TADPOLE TAPE / ROPE
Tadpole tape is a specialized thermal gasketing used to create high-temperature seals on doors, access ports, and flanges for equipment like furnaces, ovens, boilers, and wood stoves.
Preventing heat and gases from escaping by using a compressible bulb for sealing and a tail for attachment, available in various heat-resistant materials.
ApplicationsSealing Doors & Access Points: Its primary function is sealing openings on industrial ovens, furnaces, incinerators, kilns, and even domestic heaters. Flange & Gasketing: Used as a gasket where low bolt force is applied, such as on crucible lids or ladle seals in aluminum casting. High-Temperature Environments: Ideal for containing hot gases and providing insulation in extreme heat, often up to 1000°F (538°C) or higher depending on the material. How it Works (Bulb & Tail)The Bulb: A dense core (fiberglass, ceramic, or metal mesh) wrapped in fabric that compresses under pressure to form an airtight seal. The Tail: A flexible strip that extends from the bulb, used to fasten the tape in place with fasteners, clips, or adhesive. Materials & TypesMaterials: Commonly made from fiberglass, silica, or ceramic fibers for high heat resistance, with cores of stainless steel or Inconel. Styles: Available in different configurations, including conventional (centered tail), tangential (tangent tail), and double-tail designs |
