Product information "thoenes ® K271 – Ceramic yarn packing"

The thoenes ® K271 – Ceramic Yarn Packing is manufactured from ceramic staple fibre yarns.

Key properties :

  • Distinctly textile-like, soft and supple,
  • Low thermal conductivity of the fibres, thus excellent insulating properties,

  • Spun-in cores made of chrome wire or glass yarn ensure that strength is maintained.

Areas of application :

  • Static applications (e.g. in furnace, boiler and chimney doors, inspection hatches,  wrapping of exhaust systems and for sealing heat exchangers),
  • Temperature-resistant up to approx. 1000 °C,
  • Resistant to oils, greases, liquid metals, acids (except phosphoric and hydrofluoric acid) and weak alkalis.

Available forms :

  • Square, round, rectangular or 2 diagonal braids (5–50 mm *),
