A health-conscious alternative to asbestos

Silicaflex™ Tape AB is a slit silica tape constructed from 96% pure SiO2 silica fiber, coated on one side with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that facilitates installation. The adhesive decomposes at high temperatures, leaving a perfectly tape-wrapped hose, cable, or pipe.

Designed for severe heat environments

Suitable for use at 1800°F (982°C), and able to withstand short-term exposure up to 3000°F (1650°C) Silicaflex™ Tape AB sets the standard for flexibility and minimum lineal shrinkage under high-heat conditions.

Durability is further enhanced with a proprietary hydrocarbon coating, giving Silicaflex™ Tape AB unmatched abrasion resistance and tensile strength.

Stock and custom sizes

Available in standard widths of 2” (50mm) and 4” (102mm). Custom widths are also available by special order. Supplied only in 150ft (45m) rolls.
