Slit Silica Tape with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Supports continuous operating temperatures of 2300°F (1260°C) with peak temperatures to 3000°F (1650°C), extremely flexible silica tape will resist molten metal splashing, welding splatter, direct flame impact and are resistant to thermal shock. Besides these excellent qualities, the pressure sensitive adhesive backing that facilitates installation & decomposes at high temperatures, leaving a perfectly tapewrapped hose, cable or pipe. and also provides energy savings and personnel protection .
Silica Fiber Tapes are highly used in the iron metallurgy industry, industrial furnaces, electric ovens, boilers, stoves, chimneys, gaskets, sealing joints, industrial insulation, various uses at high temperatures insulation, refractory paddings, gaskets and blankets, protection from flame, splashes of molten metal, excessive heat, compensators.
Variants: Vermiculite Coated & Aluminum Coated Silica Tapes
