High-Temperature Flanged Rope Seals

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.

Ultra-High-Temperature Flanged Rope Seals

These seals have a strong Inconel core covered with woven silica fabric that’s been treated to withstand extremely high heat. They resist 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.

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

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.

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.
