INSULATION Firesleeving gives higher insulation values, increased strength and enhanced abrasion resistance.
Insulation firesleeving withstands repeated exposures to molten steel, molten aluminum and molten glass up to 3000°F (1650°C). The heavy coating of our proprietary iron oxide red silicone rubber compound sheds molten metal splash immediately, so very little heat transfer occurs.
Insulation firesleeving will withstand continuous exposure to 500° F (260°C); up to 2000°F (1090°C) for 15-20 minutes; and up to 3000°F (1650°C) for 15-30 seconds.
When exposed to flames, the silicone rubber transforms into a crust, creating a protective SiO2 refractory layer.
Insulation firesleeving is constructed from high bulk glass fiber braid sleeving. Excellent modulus of elasticity makes it an ideal choice for bundling hoses, tubes and cables in a variety of hostile environments.
