High Silica Plain Weave Tape | Silica Content >98%
High-Temperature Silica Tape for Thermal Insulation, Fire Protection & Sealing
High Silica Plain Weave Tape (>98% SiO₂) is a high-performance, high-temperature insulation tape engineered for applications requiring excellent thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and easy handling.
Manufactured from continuous high-purity silica fibers and woven in a plain weave construction, this tape offers uniform thickness, high tensile strength, and reliable insulation performance in extreme heat environments.
Designed for continuous operating temperatures up to 1000°C with short-term exposure up to 1200°C, high silica plain weave tape is widely used for wrapping hot pipes, sealing furnace joints, fire protection systems, and thermal insulation of cables and hoses.
Key Performance Advantages
- Silica Content: >98% (Ultra-High Purity SiO₂)
- Continuous Temperature Resistance: Up to 1000°C
- Short-Term Heat Exposure: Up to 1200°C
- Plain Weave Construction for Dimensional Stability
- Excellent Tensile Strength & Abrasion Resistance
- Low Thermal Conductivity
- Non-Combustible, Non-Asbestos & Halogen-Free
The plain weave structure ensures consistent width, thickness, and strength, making the tape ideal for straight wrapping and flat sealing applications.
Tape Construction & Engineering Benefits
High Silica Plain Weave Tape is produced from high-purity silica yarns created through a controlled leaching process to achieve >98% silica content. The plain weave design provides:
- Balanced strength in warp and weft directions
- Reduced fraying during installation
- Smooth surface for tight wrapping and bonding
- Reliable performance under thermal cycling
Compared to knitted or satin weave tapes, plain weave tape offers superior dimensional control and mechanical stability.
