Overview of DeWAL Thermal Spray Tapes

DeWAL thermal spray tapes are high temperature resistant tapes used in various industrial applications where high heat resistance is required. They are designed to withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) and can resist molten metal splash up to 2000°F (1093°C).

Key Features of DeWAL Thermal Spray Tapes

Some of the key features of DeWAL thermal spray tapes include:

• High temperature resistance up to 500°F (260°C) continuous
• Withstand molten metal splash up to 2000°F (1093°C)
• Removable after use without adhesive residue
• Variety of backing materials like glass cloth, silicone-coated fiberglass, mica
• Available in different thicknesses and widths

Applications of DeWAL Thermal Spray Tapes

DeWAL thermal spray tapes are widely used in applications like:

Thermal Spraying

• Masking parts during thermal spray operations like arc spraying, flame spraying etc.
• Protecting areas not to be coated from overspray

Welding

• Shielding surfaces from weld splatter
• Masking off areas during welding processes

Metal Pouring

• Protecting surfaces from molten metal splash during foundry operations

High Temperature Processing

• Masking and wrapping parts during high temperature paint curing
• Insulating areas during heat treating operations

Types of DeWAL Thermal Spray Tapes

DeWAL offers several types of thermal spray tapes for various temperature requirements:

Tape	Max Temperature	Key Features
Polyester	500°F (260°C)	Economical option for low temperature uses
Fiberglass	1000°F (538°C)	Withstands higher heat while removing cleanly
Silicone Coated Fiberglass	1500°F (816°C)	High heat resistance with easy release
Mica	2000°F (1093°C)	Extreme temperature protection from molten metal splash

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperatures can DeWAL thermal spray tapes withstand?

DeWAL thermal spray tapes can handle continuous temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). They can also resist molten metal splash up to 2000°F (1093°C) depending on the backing material.

How are DeWAL thermal spray tapes removed after use?

DeWAL thermal spray tapes are designed to remove cleanly after use without leaving behind adhesive residue. They can be simply peeled off surfaces after high temperature exposure.

What industries typically use DeWAL thermal spray tapes?

Common industries using DeWAL thermal spray tapes include thermal spraying, welding, metal pouring and casting, heat treating, and other high temperature processing.

What backing materials are available for DeWAL thermal spray tapes?

Popular backing materials for DeWAL tapes include polyester, fiberglass, silicone-coated fiberglass, and mica depending on required temperature resistance.

Are DeWAL thermal spray tapes only for masking applications?

While commonly used for masking, DeWAL thermal spray tapes can also be used for wrapping and insulating parts during high temperature processing up to 500°F (260°C).
