    Square-Profile Ultra-High-Temperature Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope Seals. Square-Profile Ultra-High-Temperature Rope Seals.
    The flat edges on these square-profile seals provide more sealing surface than round-profile seals. They’re made of 98% silica fiber for excellent temperature resistance. They’re flexible and will conform to uneven surfaces. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks. They resist water, salts, and diluted acids.

    Ultra-High-Temperature Chemical-Resistant Flanged Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Rope Seals. Ultra-High-Temperature Chemical-Resistant Flanged Rope Seals.
    A ceramic fiber cover makes these seals more chemical resistant than the seals with a silica fabric cover. Seals resist acids (except hydrofluoric and phosphoric), diluted alkalies, most refrigerants, salts, and grease. The flange on these seals slides into a slot that is commonly found on oven, furnace, and boiler doors; it can be positioned to cover large gaps.

    A tighter braid makes these fiberglass seals more durable than High-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Rope Seals. They’re flexible and will conform to uneven surfaces. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks. They resist bleach, solvents, and most acids (do not use with hydrofluoric acid, hot phosphoric acid, and wet hydrogen chloride).

    In addition to high temperatures, these seals have a fiberglass fabric cover and core that resists most refrigerants, salts, and grease. They’re flexible and compressible, and are often used as caulking and for filling expansion joints. The flange on these seals slides into a slot that is commonly found on oven, furnace, and boiler doors; it can be positioned to cover large gaps.

    These loosely knitted fiberglass seals are more flexible, compressible, and conformable than High-Temperature Rope Seals. The looser construction also makes them more likely to absorb liquids. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks. They resist bleach, solvents, and most acids (do not use with hydrofluoric acid, hot phosphoric acid, and wet hydrogen chloride).

    Molten-Metal-Splash-Resistant Flanged Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Rope Seals. Molten-Metal-Splash-Resistant Flanged Rope Seals.
    A silicone-coated fiberglass fabric cover sheds sparks and molten metal splash while a stainless steel spring core bounces back when pressure is relieved. These seals resist steam, most refrigerants, salts, and grease. The flange on these seals slides into a slot that is commonly found on oven, furnace, and boiler doors; it can be positioned to cover large gaps.

    High-Temperature Chemical-Resistant Flanged Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Rope Seals. High-Temperature Chemical-Resistant Flanged Rope Seals.
    The PTFE coating on these fiberglass fabric seals is slippery, so they are easier than the other seals to press fit into oven, furnace, and boiler doors. The PTFE resists most acids, alkalies, refrigerants, salts, and grease. The flange is also handy for positioning over uneven gaps.
