Tadpole tapes are used to seal oven doors or furnaces, where thermal conditions are elevated while pressures are minimal.
A metallic wire core (Stainless steel 304 or Inconel) is recommended where there is constant opening and closing. A metallic wire mesh can be added to the exterior to prevent excessive wear. Several coatings are available: dye, graphite, mica, vermiculite, silicone, PTFE.
