CFP Tadpole Tapes are resilient gasketing tapes formed by folding specially designed cover materials over heat resistant cores and sewing or cementing the tail section to form the
characteristic "tadpole" shape. The design provides effective sealing where limited bolt pressure and/or uneven mating surfaces are prevalent. RL7653 tadpole tape uses a specially blended
version of Flextra woven cloth treated with silicone aluminum resins to enhance higher temperature capabilities. The cover material is folded over a stainless steel mesh core and stitched
with a high ?temperature sewing thread.
