    High-Temperature Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope Seals. High-Temperature Rope Seals.
    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).

    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.

    High-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Rope Seals

    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).

    Ultra-High- and Low-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope Seals. Ultra-High- and Low-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Rope Seals.
    Alumina silicate is loosely woven to create these ceramic fiber seals that are stronger, more flexible, and able to resist higher temperatures than Ultra-High- and Low-Temperature Rope Seals. They are commonly used as to tie products together during high-temperature processing, but they can handle cryogenic applications just as well. They won’t burn and they resist molten metal splash. These seals also resist steam, salts, grease, detergents, bleach, and hydraulic fluid; however, they will absorb these substances. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks.

    Ultra-High- and Low-Temperature Rope Seals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope Seals. Ultra-High- and Low-Temperature Rope Seals.
    A wide temperature range makes these ceramic fiber seals equally suitable for use in cryogenic applications as they are for extreme-heat applications. They’re made from tightly woven calcium alumina silicate, so they won’t burn and they resist molten metal splash. They also resist steam, salts, grease, detergents, bleach, and hydraulic fluid; however, they will absorb these substances. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks.
