- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
- Pyrosil Tape is designed to provide a self-fusing inorganic rubber insulator, and to be used in conjunction with Pyrojacket and Pyrotape as an end sealant to prevent moisture and hydraulic oils from wicking into the inner braid. The self-bonding silicone offers excellent resistance to radiant heat, corrosive atmosphere, moisture, chemicals, vibration, and electricity.
- Pyrosil Tape makes a flexible, homogenous, coil insulation that is easily applied with one wrap of the tape forming a void free system.
- Reinforcement with sinusoidal-shaped glass fiber provides significantly more tensile strength. It also provides resistance to notch sensitivity.
- Pyrosil™ is a non-adhesive, iron oxide red silicone rubber tape, designed to withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 475°F (246°C).
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Area
- Applications
- Pyrosil Tape’s excellent dielectric strength make suitable as an electrical insulator in a variety of applications.
- By virtue of its high dielectric strength, Pyrosil™ heat resistant tape is an excellent alternative to heat shrinkable tubing, vinyl tapes and wraps.
- Pyrosil™ is also ideal for use as an end sealant in conjunction with PYROJACKET® to prevent hydraulic oils and contaminants wicking into the inner braid.
- Typical applications include: wrapping wiring harnesses; protecting splices and terminations of power cables; insulating coils on motors and generators.
- Installation
Stretch tape during installation using at least a 50% overlap. For best results, use on clean, dry surfaces free from dirt and oil.
