3M™ Nextel™ Roving 440

3M™ Nextel™ Roving 440 is made from 440 continuous filament ceramic oxide fiber. The two roving styles are 1000 and 2000 denier. This material is designed to maintain strength and flexibility while withstanding continuous high temperatures. Nextel roving 440 is ideal for high temperature industrial and aerospace applications. This roving can be used as an input material to make different textiles to meet user needs. 3M Nextel Ceramic Fibers (PDF, 936.61 Kb) represent a major advancement in refractory fiber technology. The roving can be used to make a variety ceramic textiles including fabrics, tapes, sleevings and sewing threads. Because the fibers are flexible, continuous and strong, textiles can be produced without the aid of other fibers or wire inserts.

Nextel rovings from 3M are designed to meet the toughest thermal, mechanical and electrical performance requirements. They are heat, flame and oxidation resistant; and chemically resistant, lightweight, electrically insulating and flexible.
