Kenworks Ventures Company Limited is the leading supplier of all types of asbestos ropes and tapes in Kenya and East Africa.
Asbestos rope is made of braided asbestos fiber and its section tends to be round, rectangle or square. It is widely used in centrifugal pumps, compressors, vacuum pumps, mixers and ship propeller shaft seals, piston pumps and so on. It has a good thermal conductivity, acid and alkali resistance. Compared with other sealing materials, asbestos rope can be molded into any shape and operates well at extreme temperatures. Especially, it has a ability of halting the spread of fire.
Note: All asbestos ropes can be reinforced by steel wire, copper wire, or nickel wire.
Pure asbestosTape
Pure asbestos rope is designed for static sealing and operates well at high pressure and temperature working environments.
Twisted asbestos rope
It is manufactured by two or more strands of long asbestos (chrysotile) and widely used as caulking, sealing and heat insulation on thermal installations and heat conduction systems. Ideal working temperature ranges from 250 – 550°C. The diameter of the round section is from Φ3.0mm to 50mm.
Product specification:
- Working Temp: 250 – 550°C
- Diameter: Φ3.0mm to 50mm.
- Packing: 10kg/roll
Square asbestos rope
This asbestos rope is still made of long asbestos fiber yarn and woven into square form with the side of length from 3.0 mm to 50.0mm. Due to good prosperities of heat resistance and low thermal conductivity, it is often used as heat insulation and sealing materials.
Product specification:
- Working Temp: 250 – 550°C
- Side length: 3.0 ~ 50.0mm
- Packing: 10kg/roll
Asbestos lagging rope
Asbestos lagging rope has two layers: the outside is braided with dusted asbestos; the inside is filled with ceramic. This thermal insulating material has good elasticity and great flexibility, and is ideal for applications of heating pipelines where need flexures and constant vibration.
Product specification:
- Temp: up to 650°C
- Size: Φ12 – 50mm
- Packing: 10kg/roll
