Thermo-Shield Tape

Extends Life of Hoses and Wires in High-Heat Environments Up To 2,000° F

What's special about this thermo-shield tape?

Fiberglass-aluminum composite material reflects up to 90% of radiant heat.
Prevents rubber or plastic hoses and wiring components from melting, drying out, or cracking in the presence of extreme heat (up to 2,000° F, or 1,093° C).
Adhesive backing provides a secure and durable bond
Perfect for splicing the ends of heat-shield tubing, or for wrapping pre-installed components that can’t be easily disconnected.
Gives a clean and professional appearance

Thermo-Shield is an adhesive backed composite tape that can be used to wrap hoses or wires. Radiant and conductive heat can melt, or dry out, the rubber and plastic components in hoses and wiring, causing them to leak or short out. This wrap can protect these hoses and wires from that heat and extend their lifetime.

V. Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
Dust or loose fibers can be vacuumed or swept with the aid of a dust suppressant. Dispose according to federal, state, and local environmental regulations.

VI. Handling and Storage

Store material in a clean dry place, and keep container closed.

Particular care should be taken when working with "used" material to minimize dust. If exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn.

VII. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls

Ventilation:
General ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be utilized to maintain exposures below the Threshold Limit Value (TLV).

Respiratory Protection:
Use and approved disposable dust respirator designed for nuisance type dusts.

Eye Protection:
Safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles must be worn to prevent eye contact. A good safety practice is to have an eyewash station readily available near the work area.

Protective Clothing:
Wear rubber gloves when handling this product. Personnel that are more susceptible to irritation from fibers or dusts should wear full-body coveralls.

Hygienic Practices:
Use good personal hygiene practices. The use of protective creams before handling the material may prove beneficial.
