Silicate Fibre Braided Ropes 1200°C

Silicate Fibre Braided Ropes, up to 1,200 °C

Final Advanced Materials supplies two silicate products, with a 98 % and 94 % SiO₂ content, for the effective fulfilment of all requirements.

Silicate fibre braided ropes are inorganic and contain no toxic substances (asbestos-free) or irritants. The good thermal and mechanical properties of these products make them excellent replacements for asbestos-based products. Ranging from 6 to 9 μm in diameter, these fibres pose no hazard to health.

In addition to being excellent low-density thermal insulators, silicate fibre products are fire-resistant, and have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, even at very high temperatures. They are highly resistant to chemical agents, particularly acids, and to radiation. In comparative terms, silicate fibre-based textiles show superior resistance to high temperatures than biosoluble fibre textiles.

S98 braided ropes are comprised of over 98 % silica. They are suitable for high temperature applications up to 1,200 °C.

S94 braided ropes contain over 94 % SiO₂, and function as excellent thermal insulators at temperatures up to 1,100 °C. 

Braided ropes are available in square or round sections.

Applications of Silicate Braided Ropes

• Sealing gaskets
• Thermal protection
