Expanded Graphite Braided Flexible Rope
Expanded Graphite Braided Flexible Rope
Expanded graphite rope is widely used for sealing, gasketing, and thermal insulation in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and metal processing.
Expanded graphite braided flexible rope is a high-performance sealing and insulation material made from expanded graphite fibers, woven into a dense, flexible rope structure. This material offers superior resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and pressure, making it ideal for applications in extreme industrial environments. The braided construction provides excellent strength and flexibility, ensuring reliable sealing and insulation even under dynamic conditions.

1) High Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding continuous exposure to temperatures up to 500°C (932°F) in oxidizing environments and up to 3000°C (5432°F) in non-oxidizing environments.
2) Excellent Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to most chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents, ensuring durability in aggressive environments.
3) Flexible and Strong: The braided structure allows for flexibility, easy installation, and the ability to conform to irregular shapes while maintaining strength and durability.
4) Low Friction and High Lubricity: Naturally lubricated by the graphite structure, reducing wear and tear in dynamic applications such as valves and pumps.
5) Non-Flammable and Safe: Does not ignite or release harmful fumes, ensuring safety in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
1) Valve and Pump Packing: Commonly used as packing material in high-temperature valves and pumps for petrochemical, chemical, and power generation industries.
2) Sealing and Gasketing: Ideal for creating high-temperature seals and gaskets in flanges, boilers, heat exchangers, and other industrial equipment.
3) Thermal Insulation: Used for wrapping pipes, fittings, and other high-temperature equipment to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
4) Expansion Joints: Acts as a flexible filler in high-temperature expansion joints that need to accommodate thermal movement without losing sealing integrity.
5) Foundry and Molten Metal Applications: Suitable for use in metal casting and foundry operations due to its resistance to high temperatures and molten metal splashes.
1) High Temperature and Chemical Stability: Maintains excellent sealing and insulation properties in the most challenging conditions.
2) Durability and Flexibility: The braided structure offers flexibility for easy installation and conforms to irregular shapes while withstanding mechanical stress and movement.
3) Long Service Life: Resistant to wear, abrasion, and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in extreme industrial environments.
4) Versatile and Customizable: Available in various diameters, reinforcement options, and densities to meet specific customer needs.
5) Non-Toxic and Safe: Free from hazardous materials like asbestos, providing a safer option for industrial sealing and insulation.
1) Standard Expanded Graphite Braided Rope: Made from pure expanded graphite fibers, suitable for general sealing and insulation applications in high-temperature environments.
2) Reinforced Expanded Graphite Rope: Reinforced with wire (such as stainless steel or Inconel) for increased tensile strength and pressure resistance in demanding applications.
3) Graphite-Lubricated Rope: Treated with additional graphite or PTFE-based lubricants to reduce friction and improve performance in dynamic sealing applications.
