Z-Rock® Basalt Tapes, up to 1,095 °C
Our partner Newtex offers a wide range of fire resistant and temperature resistant products since 1978. Their performances remain unbeaten up to this day.
Newtex's Z-Rock® basalt fibre tapes have comparable properties to ZetexPlus® products, except they are more flexible and have a better rendering, meaning they avoid snagging during installation. They are other lighter and more durable than the usual basalt tapes. They can withstand a continuous temperature of 815 °C and a peak temperature of 1,095 °C. Moreover, these tapes are infrared, chemical and abrasion resistant.
They are mainly used in the automotive, aerospace and transportation sectors for cables, pipes and exhaust system insulation.
Applications of Z-Rock® Basalt Fibre Tapes
- Insulation of cables
- Insulation of pipes
- Insulation of exhausts

Z-Rock® Tapes
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.
