Asbestos (India)

Other Details

Asbestos Rope packing enables various packing derivatives to suit different service temperature ranges. It is a popular sealing element in manufacturing equipment-handling heat such as furnaces, boilers, high temperature instruments. In power plans, Asbestos rope is a basic maintenance item used for general boiler service such as caulking, filling, expansion joints, between boiler walls, and brick work, and on steam and exhaust lines. Asbestos rope packing is an excellent emergency substitute for packing, gaskets and groove packing where other materials are not available or where less pliable, less adaptable materials cannot be used. Its piling develops causaioning effect. The dense packing does not allow temperature and fluid like steam to escape.
