Fibreglass Rope

FM Insulation is your trusted supplier of premium fibreglass rope. With over 30 years of industry experience, we provide top-quality insulation solutions tailored to the unique needs of Australian businesses.

What is fibreglass rope?

Fibreglass rope is a versatile, high-temperature resistant cord made from tightly twisted or braided glass fibres. It offers excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance, and chemical stability, making it ideal for various industrial and commercial applications.

Types of fibreglass rope we offer:

1. Twisted fibreglass rope: Offers good compressibility and flexibility.
2. Braided fibreglass rope: Provides higher density and improved abrasion resistance.

Key features and benefits of fibreglass rope

Our fibreglass rope provides numerous advantages for demanding industrial and commercial applications:

1. High temperature resistance: Withstands continuous exposure to temperatures up to 550°C.
2. Excellent thermal insulation: Effectively reduces heat transfer in various applications.
3. Fire resistance: Non-combustible material enhances fire safety in critical areas.
4. Chemical stability: Resists most acids and alkalis, making it suitable for harsh environments.
5. Low thermal conductivity: Helps maintain energy efficiency in high-temperature systems.
6. Flexibility: Easily conforms to irregular shapes and tight spaces.
7. Durability: Maintains its properties over time, even under challenging conditions.

Installation guidelines

While fibreglass rope is relatively easy to work with, follow these tips for optimal performance:

1. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.
2. Measure carefully and cut the rope to the required length, allowing for any compression.
3. When using as a seal or gasket, ensure proper compression to achieve an effective seal.
4. For high-temperature applications, allow for thermal expansion in your installation design.
5. In wet environments, consider using a protective coating or jacketing to prevent moisture absorption.
6. When joining lengths, use appropriate high-temperature adhesives or mechanical fasteners.
