiber Tape
Vermiculite Coated Ceramic Fiber Tape
This tape has a very high vermiculite content (10 to 12%).Allows for collecting molten metal slag
An alternative to asbestos based textiles. Provides low thermal conductivity and good dielectric strength and features excellent corrosion resistance
Used at 2300 degree F/1260 degree C continuously, molts above 3000 degree F/1650 degree C
It will not burn, rot, mildew or deteriorate and resist most acids. It has low coefficient of thermal expansion. Common applications for this tape include thermal insulation and/or protection of wires, cables, hoses, pipe and tube, as well as affording energy savings and personnel protection.

Exceptional Heat Resistance and DurabilityThis tape is specifically tailored to meet extreme thermal demands, handling continuous exposure to temperatures as high as 2300F (1260C) and melting only above 3000F (1650C). The stainless steel wire reinforcement ensures the tape maintains integrity in harsh environments, making it ideal for industrial applications including energy savings and safety enhancement.
Versatile Applications in Multiple IndustriesVermiculite Coated Ceramic Fiber Tape is designed for thermal insulation and protection of wires, cables, hoses, pipes, and tubes. Its wide range of thicknesses, widths, and excellent resistance to thermal shocks allow for use in manufacturing, power plants, refineries, and other high-temperature or hazardous settings.
Asbestos-Free, Environmentally Safer SolutionActing as a modern alternative to asbestos-based textiles, this vermiculite coated tape offers similar performance without the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. The high vermiculite content (10-12%) contributes to increased safety, making it a preferred choice for industries seeking sustainable and health-conscious materials.
FAQ's of Vermiculite Coated Ceramic Fiber Tape:
Q: How is the Vermiculite Coated Ceramic Fiber Tape typically used?
A: This tape is used for thermal insulation and the protection of wires, cables, hoses, pipes, and tubes in high-temperature environments. Its ability to withstand 2300F (1260C) makes it suitable for industrial settings such as power plants and manufacturing units, where energy savings and personnel safety are prioritized.
Q: What makes this tape an effective alternative to asbestos-based products?
A: The tape contains a high percentage (10-12%) of vermiculite, which imparts excellent heat resistance and durability without the health hazards of asbestos. Reinforcement with stainless steel wire also adds mechanical strength, making it a modern replacement for asbestos textiles.
Q: Where can Vermiculite Coated Ceramic Fiber Tape be applied?
A: It is ideal for environments requiring high thermal protection, including insulation for electrical components, piping, and industrial hoses in sectors like steel production, refineries, and energy generation facilities. Its flexibility and range of sizes allow for broad applicability.
Q: What are the available sizes and thicknesses for this tape?
A: The tape is offered in widths from 25mm to 200mm, with thicknesses available at 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, and 6mm. Standard rolls have a length of 30 meters, which supports a variety of installation requirements.
Q: How does the high vermiculite content benefit the tape's performance?
A: With 10-12% vermiculite content, the tape gains enhanced resistance to high temperatures and molten metal splashes. This not only increases its service lifespan but also improves safety for both equipment and personnel in challenging industrial environments.
Q: When should this product be selected over standard ceramic fiber tape?
A: Choose vermiculite coated variants when additional resistance to heat, mechanical abrasion, or molten spatter is needed, as well as when compliance with safety and environmental standards that prohibit asbestos is required.
