Silica Rope Packing

1. Standard packings are produced by braiding silica fibre yarn over a compact core of Silica fibre yarns. They are compact, firm and flexible with high mechanical resistance and excellent static sealing properties. 
2. Soft core packings are produced by braiding silica fibre yarns around a central core of bio soluble fibre insulation. Soft core packings whilst still dense, are lighter in weight but importantly more flexible than standard or brick solid packings. They have high thermal insulation capacity and excellent static sealing properties. 
3. Brick solid packings are produced by the "Braid-over-Braid" method where silica fibre yarns are heavy braided over a very compact core of braided silica yarns. Brick solid packings are a total braided construction and are therefore exceptionally compact, brick solid in density and maintain superior mechanical resistance under pressure, compression and abrasion.  

*Standard packings account for 90% of all packings produced, therefore if the construction type is not known, it is standard construction which we will quote for.
