Wearflex® tadpoles are prefabricated high temperature resistant seals applicable up to more than 1600°C. They can be used in a wide range of applications, such as for sealing kiln doors, inspection doors, manway doors, peephole doors, around peepholes, around burners, guillotine valves or between hot air/flue gas ducts. The tail or fin sections of the tadpole can be attached to metal or refractory surfaces.
Wearflex® tadpoles are constructed of treated high temperature cover materials wrapped over resilient high temperature core materials forming a 'bulb' and 'tail' construction. Tadpoles are ideal for sealing flanges with limited bolt force, warped or uneven surfaces, or joints where flat tapes/packings are not suitable.
Special applications include low, as well as extremely high temperature applications, as those found in refractory operations.
