E-Glass Fibre Twisted Ropes, heat-resistant up to 700 °C
E-glass fibre offers good resistance to high temperatures and great electrical insulation properties. This high-quality fibre is rot-proof and can resist the main chemical agents. Moreover, it remains dimensionally stable, even with strong variations in temperatures and humidity.
When they have a diameter greater than 9 μm, E-glass filaments are harmful for health as they can lead to skin irritation. Filaments with a diameter smaller than 3 μm are however respirable and can build up in the respiratory system. In order to prevent these risks, Final Advanced Materials proposes E-glass fibre twisted ropes with a diameter between 6 and 9 μm.
E-glass twisted ropes can withstand operating temperatures up to 550 °C and peak temperatures up to 700 °C. They are therefore used in the industry as high-temperature gaskets for industrial furnaces and chimneys.
E-glass twisted ropes with a diameter ranging from 3 to 60 mm are available. For more information regarding the availability, refer to the technical data sheet.

The main difference between these two solutions is the working temperature. Zetex is stable from 500 to 700°C, while silicate fibres can withstand temperatures up to 1,000–1,200°C.
Biosoluble fibre twisted ropes and braided ropes are soft, flexible, and compressible. They retain some of their elasticity after compression, but it depends on the pressure exerted. The recovery rate also depends on the type of reinforcement used. Final Advanced Materials offers biosoluble fibre twisted ropes and braided ropes with fibreglass or stainless-steel reinforcements for ovens operating up to 1,200°C.
The rope’s diameter depends on the size of the groove. As a general rule, the rope should be 10% to 20% wider than the groove to ensure effective compression. These values depend on the nature of the components.
