About Silicone Coated Fiberglass Round Rope

The silicone coated fiberglass rope is fabricated from a bulk braided fiberglas 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.

Superior Temperature and Fire Resistance

Designed to withstand continuous exposure up to 250C and short bursts reaching 300C, this rope meets UL94 V-0 flame test standards for fire safety. Its silicone coating provides added protection against heat, making it highly suitable for environments requiring thermal stability and flame retardance.

Flexible Application Suitability

Available in multiple diameters and customizable lengths, this round rope adapts to numerous uses. Whether sealing doors in ovens, furnaces, or kilns, or providing reliable electrical insulation, its robust construction and adaptability ensure optimal performance across various industrial settings.

Reliable Protection and Durability

The product features outstanding tensile strength, anti-stick silicone finish, and resistance to oils, acids, alkalis, and weathering. Its negligible water absorption and non-toxic nature ensure long-lasting performance, making it ideal for industries where safety and durability are essential.

FAQ's of Silicone Coated Fiberglass Round Rope:

Q: How is the silicone coated fiberglass round rope typically used?

A: This rope is commonly employed for thermal insulation and as a sealing gasket for doors of ovens, furnaces, kilns, and in electrical insulation applications. It is also utilized where flame retardancy and chemical resistance are required.

Q: What makes this rope beneficial in high-temperature environments?

A: Its ability to withstand continuous temperatures up to 250C and short bursts up to 300C, combined with excellent tensile strength and compliance with UL94 V-0 flame test, delivers reliable performance and protection in extreme heat settings.

Q: Where can I request customized sizes or colors for this product?

A: Customized diameters, lengths, and colors (such as white or grey) can be requested directly from the manufacturer, distributor, or supplier. Standard options are readily available, while specific requirements are catered to upon inquiry.

Q: What is the process of manufacturing this round rope?

A: High-grade E-glass fiberglass yarn is braided or woven into rope form, then coated with silicone rubber to provide a smooth, anti-stick, weatherproof, and fire-resistant surface.

Q: What chemicals does the rope resist during usage?

A: The rope demonstrates resistance to oils, acids, alkalis, and general weathering, ensuring integrity in challenging industrial and commercial environments.

Q: When is it advantageous to use silicone coated fiberglass rope instead of other materials?

A: It is most effective when high-temperature resistance, flexibility, non-toxicity, low water absorption, and strong chemical resistance are needed, particularly for thermal insulation and sealing in ovens, kilns, and similar equipment.
