Product Name
Bron BT-1122 Foil Glass Cloth Tape - .75in x 36yds
Brief Description
The Bron BT-1122 Foil Glass Cloth Tape is a high-performance, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that combines the strength of fiberglass cloth with the reflective and conductive properties of aluminum foil. It is engineered for demanding applications requiring high tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, and consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures. The tape features a silicone adhesive system designed for strong bonding and clean removal.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Heat reflective wrap over insulation cables, instruments, or other high-temperature sensitive materials.- Thermal spray masking, including plasma spray, flame spray, and HVOF processes.- Sealing and repairing insulation on HVAC ducts, pipes, and other components.- Protecting and shielding various missile and aircraft components such as control cables, harnesses, and fuel lines.- Bundling wire harnesses and providing electrical insulation in transformers and cables.- Thermal insulation and protection in automotive engine compartments and near exhaust systems.- Industrial applications exposed to movement and vibration.- Preventing the build-up of liquid metal on protected surfaces.- General industrial sealing, seaming, shielding, and plastic protection.
Industries that Commonly Use It

Special and Unique Features
- High tensile strength, offering superior puncture, fracture, and tear resistance.- Excellent abrasion resistance and conformability to irregular surfaces.- Flame retardant properties, preventing burning under open flame or extreme temperature exposure.- Thermally conductive and reflective aluminum foil backing assists with heat shielding.- Non-corrosive and resistant to flame, moisture, weather, and UV degradation.- Silicone adhesive system provides an excellent bond and removes cleanly after use.- Can withstand moderate grit blasting, making it suitable for plasma spray applications.
Key Properties
- Backing Material: Aluminum Foil / Glass Cloth (Fiberglass) laminate.- Adhesive Type: Pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive.- Temperature Resistance: Performs continuously in temperatures ranging from approximately -65°F (-54°C) to 600°F (316°C).- High Strength: Offers high tensile strength and resistance to tearing and puncture.- Reflectivity: Provides outstanding radiant heat reflectivity.- Chemical Resistance: Resists chemical exposure.- Flexibility: Lightweight and flexible construction allows it to conform to curved and irregular surfaces.
Surface Compatibility
- Adheres well to silicone surfaces.- Provides a reliable bond to a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and ceramic.- Conforms effectively to irregular or uneven substrates and surfaces.
Known backups / known substitutes
- 3M™ High Temperature Aluminum Foil/Glass Cloth Tape 363 and 363L.- JVCC AF-GC-5 Aluminum Foil / Glass Cloth Tape.- TLC #955.- Permacel #P-100.- Scapa #290.- Dewal #407.- St. Gobain/Furon #2925-7.- General alternatives for heat-resistant tape may include: aluminum foil (for lower temperatures), fireproof cloth or fabric (fiberglass, silicone-coated), heat-resistant adhesives, ceramic fiber insulation, welding blankets, metal clamps or clips, heat-resistant paint, or copper/brass wire (for moderate heat).
Comparison Note
The Bron BT-1122 Foil Glass Cloth Tape is comparable to other high-temperature aluminum foil/glass cloth tapes on the market, such as the 3M 363 series, offering similar properties of high tensile strength, heat reflectivity, flame resistance, and conformability. It is designed for applications where robust thermal protection, abrasion resistance, and clean removal are critical, distinguishing it from standard foil or cloth tapes by its combined material properties and high-performance adhesive system.
