Product Description
JVCC FELT-N1 Nomex Felt Tape is made from 100% meta-aramid synthetic fibers which do not ignite, melt or drip and which retain their mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Meta-aramid is a mid-tenacity fiber rather than a high-strength one, so it stays soft and conformable and handles and cuts much like a conventional felt while still standing up to heat and flame.
At 1/8 in. thick, FELT-N1 is a lightweight and durable option for applications and industries where heat and flame resistance are the requirement. It is also used in high-temperature settings for sealing and for protection against scratches and dents.
Product Features
- Limiting Oxygen Index of 30, well above the oxygen content of normal air

- Good resistance to abrasion
- Soft and conformable, cuts and die cuts cleanly
- Electrically non-conductive
- Acrylic adhesive with high shear holding power, tested past 10,000 minutes
Product Applications
- High-temperature gaskets and seals
- Aerospace
- Grills and BBQ equipment
- Military
- Personal protective equipment and flame-resistant clothing
- Scratch and dent protection
Sizes
Stocked in 1/2 in., 3/4 in., 1 in., 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in. and 4 in. widths, all on 25 ft. rolls with a 3 in. diameter core. Note that 25 ft. and 300 in. are the same length, so listings quoting 300 in. refer to this same roll. The felt itself runs 0.125 in. to 0.145 in. thick, so 1/8 in. is the nominal figure at the low end of that range.
What To Expect
Meta-aramid felt is rated to 600°F on its own, but that figure applies to the felt, not to the finished tape. The felt has no melting point and holds its mechanical properties at high heat, but the acrylic adhesive is the limiting component and is tested to 400°F (204°C) for short-term elevated temperature exposure. Treat 400°F as the practical ceiling for the tape as an assembly, and expect sustained heat at or near that figure to shorten adhesive life well before the felt is affected.
For the best bond, apply between 50°F and 100°F (10°C to 38°C) to a surface that is clean, dry and free of grease, dirt or other contaminants. The adhesive is not recommended for bonding to cross-linked polyethylene. If your application involves continuous heat rather than intermittent exposure, please use our Contact Us page before ordering so we can help confirm the tape suits your conditions.
This is a high-temperature and flame-resistant material, not a general-purpose felt. If you need felt for crafts, cabinets or furniture protection, our JVCC ACF-06 Acrylic Craft Felt Tape and FindTape Polyester Felt Tape lines are far more economical.
