Tephrex® Knitted Basalt Ropes

Compared to traditional fiberglass ropes, knitted basalt ropes can provide enhanced temperature and abrasion resistance, functioning as an excellent thermal barrier in applications with continuous operating temperatures of 1382°F (750°C). Our basalt rope can be constructed in soft or dense forms with unique physical characteristics and seal performance and coated with different materials for varied purposes. Knitted basalt rope is manufactured in both standard and custom sizes and designed in different forms and densities to create the best seal for your application.
