AVSil® Braided (BR) and Twisted (TR) Silica Ropes are used primarily as packing for high temperature sealing applications.

AVSil® Silica Rope – Braided

The dense construction and higher strength of our braided silica rope holds together extremely well at elevated temperatures. Ideal for use in applications that require improved handling properties and thermal performance.  Application temperature up to 1800°F (982°F). AVSil® Silica Rope is extensively used in the Power Generation, Furnace, Oven, Refinery, Construction, Shipbuilding, Welding, and Metal Processing industries.

Potential applications include: furnace door gaskets, core for tadpole gaskets, seals for casting molds, packings for electric transformers, continuous casters, coke oven doors, and boilers.

AVSil® Silica Rope - Twisted

The twisted construction is a lower cost silica rope option ideal for those applications that do not require improved handling properties and the operational environment is not that severe. Application temperature up to 1800°F (982°C). AVSil® Silica Rope is extensively used in the Power Generation, Furnace, Oven, Refinery, Construction, Shipbuilding, Welding, and Metal Processing industries.

Potential applications include: furnace door gaskets, core for tadpole gaskets, seals for casting molds, packings for electric transformers, continuous casters, coke oven doors, and boilers.
