Silicate Fibre Braided Ropes 1,200 °C

Silicate Fibre Braided Ropes, heat-resistant up to 1,200 °C

Silicate fibre is an inorganic mineral composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and other metallic oxides such as aluminium, calcium, magnesium, etc., that doesn’t contain toxic substances. It poses no health risk when handling thanks to its diameter of 9 μm and offers strong thermal and mechanical properties. This fibre is therefore an excellent alternative to ceramic fibres and asbestos products.

As they can withstand peak temperatures up to 1,200 °C and operating temperatures up to 1,000 °C, silicate fibre braided ropes have excellent thermal resistivity. With the silicate fibre of their composition, they can withstand high temperatures better than biosoluble fibre or glass fibre products. These products are therefore used in the industry for the assembly of heat protections. These braided ropes are also employed for the manufacture of sealing joints.

Final Advanced Materials provides silicate fibre braided ropes with a square section ranging from 4 x 4 to 50 x 50 mm or with a round section ranging from 5 to 50 mm. Depending on their level of silicon dioxide, silicate fibre textiles can have different mechanical, thermal and physical properties. In order to meet every need, different declinations of the silicate fibre are therefore proposed for silicate fibre braided ropes.
