Glass, Wire and Cotton Overbraids

Construction:
Saveguard Rope Laggings are manufactured from strips of high purity Ceramic Fibre Blanket. The blanket strips are then overbraided in an open pattern to produce a compressible rope with outstanding insulation properties. The overbraid material can be E’ Glass, Cotton or Wire Re- Inforced Glass Yarn (normally Nickel Chrome Alloy 601) depending on the application. Cotton overbraids are commonly used for Concaster Dummy Bar seals where the overbraid is sacrificial and burns off in use to release the core without leaving a deposit. The core material is normally 1260 grade blankets or we can offer a 1400 grade if required
Properties:

Ceramic Fibres are:

suitable for use at temperatures up to 1260 C dependant on application

resistant to most chemicals except Phosphoric, Hydrofluoric acids and strong alkalis

are non combustible.

have a low thermal conductivity
resistant to thermal shock

Re-inforcements temperature limitations:

E’ Glass Filament

suitable for temperatures up to 550 C

Stainless Steel Alloy Wire 601

suitable for temperatures up to 1091C

Cotton

Suitable for temperatures up to 150oC*
* Please Note: Cotton overbraided ropes are normally used in applications where the rope is contained i.e. concast dummy bar seals or expansion joints in refractory lining. The Cotton overbraid burns off at approximately 150oC without affecting the properties of the Ceramic Fibre and allowing the core to expand and fill the void.
