Soluble Fiber Twisted Rope

Introduction

Bio-soluble fiber (AES) is an artificial vitreous silicate high-temperature insulating fiber, also called low-biopersistence ceramic fiber. Its raw material complies with the EU Directive 67/548 NOTA Q exemption and is not classified as a carcinogen, so it is one of the alternatives to refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) and provides flexible high-temperature insulation for commercial, industrial and transport applications.

Soluble fiber twisted rope is made from bio-soluble fiber as the main raw material by spinning and twisting. Glass fiber or heat-resistant alloy wire can be added to suit the working temperature: glass reinforced rope serves at 650 C continuous, wire reinforced rope at 1000 C continuous with a short excursion to 1200 C. The rope is thermally stable and resists contact erosion from splashed molten aluminium and zinc.

Advantages

• Thermal insulation performance.
• Thermal stability.
• Low thermal conductivity.
• Low heat storage.
• Sound absorption and noise reduction.
• Bio-soluble, with the potential to reduce waste disposal costs.

Specifications

Scope of application

• Dry thermal insulation for kilns, high-temperature pipes and industrial vessels.
• Low-pressure dry static sealing and insulation at furnace doors, valves and flanges.
• Filling for industrial high-temperature door curtains and sealing of gaps.
• High-temperature insulation protection for machinery, engines and precision instruments.
• Auxiliary insulating wrap for the outer layer of hot equipment and cables; insulation protection only, with no independent fire-resisting qualification, and not to be used alone as a fire-resisting structural material.
• Flue liner insulation in low-pressure, non-corrosive flue gas duty; not for high-velocity erosion or highly corrosive flue gas.
• Sound absorption and noise reduction for industrial equipment in dry high-temperature sealing; not for high-temperature filtration.

Packaging and precautions

Packaging: each roll is supplied in its own sealed plastic bag.

• All technical data are for reference; actual performance is affected by site conditions, installation method and service environment, so the user should carry out a suitability test in advance and strictly follow national and industry safety regulations and standards.
• The product is suitable for dry, low-pressure, static high-temperature duty only, and not for strong acid or alkali corrosion, long-term liquid immersion, high-velocity media erosion or high-frequency heavy rubbing. Resistance to molten aluminium and zinc applies to splash contact only, not to flowing metal.
• Suitability must be assessed in advance for severe high-temperature or strongly corrosive duty.
• Although the raw material meets the EU non-carcinogen exemption, cutting and installation generate fiber dust that irritates skin and airways; wear a dust mask and protective gloves.
