Enhancements
Silicone Coating
Apply a Silicone Coating to weavelock and prevent any fibre ‘fly’. Coating one side of a webbing allows for the webbing to be cut in to strips and made in to a furnace conveyor strip curtain for hot oven / furnaces where the non-coated side faces the heat source, whilst the silicone binds the fibres and ensure longevity.
Adhesive Backing
Apply a special sacrificial high temperature self adhesive to aid applying the webbing in situ.
Graphite Dispersion
Vermiculite Dispersion
Heat Treatment / Caramelisation
Apply a heat treatment to heat set and caramelise the webbing and drive off any excess volatiles e.g. starch / binders.

FAQs
What is bio soluble fibre thermal webbing?
Bio soluble fibre thermal webbing is an insulation material made from bio soluble yarns, designed to be biodegradable and environmentally friendly. It is used in high-temperature applications, providing excellent thermal insulation and fire protection.
Where is bio soluble fibre thermal webbing used?
It is commonly used for insulating pipes, exhausts, and furnaces, as well as in industrial boilers and kilns. Additionally, it is employed for electrical insulation and in metalworking applications.
What are the advantages of using bio soluble fibre thermal webbing?
The primary advantage is its biodegradability, reducing the environmental impact of traditional insulation materials. Moreover, it is less biopersistent, meaning it is eliminated more quickly by the body while maintaining excellent thermal insulation and fire protection qualities.
Can bio soluble fibre thermal webbing be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, it can be used in high-temperature environments, with ratings up to 1200°C (2192°F). It is suitable for various applications, including welding, casting, and insulation in boiler systems.
Is bio soluble fibre thermal webbing suitable for all applications?
While it is highly effective for high-temperature insulation, it is important to consider the specific requirements of each application. Some products may require additional reinforcement or coatings for enhanced mechanical properties.It is produced from special calcium magnesium silicate (body soluble) yarns, which are woven into webbing or ladder tape. These tapes can be manufactured up to 500mm wide and are available in various thicknesses and widths.
What is Bio Soluble Webbing?
Bio soluble webbing is a specialised high temperature insulation material manufactured from advanced bio soluble yarns and engineered for demanding industrial sealing and insulation environments. These fibres are part of a modern generation of technical textiles developed as a safer direct replacement for older ceramic fibre products and materials containing harmful asbestos.
The bio soluble fibre insulation used in these products is based on alkaline earth silicate chemistry, commonly referred to as bio soluble fibre or calcium magnesium silicate. Because the fibres are body soluble, they dissolve more readily within the body, reducing the potential long-term health risks associated with traditional refractory fibres.
This modern bio soluble technology has made bio soluble webbing an increasingly important solution in industrial heat management systems, providing reliable thermal performance and strong fire protection properties across many demanding applications.
Materials and Construction
High performance bio soluble webbing is produced using carefully engineered bio soluble yarns which are woven into strong webbing structures. These bio soluble yarns are manufactured from advanced bio soluble fibre materials containing alkaline earth elements such as calcium, allowing them to provide excellent thermal stability and resistance.
The weaving process integrates central warp yarns and reinforcing fibres to create a strong yet flexible structure capable of maintaining performance in high temperature insulation environments.
To enhance mechanical durability, the webbing can also incorporate glass reinforcement or wire reinforcement depending on the operating conditions.
- Glass reinforcement utilises high temperature glass filaments or fibres to improve flexibility while maintaining strong insulation performance.
- Wire reinforcement integrates metal reinforcement within the woven structure to increase durability and allow the material to withstand higher temperature ratings under optimum conditions.
These reinforcement methods help ensure that bio soluble webbing remains reliable in demanding industrial environments where durability, flexibility and thermal resistance are essential.
Thermal Performance and Insulation Properties
The bio soluble fibre insulation used within these products provides excellent thermal insulation performance. The fibres demonstrate strong resistance to heat transfer due to their low thermal conductivity and stable thermal structure.
Because of these properties, bio soluble webbing provides excellent fire protection and insulation performance when exposed to high heat environments such as furnaces, kilns, and industrial boilers.
The fibres also demonstrate strong resistance to chemical exposure and environmental conditions including water soluble behaviour under certain biological conditions. This water soluble characteristic helps ensure that bio soluble fibres have reduced persistence in biological environments compared with traditional refractory fibres.
These characteristics make bio soluble webbing ideal for various applications involving industrial heat insulation and sealing.
Industrial Applications
Due to its strong thermal properties and durable construction, bio soluble webbing is widely used across many industrial sectors.
Typical application areas include:
- Boiler and furnace door seals
- Thermal barriers in furnaces and kilns
- Flexible sealing systems for industrial boilers
- Insulation around hot pipes and ducting
- Conveyor curtain systems used in heat treatment equipment
In these industrial environments, the webbing helps create a reliable insulation barrier capable of withstanding continuous high heat exposure while protecting surrounding components.
Because bio soluble yarns are designed for durability and flexibility, these products provide reliable thermal protection across a wide range of industrial application environments.
