About Silicone Coated Fiberglass Rope

The silicone coated fiberglass rope is fabricated from a bulk braided fiberglass rope substrate with thick liquid silicone rubber coating.

Properties:
Designed to provide a seal in environments that are exposed to the hazards of high heat and occasional flame.
Resistant to hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, and fuels, providing an excellent high temperature seal for a variety of industrial uses.
Withstand a molten splash at 2200 degree F / 1205 degree C

Applications:
High temperature rope, typically used as a gasket, providing a high-temperature seal that provides a higher degree of liquid or gas containment compared to a plain tape or rope gasket.
The rope can be partially or completely coated (partially coated rope allows for gluing or other methods of fastening).
This rope can also be fabricated into a closed ring and is ideal for many gasket and sealing applications on boilers and similar industrial appliances.

Exceptional Thermal Insulation and Fire Safety

Designed with a white fiberglass core and silicone coating, this rope delivers high thermal resistance and fire-retardant properties, making it suitable for sealing and insulation in high-temperature environments. Its self-extinguishing capability provides enhanced safety, especially in the event of accidental fire exposure.

Versatile Applications and Custom Sizes

This rope is available in a range of thicknesses from 6mm to 60mm and can be supplied in rolls, coils, or specific cut lengths to match your requirements. Its flexibility and high strength make it ideal for door/seal gasketing, furnace sealing, and oven insulation in industrial and commercial settings.

Durable, Weather and Chemical Resistant Construction

Made from E-glass fiberglass yarn coated with silicone, the rope resists most oils, mild acids, and alkalis, ensuring longevity and reliable performance. Its surface finish is smooth, contributing to easy handling and installation even in challenging environments.

FAQ's of Silicone Coated Fiberglass Rope:

Q: How is Silicone Coated Fiberglass Rope used in thermal insulation applications?

A: The rope is primarily used to seal doors and joints in furnaces and ovens, preventing heat loss and maintaining thermal efficiency. Its high temperature resistance and low thermal conductivity make it an optimal choice for insulation.

Q: What are the benefits of the silicone coating on the fiberglass rope?

A: The silicone coating enhances chemical resistance, surface smoothness, flexibility, and weather durability. It also adds fire-retardant qualities, enabling the rope to self-extinguish if exposed to flames.

Q: When should I choose this rope instead of other insulation or sealing materials?

A: Select this rope when you require high thermal resistance, fire safety, and chemical durability, especially in environments where temperatures reach up to 550C and exposure to oils, acids, or weather is expected.

Q: Where is Silicone Coated Fiberglass Rope typically installed?

A: It is commonly installed in industrial furnaces, ovens, boiler door seals, and other areas requiring thermal and fire-resistant sealing. Its customizable size makes it suitable for a variety of sealing and gasketing needs.

Q: What is the process for customizing the size or length of the rope?

A: You can specify the required thickness (typically 6mm to 60mm), length, and rope profile when ordering. Distributors and manufacturers can provide it in rolls, coils, or as cut lengths tailored to your specifications.

Q: How does the rope perform in environments with oil or mild chemicals?

A: Thanks to its silicone coating, the rope remains resistant to most oils, mild acids, and alkalis, ensuring that it doesn't degrade or lose performance under chemical exposure.
