Knitted Exhaust Wrap
Product Description
KNITWRAP is manufactured from graphite impregnated E Glass fibre yarn (KNITWRAP-G) or Basalt Yarns (KNITWRAP-B) and has been designed for wrapping exhaust manifolds and down pipes to improve engine performance and to protect heat sensitive components running close to the exhaust.
Exhaust wraps are used on high performance car engines and have also proved popular with motorcycle enthusiasts. What makes KNITWRAP different from many of the glass fibre exhaust wraps on the market is that it is knitted rather than woven. Knitted products by their nature are soft and extremely conformable. In addition, when the tape is wrapped
in a half lap the knitted construction actually creates and traps small pockets of air which contribute to the insulation properties.
There are advantages to keeping vehicle exhaust gases hot including:
- Decreased exhaust gas density leading to improved exhaust flow.
- Increased hot exhaust flow helps improve engine performance by allowing cooler air to enter the engine which helps maximise horsepower output.
- Hotter exhaust gases ensure that catalytic converters run efficiently and help to reduce exhaust emissions.
Characteristics
- Highly conformable and will bed down well – allowing ease of application around awkward shapes.
- Continuous thermal protection up to 600ºC (graphite) / 700°C (basalt).
- Good abrasion resistance.
- Highly resistant to most oils, hydraulic fluids, fuels, acids and alkalis.
- Because of its insulation properties, KNITWRAP will also provide protection to sensitive electrical wiring and components running close to the
exhaust system. - Under bonnet temperatures are reduced.
Applications
- Exhaust / Hot Pipe Insulation
