HT Silicate Fibre Braided Ropes 1,200 °C

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

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

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

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