Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
- Pyrotape is designed to provide a non-adhesive insulating wrap that can be used as a substitute for Pyrojacket protecting assemblies without disconnection of the hose or cable assembly.
- Pyrotape offers excellent resistance to molten metal splash, radiant heat, abrasion, corrosive atmosphere, moisture, chemicals, vibration, and electricity.
- Pyrotape® is a knitted high bulk glass fiber tape, heavily coated with our proprietary compound of iron oxide red silicone rubber. The specially designed compound sheds molten metal splash immediately, so very little heat transfer occurs.
- Pyrotape® can withstand repeated exposures to molten steel, molten aluminum and molten glass, up to 3000°F (1650°C).
- Non-adhesive install, without disconnection
- High temperature protection for hoses and cables
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
Pyrotape® has an excellent modulus of elasticity and can wrap any diameter hose or cable – typically in a spiral wrap with a 50% overlap. Can be installed without disconnecting hoses or cables.
- Installation
A 30-50% overlap is recommended, using Pyrosil Tape or stainless steel ties to hold tape in place.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Product Details
- Pyrotape® withstands continuous exposure to 500°F (260°C), up to 2000°F (1090°C) for 15-20 minutes, and up to 3000°F (1650°C) for 15-30 seconds.
- When exposed to flame, the silicone rubber transforms to a crust, creating a protective SiO2 refractory layer.
Safety & Health
- Cautionary Notes
Not recommended for severe dynamic flexing applications unless firmly clamped in place.
