CERAMIC ROPE & TAPE

High-temperature ceramic rope is made from ceramic fiber yarn and reinforced with fiberglass for added strength. Ceramic ropes are used in high-temperature gasketing, packing, sealing and insulation applications. High-temperature ropes are often used to seal boiler and oven doors for improved efficiency.

Though ceramic rope isn't as strong as fiberglass rope, it is often selected because of its superior temperature resistance. In addition to having low thermal conductivity, ceramic rope is also recognized for being lightweight, chemical resistant and fire resistant.

Ceramic rope is offered in twisted and braided styles. Twisted rope is lightweight and easily conformable, while braided rope is stronger and denser. Square braided ceramic rope is used in high-temperature sealing applications where rope must be flush against a flat surface or fit into a square path, like a furnace or oven door seal.

Ceramic fiber tape is a narrow woven fabric manufactured from high-temperature ceramic fiber reinforced with high-temperature fiberglass. The tape is white and odorless, suitable for high-temperature applications.

Common applications for ceramic tape are high-temperature gasketing, oven and furnace door seals, and insulation wrapping and protection for hoses, pipes and cable.
