Share this page by mail High Temperature Aramid Fibre Tapes 400 °C
Aramid Fibre Tapes, up to 400 °C
Aramid fibre was developped in the 60s. This material consists of yellow filaments of about ten microns in diameter, assembled into threads.
Tapes composed of continuous para-aramid fibres offer excellent mechanical and chemical properties, such as their resistance to tearing and to abrasion. They can withstand continuous temperatures up to 350 °C and peak temperatures up to 400 °C. These tapes also feature good stability for a wide variety of chemical products.
Aramid fibre tapes are mainly used in the glass industry, valued for their homogeneity and the regularity of their weaving, 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.

FAQs that can help you in this category
Whether for insulation or protection applications, high-temperature tapes are frequently used in the industry, on manifolds, tubes and exhausts. Final Advanced Materials produces fibreglass tapes with excellent insulating properties up to 550°C, and basalt fibre tapes which combine insulation and thermal stability up to 700°C and also have a natural bronze colour without treatment. These tapes can be coated with silicone to meet sealing needs.
Basalt fibres and ceramic fibres are inorganic fibres which are resistant to very high temperatures: 700°C and 1,100°C respectively. They are used in the industry or the aeronautics sector for insulation and protection applications, primarily thermal protection. Both these fibres have excellent temperature resistance and effective thermal and electrical insulation. The temperature they will be exposed to is the main factor determining the choice of tape. If it is lower than 700°C, we recommend a basalt fibre tape which is more cost-effective.
Like most inorganic fibres, high-temperature fibreglass tapes are sensitive to abrasion. Final Advanced Materials offers tapes with surface treatments to improve this resistance. Certain coatings, such as silicone, also make the material waterproof, while others, like vermiculite, increase short-term temperature resistance or reduce slag formation.
