New England Braiding manufactures “Seal Ropes” for specific applications such as Rama Repola washers, where a dense construction with low elongation is required. “Seal Ropes” have large central axial cores buried within the braid to accept the tension placed on the rope. The carefully placed cores prevent the stretching and the resulting reduction in cross section that causes loss of sealing. The diamond shaped cross section readily conforms to the mating V-shaped stationary and rotating sides in these machines.*

NEBCO™ STYLE 102/150 SEAL ROPE

  • Description
    Style 102/150 NEBCO™ Style 102/150 Seal Rope has a low friction graphite/PTFE composite fiber tightly braided about centrally placed non-stretching cores of para-aramid packing yarn.

    The composite fiber in the braid and outer axial fill used in this style provides a conformable sealing surface with the lowest running friction and the greatest rate of heat transfer possible in this non-elongating construction.

    Style 102/150 Seal Rope is available in 3/4” and 1” cross sections and in metric cross sections of 20 mm and 25mm. Other sizes are available by special order.
