What is Asbestos Rope?
Asbestos rope is a high-temperature resistant rope made from twisted asbestos fibers. It is designed to withstand extreme heat, fire, and chemicals, making it ideal for thermal insulation, sealing, and packing applications in industrial systems.
Depending on design, asbestos rope can be soft, braided, or twisted, and may include metallic wire reinforcement (brass or stainless steel) for added mechanical strength.
Its flexibility and strength allow it to seal gaps, joints, and doors in furnaces, boilers, ovens, and high-pressure systems — maintaining both thermal and mechanical integrity under harsh conditions.

At Olinc Industrial, we stock a wide range of asbestos ropes to suit different applications:
| Type | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Asbestos Twisted Rope | Made by twisting asbestos fiber strands together. | General insulation and wrapping around pipelines or exhausts. |
| Asbestos Braided Rope | Woven and braided for higher density and strength. | Boiler doors, furnace seals, and high-pressure gaskets. |
| Asbestos Lagging Rope | Soft, fluffy, and compressible rope. | Filling gaps, pipe lagging, and sealing insulation. |
| Asbestos Rope with Wire Reinforcement | Reinforced with stainless steel or brass wire. | High-temperature, high-vibration, or mechanical applications. |
