S-TEX Silica Fibre Ladder Tape: S-TEX-LT is made by weaving textured twisted continuous filament silica yarn guaranteeing excellent thermal insulation properties. S-TEX-LT tape causes little irritation and resists continuous temperatures up to 1000°C. It does not vitrify and is recommended in substitution of ceramic fibre webbing.
S-TEX-LT exhibits excellent chemical stability resisting attack from organic agents, water and hot acids (except hydrofluoric acid). Central warp yarns have been removed to create a ladder section to enable application over bolts suitable for boiler, furnace and kiln car door seals.
