High Temperature Ropes and Braids

Armil CFS stocks high temperature ropes and braids woven from ceramic fiber yarns and silica yarns. Fiberfrax ceramic fiber ropes and braids are durable, high temperature packing materials ideal for use in industrial applications. Fiberfrax ropes and braids can be used at temperatures up to 2300°F. Fiberfrax ceramic fiber yarns are woven into soft pliable twisted rope and denser round braid and square braid, Refrasil rope is a dense braided product made from high purity silica fibers. Refrasil rope can be used at temperatures up to 1800°F.

Applications include:

  • Furnace door seal, Oven Door Seal, Boiler Door Seal
  • Expansion joint insulation in boils and furnaces
  • High Temperature gasketing and packing
  • Woodburning stove door seal

Refrasil Rope

Refrasil rope is a high density, braided, 96% silica product designed for temperatures up tp 1800°F Refrasil rope is relatively inert and resists most chemical attack. This rope will maintain strength an flexibility to 1800°F. Refrasil rope is an excellent alternative to ceramic fiber ropes. Refrasil Rope is available in diameters from 1/4” - 1”.

Fiberfrax Rope

Fiberfrax ceramic fiber rope is a 3 ply twisted rope manufactured from Fiberfrax alumina silica fibers. Fiberfrax twisted rope is a low density, highly compressive product used in high temperature packing and gasketing applications. Fiberfrax twisted rope products can be used at temperatures up to 2300°F. Fiberfrax rope is available in diameters from 1/4” - 2”.

Fiberfrax Round Braid

Fiberfrax ceramic fiber round braid is a dense ceramic fiber packing material designed for high temperature applications. Fiberfrax round braid is used in applications requiring high compression and resistance to mechanical abuse. Fiberfrax Round Braid is available in diameters from 1/4 - 2”

Fiberfrax Square Braid

Fiberfrax ceramic fiber square braid is a dense ceramic fiber packing material woven into a square cross section. Fiberfrax square braid is used in applications requiring high compression and resistance to mechanical abuse. Fiberfrax SquareBraid is available in cross sections from 1/4 - 2”.
