Fiberglass tape

Fiberglass tape

Fiberglass refractory tape, called silk or tarpaulin tape, is a narrow strip with woven edges. This contributes to the strength and stability of the tape structure during long-term use. With a heat resistance of about 550 ° C, this tape has many fans in various fields of industry and is a well-known alternative to asbestos refractory tape.

Sanat Pars Refractory Store is ready to provide advice, sell and send fiberglass refractory tape, with various dimensions and thicknesses, all over the country.

In total, fireproof tapes are woven with a small width, about 20 cm, in one of three methods: warp and weft, satin and diagonal, based on the amount of strength and mechanical strength required for specific functions. The width of these strips is in fact the difference between this product and fireproof fabric. In this article, we intend to examine fiberglass tape, as one of the most popular members of the family of refractory tapes, which with its high thermal resistance and unique strength, has established its position as a non-toxic alternative to asbestos refractory tapes.

The reason for the widespread use of fiberglass fibers in industry, goes back to the properties and benefits of this refractory material. The twentieth century can be called the peak years of the use of asbestos in most areas. But in the last years of the twentieth century, the increasing number of reports of lung disease in people exposed to asbestos prompted experts to conduct extensive studies in this area. The results of this research led to the prohibition of the use of asbestos and its restriction to places out of reach of humans and nature. It was in this context that the benefits of using fiberglass became known after a long time. This environmentally friendly and cost-effective product, with high fiber cohesion, has a similar resistance to asbestos against heat and is one of the most suitable alternatives.

Fiberglass fibers fall into six categories based on their properties and applications:

E-Glass: Can be used for car exhaust insulation and general applications.

R Glass: A suitable choice for the construction of building composites, due to the optimal mechanical properties.

S glass: Optimal option for the manufacture of engineering composites, due to the superior mechanical properties of igles and argels fibers.

C Glass: Ideal for laboratory environments, due to good chemical resistance.

ISCR Glass: Used in detergent factories, due to its dazzling resistance to acidic substances.

IR Glass: Suitable for use in drug production, due to its unique resistance to acidic and alkaline substances.

Fiberglass refractory tape is made of C-glass or Eagles fibers and its edge is locked with polyester thread to prevent it from opening. Because fiberglass tape is sometimes combined with other refractories to increase thermal tolerance or to enhance mechanical and chemical properties, its heat resistance range is estimated to be between 450 and 600 ° C. This degree of heat tolerance makes fiberglass fireproof tape suitable for sewing fireproof clothing and equipment, such as firefighting clothing and gloves.

The type of texture of fiberglass or silk refractory tape will be warp or satin depending on the desired strength and flexibility. To increase the mechanical strength of this tape, during weaving, the fiberglass fibers are reinforced with silicate. Fiberglass strips are produced with a thickness of 1 to 3 mm and a width of 3 to 10 cm.

To choose the type of fiberglass tape, the needs of the user and the conditions of the environment used must be considered. Fiberglass refractory tape is available in three products:

Plain fiberglass tape: This type of fiberglass has different applications in different fields and is able to withstand high temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius.
Adhesive fiberglass tape: Sometimes it is necessary to dip one side of the tape with glue according to the consumer's needs. In this case, it should be noted that each layer of fiberglass tape will have a different thermal resistance. The non-adhesive side will still be able to withstand heat up to 600 ° C, but the adhesive side will withstand up to 300 ° C.
Foil glass tape: Sometimes, in order to increase the mechanical properties and strength of the fiberglass tape, it is covered with a layer of aluminum foil. This also allows the heat tolerance of the tape to reach 700 ° C.
It is recommended to read the articles of fiberglass tape, adhesive fiberglass fireproof tape and fiberglass fireproof tape from Pars Refractory website.

In the following, it is better to take a brief look at the unique features of fiberglass refractory tape:

Optimal flexibility
High melting point (850 ° C)
Heat tolerance between 450 and 600 ° C; This amount depends on the type of fiberglass fibers used in the production of the tape, and the presence of glue or aluminum foil in its production. However, experts consider the temperature of 550 degrees Celsius as a safe temperature for long-term use of this product.
Dimensional stability and maintenance of structure at sub-zero temperatures
Resistant to most corrosive acids and alkalis
Resistant to ultraviolet and infrared rays
Numerous features and benefits of using fiberglass refractory tape have brought it many applications in various fields of industry, the most important of which are:

Making a fireproof conveyor
Insulation of parts at temperatureTop
Production of washers
Insulation of shafts
Sealing cables, hoses, etc. at high temperatures
Providing fireproof clothing and equipment; Like firefighting clothes and gloves
Insulation of industrial tanks and fuel tanks
Sealing of thermal packages in power plants
Insulation of equipment in the petrochemical industry
Thermal insulation of car exhaust
Insulation of construction facilities and electrical machinery
