Product Description

Vermiculite Coated Fiberglass Tape 

Automotive Manifold Header Turbo  Exhaust Pipe Tape  Wrap

Constructed from a high temperature base fiberglass tape with vermiculite coating and heat treatment to clean the sizing and organic content

Property

Ideal tape used to wrap manifold header turbo and exhaust

Used in places where no smokes allowed

Highly flexible and minimal shrinkage

Used at 750 degree C continuous short time in 1000 degree C

Manifold and header wrapping is widely accepted as standard practice for performance auto and racing applications There are two reasons for this 

First by adding an insulation layer around the exhaust gas piping it keeps the temperature of the gas from dropping which means the density of the gas is kept lower longer and lower density means easier flow through the exhaust system Easier flow means more horse power due to reduced back pressure Retaining heat in the exhaust flow resulting in faster exhaust gas flow also results in higher turbo charger spool speeds resulting in a gain of horse power 

Second wrapping exhaust system components also reduces the temperature of other underhood components and systems reducing both radiated heat and convective heating of electrical components intake air fuel and hydraulic hoses Reducing underhood temperature also helps reduce hood paint thermal damage

Specification

Fiberglass products are resistant to oils, solvents and most chemicals although contact with hydrofluoric acids, strong alkalis and live steam should be avoided.
Stainless Steel Free End Self Locking Clamps: Used to secure tape in place. Makes a neat low profile installation.  (Standard hand tools can be used to tighten and cut the remaining free end)
Size: 4.6mm W x 360mm L
