How Ceramic Fiber Rope / Tape Is Made

At Axim Mica, we use an advanced automated production process for our ceramic fiber rope and tapes to superior quality, efficiency, and consistency.

Fiber Production

Axim Mica’s process commences with the extrusion of high-purity ceramic fibers, carefully composed of alumina, silica, and other refractory oxides through precise spinnerets, ensuring uniform fiber diameters.

Fiber Carding and Blanket Formation

These fibers undergo carding, evenly distributing and layering them to form a lightweight, consistent blanket – a crucial step for achieving the desired density and mechanical properties.

Needling Process

The layered blanket is then needled, where barbed needles interlock the fibers, creating a sturdy, cohesive structure without binders or additives.

Slitting, Weaving, and Braiding

The needled blanket is precision-slit into tapes or strands, which are woven or braided into specific configurations like twisted ropes, square braided ropes, or flat tapes, incorporating reinforcement materials for enhanced strength.

Heat Treatment

A controlled heat treatment process follows, removing residual organics and stabilizing the ceramic fibers for optimal thermal resistance in high-temperature applications.

Quality Control

Throughout production, rigorous testing and inspection protocols ensure compliance with technical specifications for thermal resistance, strength, and dimensional accuracy.

Types of Ceramic Fiber Rope/Tapes from Axim Mica

Axim Mica offers a range of ceramic fiber rope tapes, each tailored to specific temperature and strength requirements, to serve our clients.

Twisted Rope

Fabricated from ceramic fiber yarn twisted in left-hand and right-hand patterns, these ropes are available in diameters ranging from 3 mm to 50 mm. Reinforced with fiberglass filaments, stainless steel wire, or high-temperature alloy wire, they provide exceptional strength at elevated temperatures.

Square Braided Rope

Also known as square packing, this dense and resilient option is plaited from ceramic fiber yarn reinforced with E-glass, stainless steel wire, or high-temperature alloy wire. The square cross-section ensures a flush fit against flat surfaces or in square paths, making it ideal for sealing applications like furnace or oven door seals.

Round Braided Rope

Similar to the square braided variant, this type features a round cross-section for versatility in applications where a cylindrical profile is preferred.

Ceramic Fiber Tape

Axim Mica’s ceramic fiber tapes are narrow, woven fabrics reinforced with high-temperature fiberglass. Their flat configuration makes them suitable for gaskets, insulation wrapping, and protection for hoses, pipes, and cables in high-temperature environments.
