Tadpole Seals

Our exclusive Tadpole Gaskets are economical, effective heat barrier seals that combine high heat resistance, flexibility and long service life. Our Type 2 Tadpole is one of the most used designs in the industry. It is a standard for many original equipment manufactures.

Tadpole seals are used in sealing oven doors, covers, damper blades, panel joints, ducting, expansion joints, burners and other applications where conformance to uneven flanges and surfaces is required. The tail or fin sections of the tadpole can be attached to metal or refractory surfaces by bolting or metal strapping or sheet metal screws. Special application include extremely low, as well as extremely high temperature applications, as those found in cryogenics and refractory operations.
