Overview of Asbestos Refractory Tape:
Asbestos refractory tape is one of the oldest and first refractory tapes on the market. Until a few decades ago, all insulation and sealing tapes in motor homes and industrial machines were all made of asbestos. Asbestos refractory tape is composed of refractory asbestos fibers. These fibers, also known as refractory fibers and asbestos yarn, are woven together in the form of warp and weft, and due to their sword-like shape, they are connected to each other and form a cohesive structure called asbestos refractory tape. These fibers are woven from the finest type of mountain cotton. Asbestos refractory tape has many properties, but the most important of them are mechanical strength, good ignition drop, good and very low heat transfer and good heat tolerance. Asbestos refractory tape is able to easily cover a temperature equivalent to 550 degrees Celsius and maintain its structure in this temperature range. But you should know that due to the problems that asbestos and its dust cause to human health (such as lung cancer), it has been banned and restricted for a decade for the whole world. Of course, the use of asbestos tape in places where humans do not deal with it is not prohibited. The most important uses of asbestos refractory tape are:
Suitable for sealing and sealing all kinds of industrial tanks and small and large installations from motor homes to the most important petrochemical installations, power plants, platforms and fuel and oil stations that humans do not deal with.
The most suitable choice for making all kinds of manholes, gaskets and flanges for sealing that humans do not deal with
The best choice for insulating the furnace heating system that humans do not deal with
Suitable for sewing the main layer of clothing, gloves and fireproof bags
Insulation of all types of cement factory walls
Used in industrial steam tanks
Asbestos refractory tape is produced and supplied in three types: 1- Dusty asbestos refractory tape 2- Dust-free asbestos refractory tape 3- Foil asbestos refractory tape.
1- Dusty asbestos refractory tape uses Teflon or PTFE fibers and dust and asbestos dust in its structure and is suitable for use in high pressure joints and insulations. The heat tolerance of this product has been reduced to 350 degrees Celsius.
2 – Dust-free asbestos tape is also known as pure asbestos tape and is composed entirely of asbestos fibers and no impurities are found in it. The heat tolerance of this product is up to 550 degrees Celsius.
3- Foil asbestos refractory tape is an upgraded example of asbestos refractory tape. Aluminum foil in this product has increased mechanical and thermal strength. The heat tolerance of this product is 600 degrees Celsius.
All three types of this asbestos refractory tape are offered in thicknesses of 1.5 to 3 mm and in widths of 3 to 10 cm in the suppliers of your service industry, esteemed masters.
