High Temperature Tapes

Overview: High Temperature Tapes

Final Advanced Materials offers a wide variety of high temperature tapes. These tapes are mainly used for the thermal and/or electrical insulation of cables or piping, or as a component of manufactured thermal protections. 

The composition of the tapes depends on the customer's needs. It can be made from aramid, basalt, silicate, biosoluble or alumina fibres. This large sample guarantees great adaptability to facilitate the installation of the tapes in your structure. Variable width and thickness, some references of tapes can be adhesive on one side or manufactured in bolt hole version, in order to facilitate the setting up. We also offer grip tapes for thermal protection or as a high temperature closure system.

Applications of Tapes

• Thermal or electrical insulation of pipes and exhausts
• Expansion seals
• Conveyor belts
• Manufactured thermal protections

Our Range of Tapes

Aramid Gripping Tapes, up to 235 °C

Aramid fibre gripping tapes are made of aramid loops and self-extinguishing polyamide hooks. They are non-melting and resist to operating temperature up to 140 °C. These tapes can withstand cold as well as most chemicals (excluding acids) and are certified to aeronautical, motor and rail standards. Stainless-steel hooks are also available, increasing the operating temperature resistance to 235 °C.

The aramid fibre gripping tapes provided by Final Advanced Materials are available in widths of 25 and 50 mm.

     Applications

• Military: production of camouflage uniforms and equipment
• Automobile: passenger compartment fixing
• Aeronautics: attachment of thermal insulation

Aramid Tapes, up to 400 °C

Aramid fibre tapes consist of para-aramid fibres, that can withstand an operating temperature of 350 °C and peak temperature up to 400 °C. With excellent properties such as their resistance to tearing, to abrasion and mechanical resistance, aramid tapes feature good stability for a wide variety of chemical products. These tapes are mainly used in the industry in the manufacture of fire resistant materials and in transportation.

Final Advanced Materials provides aramid fibre tapes in widths ranging from 10 to 100 mm and in thickness from 2 to 5 mm.

     Applications

• Fire protection
• Transportation

Zetex^® Tapes, up to 700 °C

The Zetex^® tapes meet all the requirements of fire resistance. They are mainly used for thermal insulation and sealing of industrial furnaces. They also offer great chemical and thermal resistance. Zetex^® fibre tapes can indeed withstand peak temperatures up to 700 °C and operating temperatures up to 540 °C. 

The Zetex^® fibre tapes provided by Final Advanced Materials are available in widths ranging from 25 to 152 mm. Versions with a reinforcing or a coating are also possible.

     Applications

• Thermal insulation
• Insulation of pipes and exhausts
• Expansion joints
• Sealing joints
• Insulation

Z-Rock^® Basalt Tapes, up to 1,095 °C

Newtex's Z-Rock^® basalt fibre belts are mainly used in the automotive industry for the insulation of exhaust systems. Basalt fibres allow an operating temperature of 815 °C and peak temperature of 1,095 °C. Made in the USA, these belts have characteristics comparable to ZetexPlus^® products. They are however more flexible and have a better finish that prevents them from snagging during installation. They are both lighter and more resilient than belts of glass. Being incombustible, these belts have good resistance to UV, chemicals and radiation.

     Applications

• Exhaust systems
• Insulation (pipes)
  

ZetexPlus^® Tapes, up to 1,095 °C

ZetexPlus® fibre tapes can withstand peak temperatures up to 1,095 °C and operating temperatures up to 815 °C. Moreover, these products show great mechanical and chemical resistance. Thanks to their properties, these products are mainly used for thermal insulation and sealing of industrial furnaces.

ZetexPlus® fibre tapes are available in widths ranging from 25 to 152 mm. They are proposed with a coating or a reinforcing.

     Applications

• Thermal insulation
• Insulation of pipes and exhausts
• Expansion seals
• Sealing joints
• Insulation

Silicate Fibre Tapes, up to 1,200 °C

Silicate fibre doesn’t contain toxic substances and poses no health risk when handling with its diameter of 9 μm. Inorganic, it offers better resistance to high temperatures than other materials, such as glass fibre. Its thermal and mechanical properties make it an excellent alternative to ceramic fibre. Silicate fibre tapes are used for the insulation of cables and pipes. They can withstand peak temperatures up to 1,200 °C as well as operating temperatures up to 1,050 °C and thus are used for the assembly of heat protections.

Silicate fibre tapes are available with or without adhesive in widths ranging from 10 to 300 mm.

     Applications

• Insulation of pipes
• Electrical insulation
• Insulation of cables
• Heat protection

Biosoluble Fibre Tapes, up to 1,150 °C

Biosoluble fibre tapes are non-carcinogenic. They are a safe and reliable alternative to asbestos, ceramic fibre and mineral fibre. Moreover, these products offer great insulation properties. They are therefore used in the industry for the insulation of pipes, exhausts and frunaces as well as electrical insulation. Their composition enables their dissolution by physiological fluids, allowing pulmonary elimination. Depending on the reinforcement used, tapes can withstand operating temperatures up to 1,050 °C and peak temperatures up to 1,150 °C.

The biosoluble fibre tapes provided by Final Advanced Materials are available with an E-glass fibre or a heat-resistant steel reinforcement, thus offering better mechanical properties. 

     Applications

• Insulation for pipes and exhausts
• Electrical insulation
• Metal work
• Insulation for furnaces

Ceramic Tapes, up to 1,700 °C

The ceramic fibre tapes are particularly designed for thermal, eletrical and mechanical applications under extreme conditions. They are therefore suitable for the insulation and protection of cables, tubes and pipes and to strengthen packaged products. Our ceramic fibre tapes are mostly made of Al₂O₃ at different percentages. They can withstand operating temperatures up to 1,250 °C and peak temperatures up to 1,350 °C. Their thermal properties outperform most materials such as aramid, glas or quartz.

A version with a heat cleaned and a heat treated finish is available to limit irritations for customised applications as well as flying fibres and the amount of smoke generated during exposure to high temperatures and to prevent the physical degradation of the fibre when subjected to hot and humid environments.

     Applications

• Thermal insulation
• Electrical insulation
• Protection of cables, pipes and tubes
• Reinforcement of assembled products

E-glass fibre tapes, up to 700 °C

E-glass fibre tapes are valued in the industry for their resistance to high temperatures. They can withstand peak temperatures up to 700 °C and operating temperatures up to 550 °C. Moreover, E-glass fibre is a rot-proof material that remains stable against humidity and temperature variations. This fibre can also resist chemical agents and offers good electrical insulation properties. Final Advanced Materials provides E-glass fibre tapes untreated, with a vermiculite finish or an adhesive side. These treatments enhance the resistance of the tapes to abrasion and their ability to withstand peak temperatures.
