AVS Industries manufactures Woven Silica tape and Adhesive Backed Silica tape.

AVSil® Silica Woven and Adhesive-Backed Slit Tapes provide excellent thermal protection for electrical lines, piping, and equipment in high temperature applications against welding splatter, fire, extreme heat and molten metal. AVSil® Silica Woven and Adhesive-Backed Slit Tapes are used in many different industries for thermal protection over; pipes, electrical wires, water hoses, cords and cables.

AVSil® Silica Woven Tape

AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes have a "woven edge" to protect against equipment fire, extreme heat, welding splatter and molten metal. AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes have selvaged edges to prevent raveling. WT36CH and WT65CH have a finish that improves low temperature handling. AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes are intended for high temperature applications with continuous service up to 1800°F (982°C). AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes are extensively used in the following Industries: Power Generation, Shipbuilding, Construction, Welding, and Metal Processing.

Potential applications include: insulation wrap for pipes, hoses and electrical cables, isolated high temperature welding protection, and thermal and/or welding blanket fabrication for cut edge protection to eliminate fraying.
