THERMALTAPES
GLASS FIBRE The following items are manufactured from glass fibres of nominal diameter 6 - 9 microns which can withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 550 o C. It also resists most acids and alkalis and is not affected by bleaches or solvents. BRAIDED TAPES Tapes are available in white and black colour. Examples of Application: Insulation of pipes, exhaust pipes, covering cables and electrical insulation. BRAIDED TAPES WITH SELF ADHESIVE BACKING Tapes with self adhesive backing are available in white and black colour. The self adhesive backing is resistant to 80 o C and is an aid to positioning the tape during application. For adhering at higher temperatures Vitcas Rope Adhesive should be used. Examples of Application: Furnaces, boilers, on stove glass, pipe coating and metalwork. TADPOLE TAPE Tadpole tape sometimes called ‘P-Section’ is a rope core wrapped in a sewn edged glass fibre cloth which also forms the tail. Examples of Application: Gasket or seal on oven doors, stove doors and gate valves. ELECTRICAL GLASS TAPE Electrical Insulation Glass Tape is resistant to 550 o C and is widely used in electrical equipment for finishing tapes. The tape is also used as thermal insulation in low voltage machines and as fire protection on power cables. It also has a high chemical resistance and tensile strength. CARAMELISED HEAT TREATED TAPE Carmelised Heat Treated Tape is a pre-use heat treated tape for wrapping around exhausts to reduce condensation and also for wrapping around cables as an insulation. Pre-use heat treatment reduces the chance of any smoke or fume on the first use. It is made from 'E' type fibreglass. SILICONE COATED TAPE Siicone coated Tape can operate at temperatures reaching 250 o C and is resistant to acids, alkalis and oils. Examples of application: for molten metal splash protection and for taping in high pressure settings in industrial furnaces and metallurgy.
