Asbestos & Non-Asbestos Heat Insulation Products
MAP Brand Silica Fiber Cloth & Tape are weaved from a smooth textured Silica Fiber Yarn, comprising > 96% pure SiO2. The silica fiber fabric exhibits outstanding thermal insulation properties and shows excellent resistance to flame and spark. This fabric does not shrink in live heat and retains longevity even at continuous exposure to elevated temperature, owing to its low LOI. These industrical fabrics are non-toxic and & non-health hazardous in nature and does not cause any skin irritation even on continuous exposure.
Silica Fiber Cloth is also available with Vermiculite based dispersion treatment.

FAQ
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once commonly used in a variety of building materials for its heat-resistant and insulating properties. However, it has been linked to a number of serious health conditions, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, when its fibers are inhaled. As a result, many countries have banned the use of asbestos in new products.
Non Asbestos heat-insulating products are made from a variety of materials, including ceramic fibers, glass fibers, mineral wool, foam insulation, etc. These materials can be effective at insulating and reducing heat transfer, but do not pose the same health risks as asbestos.
It can be difficult to tell if a product contains asbestos just by looking at it. If you are concerned that a product in your home or workplace may contain asbestos, it is best to contact a professional asbestos abatement company for testing and guidance on how to safely remove or mitigate any asbestos-containing materials.
Non Asbestos heat insulating products can be just as effective at reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency as those containing asbestos. In fact, many non asbestos products offer additional benefits, such as being easier to install and having a longer lifespan.
In general, Non Asbestos heat insulating products are considered safe to use as long as they are installed and handled correctly. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and take proper precautions, such as wearing protective clothing and equipment, when working with these products.
