Refractory Ceramic Fibre Ladder Tape (Wire Reinforced): our refractory ceramic fibre webbings are manufactured from blown aluminosilicate fibre yarn which has been blended from high purity alumina and silica. Its combination of physical and refractory properties makes this an outstanding material for use in high temperature applications. They form a direct, asbestos free, substitute for the equivalent asbestos textile products.
The ceramic fibre insulation is rated to 1260°C with the wire reinforcement rated to 1000°C.
Please note that our tape is normally supplied in loomstate form. In the manufacture of ceramic yarn a certain small percentage of organic binder is used to aid spinning. This can sometimes cause "flashing" at high temperatures. This can be avoided if the product is heat cleaned prior to use or if the organic impurities in the product can be allowed to burn off in situ on application for the initial period.
In light of health and safety concerns for refractory ceramic fibre we strongly urge our customers to consider our S-TEX Silica, Belcotex® 110 Fibre, HT Modified Glass or Bio Soluble alternatives.
