HYTEX® 2500 is a ceramic textile product made from aluminoborosilicate fibers, designed for high-temperature thermal insulation and sealing applications. The material is nonflammable, with a melting point of at least 3270°F (1800°C) and a specific gravity of 2.7. Fibers are 7-13 microns in diameter, classified as non-respirable per WHO convention, and retain structural integrity under normal use conditions. It is available in forms including fabric, tape, sleeving, rope, and yarn, and is compliant with TSCA chemical notification requirements. The product is not regulated for transport under DOT or RCRA and is subject to federal occupational exposure limits of 15 mg/m³ for inhalable dust and 5 mg/m³ for respirable dust. Skin, eye, and respiratory irritation may occur upon direct exposure, requiring appropriate personal protective equipment.
Mid-Mountain manufactures textiles designed for use as thermal seals and barriers for high temperature applications in moderate to severe environments. In 1976, we began manufacturing Channel Tapes and Tadpole Tapes for use as seals in gas fireplaces and pellet stoves. Since then, we have engineered a wide variety of textiles used as thermal insulation seals and barriers across numerous industries.
Made with a wide variety of substrates, HYTEX® High-Temperature Resistant Textiles have a continuous operating temperature from 400°F • 204°C to 5000°F • 2760°C (no oxygen present). Many standard products are available in configurations of knit or woven fabric, knit or woven tape, knit or braided rope (both round and square), and knit or braided sleeving. We also have the capability to laminate with foil or pressure-sensitive adhesive, or apply a specialty coating for applications that require increased heat, abrasion or chemical resistance.
