Made from high-quality ceramic fiber yarn twisted into strong, flexible rope with various reinforcement options including fiberglass or stainless steel wire.
What Is Ceramic Fiber Rope?
Ceramic fiber rope is a twisted or braided cord of ceramic-fibre yarn (with optional fibreglass or stainless-steel-wire reinforcement) used for sealing, gasketing and expansion-joint packing up to refractory temperatures.

Properties & Advantages
- Flexible, reusable high-temperature seal
- Resists thermal cycling and flame impingement
- Wire-reinforced grades add strength
- Low heat storage, asbestos-free
- Stable in oxidising atmospheres
Typical Applications
- Door and access-gasket packing
- Expansion-joint and duct seals
- Boiler and furnace sealing
- Pump and valve stem packing
Installation & Handling
Pack into the joint and compress lightly; for moving or vibrating joints use the wire-reinforced grade and secure the ends to prevent unravelling.
