Ceramic Fiber Rope includes three styles: twisted, round braided and square braided. All are made from high quality ceramic fiber material. They can be used for high temperature applications up to 2300� F. The rope is reinforced with fibreglass filament, and optional Inconel/alloy steel wire. Ceramic fiber textiles (cloth, tape and rope) contain a certain amount of binder material which is normally burned at lower temperature and does not affect the insulation property.

Applications:-

Door seals or caulking for ovens, furnaces and boilers, expansion joints, cable or pipe wrapping, high temperature seals or gaskets. These products have been widely used in welding, foundry works, aluminium and steel mills, boiler insulation and seal, exhaust systems, shipyards, refineries, power plants and chemical plants. They are also used as the core in tadpole gaskets. The three different styles are designed to fit different application needs: twisted rope is a soft rope, while square and round braid are more dense and solid.
