Construction
Ceramic Braided Packings
are manufactured from high performance ceramic fibre yarns reinforced with
either an inconel or glass reinforcement.
Ceramic yarns are produced on traditional textile machinery by carding high
purity 1260°C grade ceramic fibres with a percentage cellulose fibre to
assist in the processing. The yarns are then spun with the relevant re-inforcing
media to improve the tensile strength at extended temperatures. The organic
content will burn off at temperatures above 200 °C without affecting the
properties of the ceramic fibre.
Adequate ventilation should be present when using the product.
Properties
Ceramic Braided Packings are suitable for use at temperatures up to 1260 °C,
depending on the application.
Resistant to most chemicals except phosphoric and hydrofluoric acids and concentrated
alkalis.

Have a low thermal conductivity.
Resistant to thermal shock.
Reinforcement: E= Glass
Filament.
Temp Limits
Suitable for temperatures up to 550°C.
Inconel wire suitable for
temperatures up to 1091°C.
