Silica ladder tape


TEXSil® Silica Ladder Tapes have selvaged edges to prevent raveling. TEXSil® Silica Ladder Tapes are intended for high temperature applications with continuous service up to 1,800¡ãF (982¡ãC). 


Product Description 

TEXSil Texturized Silica Ladder Tapes are ¡°woven edge¡± texturized yarn silica ladder tapes for protection of equipment from fire, extreme heat, welding splatter and molten metal. They are represent different tape thicknesses, and all have the added benefit of woven edges to prevent unraveling. Silica Ladder Tape is used in high temperature applications such as insulation or thermal protection over: electrical cable, pipe, water jacketed tubing, cords, and hoses. Ladder Tapes are also used as ¡°mop style¡± furnace curtains, furnace door gasketing, high temperature seals, and as a replacement for refractory ceramic fiber ladder tape. Silica Ladder Tapes are used extensively in the Power Generation, Shipbuilding, Construction, Welding and Metal Processing industries.
