Ceramic Fibre Braided Round Rope is a dense and resilient insulation material designed for extreme high-temperature sealing, gasketing, and packing applications. Braided from ceramic fibre yarn around a reinforced ceramic core, it offers long-term durability and resistance in harsh thermal environments.
