Expect good resistance to thermal shock, flame, and very high temperature. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Twisted Fiberglass Rope is known for good thermal insulating properties and inherent flame resistance. It is not the right choice where hydrofluoric acid or strong alkalis are present.

You will find this material specified across foundry and heat treating, boiler and heat exchanger service, and furnace and oven doors.

Reference part number 11961000 when ordering; the item is sold by the pound. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design.
