E-Glass Fibre Braided Ropes 700°C

E-Glass Fibre Braided Ropes, up to 700 °C

E-glass fibre is characterised by its resistance to continuous high temperatures and its excellent electrical insulation properties. E-glass fibre is rot-proof, can withstand the main chemical agents and remains dimensionally stable, even under intense variations of humidity and temperature. 

Produced in round or square sections, E-glass fibre braided ropes are manufactured from textured strands of diameter ranging from 6 to 9 µm. These are employed in applications involving continuous exposure to temperatures up to 550 °C, and peak temperatures of 700 °C.

Various treated versions are available: silicone-, rubber- or PTFE-coated, graphite-impregnated, aramid-combined or stainless-steel sheathed. This permits the improvement of the mechanical properties of braided ropes, the prevention of contamination by stray fibres or the improvement of leak-tightness. 

Braided ropes are available in standard diameters ranging from 4 to 60 mm.

Any fraying of cut sheathing is prevented by two knitted versions: white for applications up to 550 °C, and black for applications up to 700 °C, under continuous exposure to these temperatures. The knitted manufacturing process also improves the elasticity of sheathing, and restricts the occurrence of stray fibres. Round- or square-section braided ropes may be stainless steel-reinforced, graphite-impregnated or sheathed in stainless steel or glass fibre for the improvement of resilience, mechanical properties and abrasion-resistance, or the prevention of contamination by stray fibres.
