Silica Rope
Up to 1200°C
Main applications
silica rope that stops high-temperature leakage at source
Key Features
Specialist high-temperature sealing
Braided silica fiber rope — made for kiln and furnace doors, hot flanges and expansion joints
Continuous service at 1000°C
High-purity silica — retaining elasticity and sealing function through prolonged heat
Round or square section
Round (∅8–50 mm), square and hollow forms — the optimal section for the location
Lower biological hazard than ceramic fiber rope
Silica material — an advantage for high-temperature seals on sites with hygiene requirements
Fitted immediately on site
Cut to length and install straight away — compressed into place without adhesive
