Silica woven tape is a high-temperature resistant textile made from amorphous silica fibers, typically with a silica content of around 96% or higher. It is woven into a flat, tape-like form that provides flexibility, strength, and durability in extreme heat environments.

Because of its low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal shock resistance, and ability to withstand continuous temperatures up to 1000 °C (1832 °F) and even short-term exposure beyond that, silica woven tape is widely used in industries where thermal protection and insulation are critical.

Key Features:

• High heat resistance (continuous up to ~1000 °C, peak higher)

• Non-combustible and flame-resistant

• Low thermal conductivity (acts as insulation)

• Good abrasion resistance

• Chemically stable and resistant to most solvents and acids

• Flexible and easy to wrap or apply

Main Usages:

1. Thermal Insulation & Heat Shields

   • Wrapping hot pipes, exhaust systems, and ducts in furnaces, power plants, and refineries.

   • Protecting sensitive equipment and nearby components from radiant heat.

2. Sealing & Gasketing

   • Used around doors of furnaces, kilns, ovens, and stoves to form high-temperature seals.

   • Often applied at flanges, expansion joints, and access panels.

3. Cable, Hose & Line Protection

   • Wrapped around electrical cables, hydraulic hoses, or fuel lines to shield them from heat exposure.

4. Welding & Foundry Applications

   • Used as protective wrapping or curtains in welding environments.

   • Serves as insulation barriers in foundries and metal processing.

5. Fire Protection

   • Applied in fire-resistant barriers, blankets, and protective wraps.

   • Enhances fire safety in aerospace, marine, automotive, and industrial systems.
