Ceramic Fiber RopesCeramic fibre ropes & textiles are woven or brained from yarn consisting of refactory ceramic fibre with approximately 20% organic carrier fibre. Insert materials are incorporated into the yarn to increase fibric tensile strength. Alloy wire insert (Grade MR ) are available for obtaining maximum strength at elevated temperature. Glass filament insert (Grade Gr ) are used in applications where electrical resistance is required. Ceramic fibre textiles may be used upto 1250 Deg. C, however when tensile strength is important the temparature limits of the insert material should be considered. Textile products can be supplied with little or no organic carrier. These products have exceptionally low smoke-off characteristics upon heating compared with standard ceramic fibre textiles. Consequently these product are especially suited to fire protection applications and for hot wrapping of cables, pipes and ducts. These heat- treated products are only available with alloy wire reinforcement. Ropes are manufactured from yarn or blanket strips compressed and over braided with fibre glass, ceramic fibre or stainless steel wire. These ropes are accordingly called as Twisted, Ply or Braided. Ropes are available in various sizes and grades. Typical Applications : Gasket & wraping material Cable & wire insulation Welding curtains Furnace curtains & heat Zone separators Fuel line insulation Expension Joints Door Gasket
