Knitted Soft, Knitted Dense, Twisted, Square Braided
High Temperature, Heat & Flame Resistant
high temperature and heat resistant fireproof fiberglass knitted soft rope
Benefits of our High-Temperature Fiberglass Heat Protection Products

Fiberglass offers excellent heat resistance, retaining more than half of its room temperature tensile strength at 675°F / 357°C, and more than 25% at 875°F / 468°C.  It begins to soften at 1500°F / 815°C and melts near 2050°F / 1121°C. Non-combustible and excellent thermal conductivity to dissipate hot spots; high resistance to chemicals and unaffected by UV light.

Fiberglass Knitted Soft Rope
Fiberglass Knitted Dense Rope
high temperature and heat resistant fiberglass fireproof knitted dense rope
1200°F / 648°C Continuous Exposure: Higher Intermittent

This high temperature rope is heat and flame resistant.  This knitted rope is fabricated with high quality type E fiberglass that will not burn and will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures of 1200°F / 648°C.

This material resists most acids and alkalis and is unaffected by most bleaches and solvents.  It is highly flexible and conformable.

The base fiber is manufactured to the specifications of ASTM D-578, ASTM committee D13, and subcommittee D13.18.

Typical applications for this high temperature rope include as a gasket or seal on boiler, coke oven, industrial oven and wood stove/pellet stove doors.  It is also used for crucible packing and pollution control equipment, high temperature tying and lacing cords, as a core rope in tadpole tapes and as a pipe wrap.

As a fireproof rope, this rope will not burn, but will melt at temperatures above 1500°F.

high temperature heat flame resistant fiberglass rope with stainless steel metal mesh core
Fiberglass Rope with Stainless Steel or Inconel Metal Mesh Core
Rope with metal mesh core (stainless steel or inconel) is used where high cycle compressions are required.  The excellent long term pushback of the core makes this rope outstanding where frequent door or access operations are expected. 
Part Number
R-FG-MC
Heat Treated Fiberglass Rope with Stainless Steel or Inconel Metal Mesh Core
Heat Treated Rope with metal mesh core (stainless steel or inconel) is used where high cycle compressions are required, and also an exceptionally clean gasket material that does not shed fibers, such as for clean rooms, paint booth and paint oven use in automotive painting operations.
