High Temperature Insulation Basalt Exhaust Tape for Exhaust Heat Management
Product Overview
High Temperature Insulation Basalt Exhaust Tape is designed to control heat transfer and improve thermal management in exhaust systems operating under extreme temperature conditions. Manufactured from continuous basalt fibers, this exhaust insulation tape provides effective heat containment, flame resistance, and long-term durability without the use of chemical additives or hazardous materials.
Basalt exhaust tape is widely used in automotive, motorcycle, racing, and industrial exhaust applications where reducing surface temperature, protecting surrounding components, and improving exhaust efficiency are critical.
Material & Construction
This exhaust tape is produced from natural basalt fibers formed by melting volcanic rock and drawing it into continuous filaments. The resulting fibers offer excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to high temperatures.
The tape can be manufactured in multiple woven structures and surface patterns to meet different insulation, flexibility, and durability requirements. Various weave designs allow the tape to conform to complex exhaust geometries while maintaining reliable insulation performance.
Key construction features include:
-
Continuous basalt fiber yarns
-
Multiple woven structures available
-
Inherent resistance to heat and flame
-
Flexible tape structure for easy wrapping
-
Free of asbestos and hazardous additives
Thermal Performance Characteristics
High temperature insulation basalt exhaust tape is engineered to perform reliably in demanding exhaust environments:
-
Helps reduce exhaust pipe surface temperature
-
Retains exhaust gas heat within the system
-
Improves exhaust flow efficiency
-
Protects nearby components from radiant heat
-
Maintains performance under thermal cycling and vibration
The tape is suitable for continuous high-temperature operation and short-term temperature peaks commonly encountered in exhaust systems.
Typical Applications
Basalt exhaust tape is commonly used in:
-
Automotive exhaust pipes and headers
-
Motorcycle exhaust systems
-
Turbocharger and downpipe insulation
-
Racing and performance exhaust applications
-
Industrial exhaust ducts and high-temperature piping
These applications benefit from improved thermal control and reduced heat dissipation.
