Textile rope Ceramic Packing (Glass Reinforced)

ceramic fiber

Ceramic Packing (Glass Reinforced)(Round): ceramic packing manufactured from high performance refractory ceramic fibre yarns reinforced with glass filament to produce a round rope section. Ceramic yarns are produced on traditional textile machinery by carding high purity 1260°C grade ceramic fibres with a percentage of cellulose fibre to assist in processing. The yarns are spun and combined with the relevant re-enforcing media to improve the tensile strength at extended temperatures. The organic content will burn off at temperatures above 200°C without affecting properties of the ceramic fibre, however adequate ventilation should be provided during this initial firing. Where tensile strength is important the temperature limitations of the re-enforcing media should be considered. Our ceramic packing is suitable for temperatures up to 1260°C dependant on application. It is resistant to most chemicals except phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis. The ceramic packing is non-combustible, has low thermal conductivity, and is resistant to thermal shock. It is rated to 1260°C in situ with the glass reinforcement rated to 550°C. Packings are also available in rectangular sections, please contact us for further details.
