High Temperature Zetex® Twisted Ropes 700°C

Zetex® Twisted Ropes, up to 700 °C

Our partner Newtex offers a wide range of fire resistant and temperature resistant products since 1978. The Zetex® range presents a great variety of heat resistant textiles which can withstand temperatures up to 700 °C. Their performances remain unbeaten up to this day.

Our Zetex® twisted ropes are made of twisted fiberglass and commonly used in high temperature sealing and packing applications involving hot air, steam, water, fluids, or gases. They are resistant to most acids and alkalis, and won't shrink, stretch, or unravel. 

Twisted ropes are a conformable and economical product used for sealing boilers and oven and furnace doors, including those with uneven surfaces. They are available in diameter of 6 mm, 12 mm, 20 mm and 25 mm as well as in a ZetexPlus® version.

Applications of Zetex® Fibre Twisted Ropes

  • Heat insultation
  • Insulation of pipes and tailpipes
  • Sealing boilers and oven & furnace doors

FAQs that can help you in this category

Zetex twisted rope vs silicate fibre twisted rope: what are the differences in terms of temperature resistance?

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.

Do biosoluble fibre twisted ropes retain their elasticity after high compression?

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.

What diameter of high-temperature braided rope should I choose for industrial expansion joints?

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.
