High Temperature Fabrics and High Temperature Tapes
with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
PSA, or Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, can be added to most tapes and fabrics.
The most common PSA is an acrylic based compound, which provides good adhesion at room temperatures and can be used up to 350°F / 176°C.
The purpose of the PSA is to facilitate installation of the material. Other methods should be used to attach the material onto the object for long term holding other than relying on the PSA (such as by the use of fasteners, clips, wire retainers, straps, etc.).
The PSA usually burns-off or vaporizes at temperatures at or above 375°F / 204°C, and therefore products with PSA should not be used in confined areas without adequate ventilation until all of the PSA has converted.
Products ordered with PSA are normally produced to order, and require production time which is normally 1 to 3 days.

Materials that resist catching fire, burn slowly, or retard burning can be described as either "incombustible", "non-flammable", "non-combustible", "fire-resistant" or "fire-retardant". "Self-extinguishing" materials cease burning once the flame or heat source is removed. "Fireproof" is understood to mean that an object cannot burn, but few materials are truly fireproof.
Most of our products fall within one or more of the above descriptions: they resist high temperature, flame, fire, molten metal splash and weld splatter very well but may melt with prolonged exposures past their designed maximum continuous operating temperature. They can also provide OSHA, ANSI-FM & NFPA compliance and personnel protection.
Using our products to retain heat or cold within pipes, hoses, enclosures or equipment helps conserve energy and resources, and reduces operating costs.
