Aluminized Silica tapes reflects up to 95% of heat, with no organic flame contribution and provides a tough, impermeable, heat reflective coating that allows the silica fabric to be used in a variety of demanding applications.
Aluminized Silica tapes 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 tape-wrapped hose, cable or pipe. and also provides energy savings and personnel protection. Although the aluminum layer is considered to be sacrificial at temperatures above 600°C the aluminum will withstand continuous operating temperatures in the 315°C range with no significant degradation. However, long term exposure at temperatures above 315°c will ultimately degrade the adhesive used to laminate the aluminum to the cloth substrate.
Available Sizes :- 25mm, 50mm, 75mm & 100 mm wide in rolls of 20 meters.
