Asbestos refractory tape

Asbestos refractory tape

Asbestos refractory tape is the same as asbestos refractory fabric, with the difference that asbestos refractory tape has a width of less than 20 cm. This tape is also known as home engine tape.

This product is made of strong asbestos fibers that are used to insulate parts and produce gaskets.

Ribbons have special similarities and differences with fabrics, which we will examine below to make the right choice:

Differences: width less than 20 cm, density, thickness and material

Similarities: Good performance in alkaline and acidic environments, resistance to chemical corrosion and rust, extreme heat tolerance, acceptable mechanical strength

The main material of this tape is asbestos fibers. These fibers have advantages such as mechanical strength, extreme heat tolerance, very high strength, special impermeability and high chemical strength.

Examining the advantages of asbestos tape, we came to the conclusion that this tape is used in heat furnaces, motor homes and industrial boilers and has a heat tolerance of up to 550 degrees Celsius.

In some cases, asbestos, graphite, Teflon oil and other refractory materials are added to the surface.

Asbestos refractory tape is available in three types: dusted, dust-free and foiled.

Foil asbestos tape made of aluminum foil to increase strength and has a heat resistance of up to 600 degrees Celsius.

Dusty asbestos tape has a heat tolerance of 550 degrees Celsius and can be used in motorhomes and pipelines.

Dust-free asbestos tape made from a layer of Teflon on the tape, heat tolerance up to 350 degrees Celsius and used in factories and power plants.

Sometimes in the composition of asbestos refractory tape can be added to it stainless steel wire and steel, this will improve the strength of this product.

Some of the advantages of asbestos tape include:

Acceptable mechanical strength, abrasion and tensile strength
Low thermal conductivity
Very high density and cohesion
Impermeable to water and oil
Extraordinary strength
Good performance in alkaline and acidic environments
The most important application of asbestos refractory tape according to its advantages is as follows:

Manufacture of flanges and washers
Insulation of parts in the field of petrochemicals and power plants
Sealing of parts in fuel stations and oil rigs
Sealing the walls in the cement factory
Sealing of thermal furnaces and industrial tanks
Production of insulated pipelines
